Structure and evolution of the Himalaya–Tibet orogenic belt
- C. Allègre, V. Courtillot, +32 authors Rong-Hua Xu
- Geology
- Nature
- 1984
The 1981 French–Chinese expedition to Tibet focused on the Lhasa block, extending earlier coverage 400 km north of the Tsangpo suture. The Lhasa block stood between 10 and 15° N latitude over most of… Expand
Tethyan margins in space and time
- G. Stampfli, J. Marcoux, A. Baud
- Geology

Abstract Rifting processes, leading to sea-floor spreading, are characterized by a sequence of events: transtensive phase of extension with syn-rift volcanism; simple shear extension accompanied by… Expand
The Xigaze ophiolite (Tibet): a peculiar oceanic lithosphere
- A. Nicolas, J. Girardeau, +5 authors Xiao Xuchang
- Geology

- 1 December 1981
The Xigaze ophiolite which outcrops along the Yarlung Zangbo river, southern Tibet, locally displays a complete ophiolitic sequence from marine sedimentary cover over basaltic volcanics to the north,… Expand
Tectonic environment and geodynamic significance of the Neo-Cimmerian Donqiao ophiolite, Bangong-Nujiang suture zone, Tibet
- J. Girardeau, J. Marcoux, +5 authors Wang Xi-bin
- Geology
- Nature

The Bangong-Nujiang suture zone is underlain by a discontinuous and roughly EW ophiolite belt. Around Donqiao–Gyanco, ophiolitic and metasedimentary Palaeozoic series form nappes thrusted over… Expand
New constraints on the End-Triassic (Upper Norian–Rhaetian) magnetostratigraphy
- Y. Gallet, L. Krystyn, J. Marcoux, J. Besse
- Geology
- 30 March 2007
Abstract The end-Triassic was marked by one of the five important Phanerozoic global mass extinctions. The construction of a detailed magnetic polarity time scale for this period, that would… Expand
Integrated Upper Carnian to Lower Norian biochronology and implications for the Upper Triassic magnetic polarity time scale
- L. Krystyn, Y. Gallet, J. Besse, J. Marcoux
- Geology
