The Lhasa Terrane: Record of a microcontinent and its histories of drift and growth

TL;DR: Using zircon in situ U-Pb and Lu-Hf isotopic and bulk-rock geochemical data of Mesozoic-Early Tertiary magmatic rocks sampled along four north-south traverses across the Lhasa Terrane, Wang et al. as discussed by the authors showed that the Lhaasa terrane has ancient basement rocks of Proterozoic and Archean ages (up to 2870 Ma) in its centre with younger and juvenile crust (Phanerozoic) accreted towards its both northern and southern edges.

Mesozoic─Cenozoic geological evolution of the Himalayan-Tibetan orogen and working tectonic hypotheses

TL;DR: In this article, the authors synthesize the Triassic through Cenozoic geology of the central Himalayan-Tibetan orogen and presents their tectonic interpretations in a time series of schematic lithosphere-scale cross-sections and paleogeographic maps.

Gangdese magmatism in southern Tibet and India–Asia convergence since 120 Ma

TL;DR: TRELOAR et al. as mentioned in this paper showed that the Gangdese batholith in southern Tibet was emplaced from c. 210 Ma to c. 10 Ma and two intense magmatic pulses within the batholith occur at: (1) 90 ± 5 Ma, which is restricted to 89−94° E in the eastern segment of the southern Lhasa subterrane; and (2) 50 ± 3 Ma, where the latter pulse was followed by a phase of widespread, dominantly felsic adakitic intrusive rocks at 16 ± 2 Ma.

Birth and demise of the Bangong-Nujiang Tethyan Ocean: A review from the Gerze area of central Tibet

TL;DR: In this article, the existence of the Bangong-Nujiang Tethyan Ocean (BNTO) is inferred from the presence of dismembered ophiolite bodies along the Lhasa-Qiangtang suture zone.
Journal ArticleDOI

Geochronology and geochemistry of the Early Jurassic Yeba Formation volcanic rocks in southern Tibet: Initiation of back-arc rifting and crustal accretion in the southern Lhasa Terrane

TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed study on the volcanic rocks of the Yeba Formation (YF) with the results offering insights into the ways in which the juvenile crust may be accreted in the southern Lhasa Terrane in the Jurassic.

Chemical and isotopic systematics of oceanic basalt : implications for mantle composition and processes

S. S. Sun
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.

Subcommission on geochronology: Convention on the use of decay constants in geo- and cosmochronology

TL;DR: The IUGS Subcommission on Geochronology (FOOTNOTE 4) as discussed by the authors recommended the adoption of a standard set of decay constants and isotopic abundances in isotope geology.

Composition of the Continental Crust

TL;DR: In this paper, the present-day composition of the continental crust, the methods employed to derive these estimates, and the implications of continental crust composition for the formation of the continents, Earth differentiation, and its geochemical inventories are discussed.
