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:

Gondwana dispersion and Asian accretion: Tectonic and palaeogeographic evolution of eastern Tethys
Ian Metcalfe,Ian Metcalfe +1 more
TL;DR: The Phanerozoic evolution of the region is the result of more than 400 million years of continental dispersion from Gondwana and plate tectonic convergence, collision and accretion as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Introduction to tectonics of China
TL;DR: In the last three decades, extensive geological, geochemical and geophysical investigations have been carried out on these cratonic blocks and intervening orogenic belts, producing an abundant amount of new data and competing interpretations.

Geological reconstructions of the East Asian blocks: From the breakup of Rodinia to the assembly of Pangea
Guochun Zhao,Guochun Zhao,Yuejun Wang,Baochun Huang,Yunpeng Dong,Sanzhong Li,Guowei Zhang,Shan Yu +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors carried out geological and paleomagnetic investigations on East Asian blocks and associated orogenic belts, supported by a NSFC Major Program entitled “Reconstructions of East Asian Blocks in Pangea”.

Plate tectonics in the late Paleozoic
Mathew Domeier,Trond H. Torsvik +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a model for the late Paleozoic (410-250 million years ago) is presented, together with a review of the underlying data, which can be used for numerical mantle modeling, and serve as a general framework for understanding late paleozoic tectonics.

Closure of the Proto-Tethys Ocean and Early Paleozoic amalgamation of microcontinental blocks in East Asia
Sanzhong Li,Shujuan Zhao,Xin Liu,Huahua Cao,Shan Yu,Xiyao Li,Ian D. Somerville,Shengyao Yu,Yanhui Suo +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the Proto-Tethys Ocean is defined as a complex complex paleo-ocean located between the Tarim-North China and the Sibumasu/Baoshan blocks, and it was opened from the rifting of the Supercontinent Rodinia and mainly closed at the end of the Early Paleozoic.

Lawsonite-bearing eclogites in the north Qilian and north Altyn Tagh： Evidence for cold subduction of oceanic crust
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a lawsonite eclogite-phengite-mphacite-garnet for cold-subduction subduction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rheological Properties of Mantle Peridotites at Yushigou in the North Qilian Mountains and Their Implications for Plate Dynamics
Song Shuguang,Su Li +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the deformation textures, petrofabrics and olivine dislocation microstructures of mantle peridotites at Yushigou in the North Qilian Mountains, northwestern China were discussed.
Journal Article
The distribution of time and space of Chinese ophiolites, and their tectonic settings.
TL;DR: Ophiolites are widely distributed in China, particularly in the western, southwestern and northern parts of the country, and rarely in the middle and south parts as mentioned in this paper, and fall into four principal age groups: PrQterozoic, early Paleozoic and Mesozoic-Cenozoic.

Characteristics and tectonic environment of Zhigoumen pluton in Longshoushan area
TL;DR: The Zhigoumen pluton as discussed by the authors is a post-collision granite type, formed after the collision stage of the Qinling Fold Belt and belongs to postcollision granites of the Lachlan Fold Belt.
