Despite their great geological significance, very few investigations have been carried out in the Kunlun region. The Central East Kunlun fault zone was believed to be an Early Paleozoic suture zone, but there has been no reliable evidence for this, though studies on ophiolite, granite, and basic granulite indicate that the Early Paleozoic orogeny occurred in the East Kunlun. This work focused on the Dagele eclogites in Central East Kunlun to provide new constraints for the Central East Kunlun suture zone.展开更多

It consists mainly of mafic and ultramafic rocks. These rocks are very important to understand the evolution of the Paleo-Tethyan Ocean. However, the Babu ophiolite is still disputed and the mafic and ultramafic rocks have been inferred to be part of the Emeishan large igneous province （LIP） by some researchers. In this paper, we present zircon U-Pb data on the metabasalts in Malipo to reveal the formation time of mafic and ultramafic rocks and their tectonic nature.展开更多
