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.

The Early Paleozoic Tectonic Framework and Evolution of Northern West Qinling Orogen: By Zircon U-Pb Dating and Geochemistry of Rocks from Tianshui and Sunjiaxia

TL;DR: The Tianshui-Sunjiaxia area is located in the connection zone of West Qinling Orogen and North Qilian Orogen, which could provide great insights into the amalgamation processes between the northern and southern blocks of China as mentioned in this paper .

Petrogenesis of mafic‐intermediate dykes from the Central Qilian belt, NW China: Significance of the role of subducted compositions in sub‐arc mantle

TL;DR: In this article , the geochemical properties of mafic intermediate dykes in the Central Qilian belt (WCQB) were investigated. And the temporal evolution of geochemical characteristics of these dykes is consistent with an extension setting triggered by removing the thickened arc crust root in the WCQB.

Late Ordovician High Ba-Sr Intrusion in the Eastern North Qilian Orogen: Implications for Crust–Mantle Interaction and Proto-Tethys Ocean Evolution

TL;DR: In this paper , a combination of zircon U-Pb age, whole-rock major and trace element concentrations, and Sr-Nd-Hf isotopic data for Caowa high Ba-Sr dioritic intrusion from the eastern part of the North Qilian orogenic belt is presented, aiming to decipher its petrogenesis and tectonic setting.

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.
