The Upper Triassic deposits of the west Bangong-Nujiang suture zone and their paleogeographic implications
Abstract The Bangong-Nujiang Suture Zone (BNSZ) of Tibet (Xizang) has been interpreted to represent a relic of the Bangong-Nujiang Ocean. However, the existence of this ocean during Triassic time remains a point of contention. A sedimentary succession spanning the Upper Permian through Triassic desc...
