Rejuvenation of ancient micro-continents during accretionary orogenesis: Insights from the Yili Block and adjacent regions of the SW Central Asian Orogenic Belt
Abstract In the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB), whether substantial juvenile additions
associated with accretionary orogenesis are preserved is still a pending issue. The Yili Block …
