“…The Southwest Tianshan Orogenic Belt is composed mainly of Cambrian-Carboniferous marine carbonates, clastic rocks, cherts and interlayered volcanics, ophiolite mélange, Mesozoic-Cenozoic continental clastic rocks, and Hercynian intrusive rocks (Allen et al, 1992;Carroll et al, 1995;Chen et al, 2002;Zhang et al, 2005;Gao Jun et al, 2006Xiao et al, 2013;Jiang et al, 2014;Han et al, 2015;Klemd et al, 2015;Gou et al, 2016). The Silurian-Carboniferous marine sedimentary (i.e., Late Devonian-Early Carboniferous thick carbonate platforms) and volcanic rocks constitute the main part of the strata in the Southwest Tianshan Orogenic Belt (Gao et al, 1995(Gao et al, , 1998Xiao et al, 2013;Brunet et al, 2017). A HP-UHP metamorphic belt, composed of eclogites, blueschists and greenschists, is exposed along the northernmost of the Southwest Tianshan Orogenic Belt (Gao, 1997;Gao et al, 2000Gao et al, , 2011Li et al, 2016).…”
