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:

Shortening of lower crust beneath the NE Tibetan Plateau
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reprocessed a high-resolution deep seismic reflection profile to reveal the detailed crustal structure of the junction between the Qilian Shan-Nan Shan thrust belt and the Hexi Corridor basin in the NE Tibetan Plateau.

Neoproterozoic magmatic and metamorphic imprints in the East Kunlun Orogenic Belt, North Tibetan Plateau, NW China: Implications for the assembly and initial breakup of the Rodinia supercontinent
TL;DR: The East Kunlun Orogenic Belt (EKOB) as discussed by the authors experienced an intense, long-lasting, and complicated multi-stage orogeny from the Neoproterozoic to Early Mesozoic.
Journal ArticleDOI
Petrogenesis and tectonic implications of early Palaeozoic igneous rocks of the western South Qilian Belt, central China
TL;DR: In this article, five representative granitoids from the western South Qilian Belt were sampled for zircon LA-ICPMS U-Pb dating, Lu-Hf isotopes, and whole-rock geochemical analyses.

Petrology and geochronology of the Yushigou nephrite jade from the North Qilian Orogen, NW China: Implications for subduction-related processes
TL;DR: In this article, a green nephrite (tremolite) jade from Yushigou ophiolite suite in the North Qilian orogen has been investigated, and the results from petrographic, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction, Electron microprobe analyses (EMPA) and zircon U-Pb geochronological studies to characterize the nephite jade and its genetic setting.

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.
