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.

Late early Paleozoic continental collision on the northern margin of the Central Qilian Block, NE Tibetan Plateau: Evidence from a two-stage tectono–metamorphic event

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors present the results of thermobarometric calculation and geochronological analyses for deformed metamorphic rocks on the northern margin of the Central Qilian Block (CQB) and provide a record of the continental collision of the CQB.

Geochemical constraints on the nature of Late Archean basaltic-andesitic magmatism in the North China Craton

TL;DR: In this paper , an integrated study of whole-rock major and trace elements as well as zircon Hf and wholerock Nd isotopes in late Archean basaltic-andesitic rocks from the North China Craton (NCC) was conducted.
Journal ArticleDOI

Detrital zircon geochronology and stratigraphy of the Proterozoic strata in the Olongbuluke terrane of Northwest China: Implications for the Great Unconformity

TL;DR: Zhang et al. as mentioned in this paper carried out detrital zircon U-Pb analyses for seven samples collected from the Paleoproterozoic Quanji Group and the overlying Neoprotectic strata in the Olongbuluke terrane (OLT) of Northwest China.

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.

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.
