TLDR
The Qilian Orogen at the northern margin of the Tibetan Plateau is a type suture zone that recorded a complete history from continental breakup to ocean basin evolution, and to the ultimate continental collision in the time period from the Neoproterozoic to the Paleozoic.About:

Tectonic affinity and evolution of the Precambrian Qilian block: Insights from petrology, geochemistry and geochronology of the Hualong Group in the Qilian Orogen, NW China
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented a systematic study of petrology, geochemistry and geochronology of paragneisses and intermediate to basic intrusions from the Hualong Group, which represents the lower part of Precambrian basement of the block.

The Qiman Tagh Orogen as a window to the crustal evolution in northern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau
M. Yu,C.Y. Feng,M. Santosh,M. Santosh,M. Santosh,J.W. Mao,Yongfeng Zhu,Y.M. Zhao,D.X. Li,Bin Li +9 more
TL;DR: The Qiman Tagh Orogenic Belt (QTOB) as discussed by the authors was constructed through protracted accretion and collision of a collage of terranes during subduction and closure of the Qiman tagh Ocean, a branch of Paleo-Tethys Ocean from the Neoproterozoic to Early Mesozoic.

Evolution of the NE Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau, constrained by the apatite fission track ages of the mountain ranges around the Xining Basin in NW China
TL;DR: In this paper, the apatite fission track (AFT) dating of 19 samples along four north-south sections in the Laji Shan and Daban Shan showed that the AFT ages of the laji Shan from 88-Ma to 12-Ma and the ages of daban Shan are between 60 and 32-Ma.

TL;DR: In this article, a combined study of zircon U-Pb ages, whole-rock chemistry, Sr-Nd isotopes and in situ Lu-Hf isotopic ratios in zircons was carried out on Permian monzogranites and mafic microgranular enclaves (MME) and coeval massive gabbros in the northern Alxa block, North China.

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.

Petrogenetic implications of Ti, Zr, Y, and Nb variations in volcanic rocks
TL;DR: In this paper, a table of mineral-liquid distribution coefficients for Ti, Zr, Y, and Nb for basic, intermediate and acid melt compositions were used to interpret variations of these elements, first in basalts and second during fractional crystallization from basic to acid magmas.

Ti-V plots and the petrogenesis of modern and ophiolitic lavas
TL;DR: In this article, the authors applied the Ti/V plot to published data on ophiolites from a variety of postulated settings and in general supported the conclusions of previous investigators.
