The Cretaceous marine sedimentary record is characterized by time intervals rich in organic matter correlating with positive carbon isotope excursions, often called oceanic anoxic events. Weissert Event corresponds to the first such event during Valanginian stage. associated palaeoenvironmental perturbations, which include increasing surface water primary productivity, are hypothesized have bee...

In the southern Tibetan plateau, which is considered to be the ongoing India–Eurasia continental collision zone, tracing of the Indian crustal front beneath Tibet is still controversial. We conducted deep subsurface electrical modeling in southern Tibet and discuss the geometry of the front of the Indian crust. Three areas along the Yarlung-Zangbo river zone for which previous magnetotelluric (...

Abstract The Longshou Shan of western China is the northern backstop Cenozoic Himalayan-Tibetan orogen and occupies a key linkage between Tarim continent North craton which separate pre-Cenozoic Tethyan orogenic system Central Asian system. Therefore, Paleoproterozoic–Paleozoic evolution this region critical to understanding extent overprinting deformation, construction Eurasian continent, rela...

Triassic eclogite and blueschist facies rocks occur as a thrust sheet, 25-km long and over 2-km thick, in an Eocene fold-andthrust belt in northwest Turkey along the İzmir–Ankara suture. The thrust sheet consists mainly of metabasites with minor marble, phyllite and metachert, and rare lenses of serpentinite. The common blueschist facies mineral assemblage in the metabasites is sodic amphibole ...
