This introduction outlines the papers collected in the special issue “Evolution and
metallogeny of the Sanjiang arc-back arc basin system in the Eastern Tethys.” The papers …

The progressive indentation of India into Eurasia generated an E‐W‐trending orthogonal
collision belt and a N‐S‐trending oblique collision belt. Compiling available data reveals …

Melts and fluids derived from subducting/subducted oceanic lithosphere contribute
significantly to mantle compositional heterogeneity. Historically metasomatized lithospheric …

The origin of intermediate to felsic potassic magmas is debated, and not much is known
about the volatile content of potassic magmas associated with porphyry Cu (Au, Mo) …

Abstract We re‐evaluate 357 Jurassic‐Holocene paleomagnetic datasets from Tibet‐
Indochina and compare them with present‐day Global Position System velocity field. SE …

When and how the TP underwent uplift and deformation are still under heated debate. We
present paleomagnetic evidence for the NB in the northeastern central TP to help decipher …

The recent discovery of large Cenozoic porphyry copper deposits in the Tibetan Plateau has
revealed atypical features. Their formation all postdate the India-Asia collision at 55±10 Ma …

Post‐collisional potassic‐ultrapotassic rocks can provide key clues to the change of the
recycled material type and/or tectonic transition in subduction‐related zones. Despite …

Collision‐related porphyry Cu deposits (PCDs) are restricted to previous magmatic arcs, in
which sulfide‐rich lower crust occurred. Fertile adakite‐like porphyries associated with …

Eocene potassic magmatic rocks are abundantly developed in the Jinshajiang–Ailaoshan
tectono-magmatic belt that stretches from eastern Tibet over western Yunnan to Vietnam …
