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:

Paleoproterozoic–Paleozoic tectonic evolution of the Longshou Shan, western North China craton
TL;DR: The Longshou Shan is the northern backstop of the Cenozoic Himalayan-Tibetan orogen and occupies a key linkage between the Tarim continent and North China craton as discussed by the authors .

40Ar/39Ar thermochronological constraints on the retrogression and exhumation of ultra-high pressure (UHP) metamorphic rocks from Xitieshan terrane, North Qaidam, China
Rongguo Hu,Rongguo Hu,Rongguo Hu,Jan R. Wijbrans,Fraukje M. Brouwer,Min Wang,Linghao Zhao,Hua-Ning Qiu +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the age of UHP metamorphic boudins in the Xitieshan terrane, North Qaidam, is estimated using 40Ar/39Ar stepwise heating analysis.
Northward subduction of the South Qilian ocean: insights from early Paleozoic magmatism in the South-Central Qilian belts
TL;DR: In this article, the early Paleozoic mafic and granitic intrusions in the South Qilian belt and the Central Qilian block were analyzed to constrain the subduction and accretion of the south Qilian ocean.

TL;DR: Zogranite, Suyougou granite and Xichagou diorite were interpreted to the long-term northward subduction of North Qilian oceanic lithosphere during ca. 505 and 425

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.
