DOI: 10.1007/s00531-017-1487-4
Abstract: When and how the Bangong–Nujiang Tethyan Ocean closed is a highly controversial subject. In this paper, we present a detailed study and review of the Cretaceous ophiolites, ocean islands, and flysch deposits in the middle… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.earscirev.2019.102907
Abstract: Abstract Reconstructing the evolution of the Bangong-Nujiang Tethyan Ocean (BNTO) plays an indispensable role in understanding the linkage between Gondwana dispersion and Tibetan Plateau accretion. The existence of the BNTO is inferred from presence of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.gr.2019.01.019
Abstract: Abstract The Bangong-Nujiang suture zone (BNSZ) separates the Lhasa terrane from the Qiangtang terrane and contains remnants of the Bangong-Nujiang oceanic lithosphere (ophiolites). Despite decades of research, when and how the Bangong-Nujiang ophiolites were emplaced… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.gsf.2021.101207
Abstract: Abstract One of most hotly debated topics concerning the Late Mesozoic evolution of Tethyan and the Tibetan Plateau is the timing of the closure of the Meso-Tethys ocean, which is represented by the Bangong–Nujiang suture… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2017tc004842
Abstract: To constrain the relationship between the Qiangtang and Lhasa terranes and the evolution of the Bangong‐Nujiang Ocean (BNO), we carried out a paleomagnetic investigation of the Middle Jurassic limestone from the Shuanghu region in the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2019gl086650
Abstract: The timing of Bangong‐Nujiang suture ophiolite obduction between the Lhasa and Qiangtang terranes in central Tibet is important for understanding the closure history of the Meso‐Tethys but remains poorly constrained. We investigated subaerial to shallow… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-98257-5
Abstract: The Bangong-Nujiang Suture Zone (BNSZ) of Tibet (Xizang) has been interpreted to represent a relic of the Bangong-Nujiang Ocean. However, the existence of this ocean during Triassic time remains a point of contention. A sedimentary… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/00206814.2019.1697859
Abstract: ABSTRACT The Bangong–Nujiang Suture Zone (BNSZ), located in the central Tibetan Plateau, experienced a Late Mesozoic transition from oceanic closure to continent–continent collision. Based on sandstone-composition analyses, U-Pb detrital-zircon dating and structural observations, we determined… read more here.
