Middle Paleozoic convergent orogenic belts in western Inner Mongolia (China): framework, kinematics, geochronology and implications for tectonic evolution of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt
TLDR
Based mainly on field geological observation and geochronologic data, six tectonic units have been recognized in western Inner Mongolia (China), including, from south to north: North China Craton (NCC), Southern Orogenic Belt (SOB), Hunshandake Block (HB), Northern Orogenics Belt (NOB), South Mongolia microcontinent (SMM), and Southern margin of Ergun Block (SME), suggesting that the Tectonic framework of the CAOB is characterized by an accretion of different blocks and orogenic belts REAbout:

Early-Late Devonian Post-Collision Extension Due to Slab Breakoff Regime along the Northern Margin of North China Craton: Implications from Muscovite 40Ar-39Ar Dating
Changhai Li,Shichao Li,Zhenghong Liu,Zhongyuan Xu,Xiaojie Dong,Qiang Shi,Shijie Wang,Fan Feng +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, 40Ar-39Ar muscovite ages obtained from the central part of the northern North China Craton were analyzed to shed light on the timing of post-collision extension.

Geochemistry and zircon U–Pb–Hf isotopes of the Mante Aobao granite porphyry at East Ujimqin Banner, Inner Mongolia: implications for petrogenesis and tectonic setting
TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed petrography, geochemistry and zircon U-Pb-Hf isotopes of the Mante Aobao granite porphyry in East Ujimqin Banner, Inner Mongolia, with the aim of determining its age and petrogenesis, important for understanding the early Palaeozoic tectonic evolution of the Xing-an-Mongolian Orogenic Belt.

Ridge subduction and episodes of crustal growth in accretionary belts: Evidence from late Paleozoic felsic igneous rocks in the southeastern Central Asian Orogenic Belt, Inner Mongolia, China
TL;DR: In this article , the authors report petrological, geochemical, whole-rock Sr-Nd isotope and zircon U-Pb and Hf isotope analyses of late Paleozoic felsic igneous rocks from the northern Inner Mongolia region, southeastern CAOB.

Early Permian magmatism above a slab window in Inner Mongolia, North China: Implications for the Paleo-Asian Ocean subduction processes and accretionary crustal growth
TL;DR: In this article , the authors investigated the Early Permian gabbros-granodiorites from Xi Ujimqin in the northern Inner Mongolian region, and showed that these mafic rocks are products of partial melting of depleted mantle that had been metasomatized by slab derived fluids, with subsequent fractional crystallization and minor crustal contamination.

Triassic Nappe in the Central Part of the Southern Central Asian Orogenic Belt (Ejinaq, NW China): Evidence from Structural Analysis and Geothermochronology
TL;DR: In this article , the authors investigated new field mapping, seismic sections, geochronology and low-temperature thermochronometric dating to provide constraints on the history of this thrust nappe in the Chaheilingashun area (northwestern Guaizihu region).

Chemical and isotopic systematics of oceanic basalt : implications for mantle composition and processes
TL;DR: In this article, trace-element data for mid-ocean ridge basalts and ocean island basalts are used to formulate chemical systematics for oceanic basalts, interpreted in terms of partial-melting conditions, variations in residual mineralogy, involvement of subducted sediment, recycling of oceanic lithosphere and processes within the low velocity zone.

Trace element discrimination diagrams for the tectonic interpretation of granitic rocks
TL;DR: In this article, a data bank containing over 600 high quality trace element analyses of granites from known settings was used to demonstrate using ORG-normalized geochemical patterns and element-SiO2 plots that most of these granite groups exhibit distinctive trace element characteristics.
