Abstract: Early Carboniferous sedimentary rocks were distributed in various landmasses or microlandmasses and suture zones in the northeastern Tibet. The section of black mudstones of the lower Carboniferous Bangda Formation was found at Kaqiong microlandmasses of… 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: 10.1029/2019gl086650
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.
