Abstract: Abstract Termination of the eastward subduction of the Indian Plate is inferred to be latest Eocene in age in the north-easternmost Assam and Myanmar regions, followed by the collision of the Indian continent with the… read more here.

Abstract: Freshwater mussels cannot spread through oceanic barriers and represent a suitable model to test the continental drift patterns. Here, we reconstruct the diversification of Oriental freshwater mussels (Unionidae) and revise their taxonomy. We show that… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/nsr/nwac074
Abstract: Abstract The India–Asia collision zone is the archetype to calibrate geological responses to continent–continent collision, but hosts a paradox: there is no orogen-wide geological record of oceanic subduction after initial collision around 60–55 Ma, yet… read more here.
