Prolonged Late Mesoproterozoic to Late Triassic Tectonic Evolution of the Major Paleo-Asian Ocean in the Beishan Orogen (NW China) in the Southern Altaids

Prolonged Late Mesoproterozoic to Late Triassic Tectonic Evolution of the Major Paleo-Asian Ocean in the Beishan Orogen (NW China) in the Southern Altaids

The accretionary processes and the continental growth of the Altaids are still controversial. The Beishan orogen is situated in the southernmost Altaids and is an ideal tectonic site to address these issues. In this study, we report the results of new field-based lithological mapping and structural...
