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:

Genesis, metallogenetic and tectonic significance of the A-type granites in Hashitu Mo deposit, southern Great Hinggan Range, NE China
TL;DR: The Hashitu Mo deposit located in the southern part of the Great Hinggan Range (GHR) is a newly-discovered Mo deposit as mentioned in this paper, which mainly occurs as quartz-sulfide veins in monzogranite and granite porphyry.

Regional Geology Across the Solonker Suture Zone
TL;DR: In this paper, the Solonker Suture Zone formation is investigated in the southeastern segment of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB) across the more than 500 km wide accretionary collision zone between the Mongolian Arcs to the north and the North China Craton to the south.

Origin and tectonic evolution of the Langshan (NW China): Insights from Proterozoic magmatic and sedimentary records
TL;DR: Zhang et al. as mentioned in this paper reported zircon U-Pb ages and geochemical data for magmatic and metasedimentary rocks in the northern Langshan and concluded that the Baoyintu Group was deposited in the Mesoproterozoic and mainly sourced from the basement rocks and coeval rift-related granites.

Geochemistry, zircon U-Pb ages and Sr-Nd-Hf isotopes of an Early Triassic appinitic complex in southeastern Inner Mongolia, China: implications for the late tectonic evolution of the Paleo-Asian Ocean
Junbin Zhu,Sumei Zhang +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a newly identified Early Triassic appinitic complex in southeastern Inner Mongolia in the eastern segment of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt has been identified, which can be divided into two zones: an outer zone of intermediate rocks and inner zone dominated by mafic rocks.

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.
