This Ph.D. thesis attempts to decipher the closure of the
Palaeozoic Palaeo-Asian Ocean along the enigmatic Solonker Suture
in East Asia adopting a methodology that integrates geochemical and
geochronological data from Palaeozoic sedimentary and volcanic
rocks in the region. It provides an in-detail but also broad
insight into the Palaeozoic to early Mesozoic tectonic evolution of
the region, not only pin-pointing the debated location of the
Solonker Suture but also the timing of final disappearance of the
Palaeo-Asian Ocean during Permian to Early Triassic times. The
results have led to propose a tectonic 'soft-collision' model for
the amalgamation of the North China Craton and the Mongolian
Terranes in northern Asia explaining the general absence of
geologic features characteristic for continent-continent collisions
such as the occurrence of regional-scale high-grade metamorphic
rocks, ophiolite belts and fold-thrust structures. This new model
may serve as a blueprint for the tectonic evolution of similar
suture zones that are characterized by the absence of typical
collision related lithologies and structures. The thesis is
particularly useful as a guide for researchers who seek an in-depth
understanding of the Palaeozoic to early Mesozoic tectonic
evolution of northern China and Central Asia along the Solonker
Suture.
