Abstract
null null The Sm/Nd isochron mineral dating technique, applied on lenses of ophiolitic rocks of the Song Ma suture zone, reveals crystallization ages of 387–313 Ma for titanites extracted from the mafic components (metagabbros, metabasalts) of the ophiolite suite. These ages correspond to a large time interval within the Carboniferous period. Such results mean that these blocks are lithospheric relics of an eastern branch of the Paleotethys....
