Geochronological, geochemical, and Sr-Nd-Hf isotopic characteristics of granitoids in eastern Tibet and implications for tectonic correlation with southeastern Asia

Understanding the configuration of continental blocks within the Tibetan orogen prior to Indo-Asian collision is vital to determining their accretionary history. However, complex tectonic overprinting, including the development of the eastern and western Himalayan syntaxes, has hampered the investigation of correlations between tectonic blocks in the Tibetan Plateau with those in southeastern Asia. The North Lancangjiang tectonic belt is known...
