Geochronological and geochemical investigation of the magmatic and sedimentary rocks
from the south-eastern tip of the Bayankhongor Zone (central Mongolia) constrains the …

Abstract The Olkhon Terrane is thought to preserve a record of the initial collision of the
Siberian Craton with its peripheral orogenic system during the early Paleozoic. However, the …

Abstract 3D forward gravity modeling combined with receiver function (RF) analysis
characterizes the crustal structures of the southern part of the Mongolian collage. The …

Abstract In the Altai Accretionary Wedge, several periods of Barrovian‐and Buchan‐type
metamorphic cycles were dated from Ordovician to Permian. However, the timing and link …

Geochronological and geochemical study of the Neoproterozoic–early Paleozoic magmatic
record was carried out in two sections of the Zavkhan Block, one of the largest continental …

Abstract The Mongolian Altai Zone of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt has been traditionally
interpreted as a mosaic of Paleozoic magmatic arcs, back‐arcs, and Precambrian …

Recent studies revealed that the Chinese Altai may have experienced two major
tectonothermal events in the Devonian and Permian but their mutual relationships remain …

This study presents results of provenance analysis based on U–Pb ages and Hf isotopic
composition of detrital zircons from (meta-) sedimentary rocks of two sections of the Zavkhan …

A big mantle wedge (BMW) is defined as the broad region of upper mantle above a stagnant
slab in the mantle transition zone (MTZ). It is a common and significant structure within …

In the Mongolian Collage, metamorphic pressure–temperature (P–T) and timing reveal a
one-stage evolution defined by a duality of late Neoproterozoic–Ordovician subduction …
