Geochemistry, geochronology and Hf isotope of granitoids in the northern Alxa region: Implications for the Late Paleozoic tectonic evolution of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt

The tectonic setting of the northern Alxa region during the Late Paleozoic is highly controversial. The key to resolve this controversy is to recognize the Late Paleozoic magmatic processes in the northern Alxa. In this paper, we present new zircon U–Pb ages, Hf-isotopic compositions and whole-rock...
