An Ordovician ophiolitic complex in West Junggar, NW China: Implications for subduction initiation and oceanic arc evolution of the Paleo-Asian Ocean
Gondwana Research（2022）
Abstract
•A complete subduction initiation record exposed in the ophiolitic complex.•The ocean spreading reached a peak age during the Cambrian–Early Ordovician.•The SW Paleo-Asian Ocean started to subduct in the Early Ordovician.•Slab-derived sediments have a significant contribution to oceanic arc evolution.
