Permian tectonic switch of the southern Central Asian Orogenic Belt: Constraints from magmatism in the southern Alxa region, NW China

Late Paleozoic plutons are widely distributed in the Alxa region, southernmost Central Asian Orogenic Belt, and provided an important clue in constraint for the closing time of the Paleo-Asian Ocean (PAO). In this article, we present new zircon U-Pb ages and whole-rock geochemical data from the Perm...
