Abstract: Abstract The Late Neoproterozoic Dahongliutan BIF is associated with siliciclastic rocks in the Tianshuihai terrane of the Western Kunlun orogenic belt (WKO), NW China. The sedimentary rocks have various weathering indices (e.g., CIA = 57–87, PIA = 61–96 and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2019tc005932
Abstract: Uplift of the western Kunlun range results from the Indian indentation into Eurasia and induced underthrusting of the Tarim lithosphere. This underthrusting keeps pace with migration of the western Kunlun foreland basin. The basin‐scale sequences… read more here.
