A general negative correlation between them suggests the reworking of old supracrustal materials (average crustal residence age of ca. 2.0Ga) by juvenile mantle-derived magmas. The progression of increasing εHf(t) and decreasing δ¹⁸O values of zircons from the Triassic to the Cretaceous suggests progressive crustal growth during the Mesozoic. The results are consistent with hybridization at an active continental margin. We briefly review tectonic models for the Indosinian orogeny and suggest that the petrologic evidence indicates that Mesozoic magmatism was part of the circum-Pacific accretionary orogens that formed along the continental margin of East Asia no later than ca. 250Ma and continued at least to the late Cretaceous.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:40:16 AEDT ]]> Depositional age and provenance of the Cobar Supergroup https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:37080 Fri 14 Aug 2020 14:20:49 AEST ]]>
