The burial and exhumation history of the Liuqu Conglomerate in the Yarlung Zangbo suture zone, southern Tibet: Insights from clumped isotope thermometry

The Liuqu Conglomerate, exposed along the Yarlung Zangbo suture zone (YZSZ) in southern Tibet, archives not only the process of the India-Asia collision, but also the exhumation history of the India-Asia collision zone. The burial and exhumation history of the Liuqu Conglomerate thus could potentially provide clues to the India-Asia collision and orogeny. Low-temperature thermochronometric data indicate that maximum burial temperatures of the...
