“…The Tibetan–Himalayan Plateau formed by successive accretion, from north to south, of the Qaidam, Songpan–Ganzi, Qiangtang, Lhasa, and Indian blocks to the southernmost margin of the Eurasian continent (Figure a). These blocks are separated by the Jinsha Suture Zone (JSZ), Bangong–Nujiang Suture Zone (BNSZ), and Indus–Yarlung Zangbo Suture Zone (IYZSZ), representing Paleo‐, Meso‐, and Neo‐Tethyan oceanic relicts, respectively (Figure a; Li et al, ; Metcalfe, ; Pan et al, ; Yin & Harrison, ; Zhang et al, ; Zhang et al, ; Zhang, Li, Yan, et al, ; Zhang, Zhang, Tang, & Xia, ; Zhu et al, , ; Zhu, Wang, Cawood, Zhao, & Mo, ). The Lhasa Terrane in southern Tibet is the continental block last accreted to Eurasia in the Cretaceous (Zhang, , ; Zhang, Xia, Wang, Li, & Ye, ; Zhang, Zhang, Li, & Zhong, ; Zhang, Zhang, et al, ) before its collision with the northern drifting Indian continent in the Early Cenozoic (Hu et al, ; Zhu et al, ) and marked by large amounts of magmatism, which was named Gandese magmatic arc (Figure b; Huang, Xu, Chen, et al, ; Huang, Xu, et al, ; Pan et al, ; Zhang, , ; Zhang et al, , ; Zhang, Zhang, et al, ; Zhu et al, ; and references therein) and was divided into southern, central, and northern subterranes (SL, CL, and NL) by the Luobadui‐Milashan Fault (LMF) and Shiquan River‐Nam Tso Mélange Zone (SNMZ), respectively (Figure b; Li et al, ; Zhu et al, ).…”
