The Tarim Craton, located in the center of Asia, was involved assembly and breakup Rodinia supercontinent during Neoproterozoic subduction-accretion Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB) Paleozoic. However, its tectonic evolution these events is controversial, a link between Paleozoic processes missing. Here we present zircon U-Pb ages, Hf isotopes, whole-rock geochemical data for extensive granitoids western Kuruktag area, northeastern Craton. Three distinct periods granitoid magmatism are...
Newly discovered remnants of Earth’s oldest continental crust are linked to plate tectonics 3.7 billion years ago.
Long-lived exterior accretionary orogeny shapes tectonothermal evolution of the peripheral building blocks supercontinents and leads to considerable crustal growth. However, such has only been locally recognized for Rodinia supercontinent. Here a suite newly discovered mid-Neoproterozoic high-grade metamorphic rocks in northern Tarim Craton, NW China, are used test accretion hypothesis Rodinia. These occur as dark-colored mafic calc-silicate boudins impure marbles mica schists. Geochemical...

Early Paleozoic arc magmas are prominent along the northern margin of Tarim–North China collage in Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB), yet their petrogenesis and tectonic implications remain unclear. This study focuses on mafic rocks from Kalatashtagh area, NW China, revealing that they formed between 450–420 Ma. Whole-rock compositions resemble high-Al basalts. Slab traces document approximately 5% slab-derived sediment melt contributing to a depleted mantle source....
Abstract Stable craton lithosphere can undergo complex tectonic events at its margins due to peripheral activity. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of zircon U‐Pb dating, apatite and fission‐track thermochronology on the Aktash Tagh in southeastern margin Tarim Craton. The obtained ages range from ∼219 Ma ∼104 Ma, while span ∼1,400 ∼100 Ma. double dating 261 grains ∼3.6 Ga ∼1.9 Ga. complexity our is attributed presence both high‐retentive zircons low‐retentive zircons....
Spatiotemporal distribution of magmatism in continental arcs is generally accompanied by compositional change igneous rocks. However, it remains unclear whether and how the variation footprint geochemical affinities fossil magmatic are effective for reconstructing subduction polarity. In this study, new geochronological, mineralogical, geochemical, Sr-Nd-Hf isotope data presented to characterize Early Cretaceous (ca. 130−110 Ma) bimodal volcanic rocks Zenong Group central Lhasa, Tibet. Our...
Abstract Crystal geometries and boundary conditions significantly influence garnet diffusion chronometry results, yet they are frequently overlooked pose challenges in the resolution of equation under these complexities. To address challenges, we introduced Finite Element Method (FEM). We elucidated method's rationale, from derivation weak form to formulation global linear system. then evaluated accuracy against exact solution, revealing a relative error ±3–4‰ specified settings, which is an...
The Songliao Basin, the largest oil-producing basin in China, was centre of late Mesozoic rifting and lithospheric thinning northeastern China. However, rifts are still poorly revealed due to a thick cover subsidence successions. By structural interpretation sequential restoration cross-sections based on new 2D seismic data well data, this study presents style, evolution, horizontal crustal extension central Basin. We have developed novel method retrieve regional principal strains. results...
The structural styles of the East China Sea Shelf Basin are described based on interpretation seismic profiles. basin is divided into West and Rift regions. It has undergone four phases compressive inversions during late Palaeocene Oujiang Event, Eocene Yuquan early Miocene Huagang latest Longjing Event. Structural have superimposed Cenozoic extensional rift these compression events, forming regional unconformity reflectors (T4°, T3°, T2°, T1°). Changjiang Depression located in north Region...
