“…310 Ma, with representative examples of the Suoerbulake (281 ± 4 Ma), Bukesala (277 ± 2 Ma), and Lamazhao (276 ± 9 Ma) granites (Long et al, 2007;Yuan et al, 2007;Sun et al, 2008;Cai et al, 2011aCai et al, , 2011bCai et al, , 2012Wang et al, 2006). As argued by studies on the ultrahigh-temperature (UHT) granulite-facies rocks in the Altai orogenic belt, there should be a counterclockwise pressure-temperature path, suggesting a depression and cooling event at 280-277 Ma associated with underplating and heating of mantle-derived magma in an extensional tectonic setting (Li et al, 2014;Tong et al, 2014). Therefore, subduction-related magmatism in the Altai orogenic belt possibly shifted to postcollisional magmatism during the late Carboniferous and Early Permian (Long et al, 2007;Yuan et al, 2007;Sun et al, 2008;Cai et al, 2011aCai et al, , 2011bCai et al, , 2012Zhu et al, 2006;Lv et al, 2012).…”
