Switching from advancing to retreating subduction in the Neoproterozoic Tarim Craton, NW China: Implications for Rodinia breakup

Switching from advancing to retreating subduction in the Neoproterozoic Tarim Craton, NW China: Implications for Rodinia breakup

Geodynamic drivers for the supercontinent cycle are generally attributed to either top-down (subduction-related) or bottom-up (mantle-related) processes. Compiled geochemical data and U–Pb ages and Hf isotopic signatures for magmatic and detrital zircons from the Tarim Craton reveal a distinct chang...
