TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed that the Yeruda and Teya granites were formed as a result of collisional-accretional processes on the western margin of the Siberian craton during the Neoproterozoic.

TL;DR: In this article, Dazhuqu terrane ophiolites were generated in an intra-oceanic supra-subduction zone setting within a relatively short time interval.
Abstract: Well-preserved, abundant radiolarians provide high-precision biostratigraphic age constraints on the timing of the eruption of ophiolitic basalts exposed along the Yarlung–Tsangpo suture zone in southern Tibet. Dazhuqu terrane ophiolites were generated in an intra-oceanic supra-subduction zone setting within a relatively short (

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present petrography, geochemistry, zircon U-Pb geochronology and Lu-Hf isotopes of twelve gneissic granitoids from the Archean Kongling Terrane, including trondhjemites, biotite-granites, and two-mica granites.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that thermal subsidence can promote high geothermal gradient (>40°C/km) metamorphism in the mid-upper crust without inducing significant melting in the lower crust, providing the basement heat production contributes > ∼70 mW m−2 to the surface heat flow.
