Triassic Terminal Magmatism in the Southern Central Asian Orogenic Belt: Implications for Ocean Closure in Accretionary Orogens

Year: 2017

Type: article

Abstract: The key to defining the termination of accretion in an accretionary orogen is to recognize the initial magmatic processes that are generated at the time of ocean closure. We present new age, geochemical and isotopic data for magmatic rocks related to terminal collision along the Solonker-Xar Moron suture zone in the southern Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB) that record such processes following closure of the PaleoAsian Ocean (Figure).
