Nd isotopic composition of Late Devonian seawater in western Thailand: Geotectonic implications for the origin of the Sibumasu terrane

Late Devonian sedimentary record of the Paleotethys Ocean – The Mae Sariang section, northwestern Thailand

“…The sedimentological record does not show fundamental changes, which may be a result of this deep water facies setting. Based on the data presented in this paper and the neodymium isotopic composition of Late Devonian seawater at Mae Sariang (Dopieralska et al, 2012) a palaeogeographic position of the site as a part of the oceanic Inthanon Zone is likely which is in agreement with recent interpretations by Metcalfe (2009Metcalfe ( , 2011.…”

The closure of Palaeo-Tethys in Eastern Myanmar and Northern Thailand: New insights from zircon U–Pb and Hf isotope data

“…Some authors in their definition of the Inthanon Zone stop the foreland belt at the Mae Yuam Fault (e.g., Ueno, 1999;Hara et al, 2013). This is probably more coincidence than reality, and reflects the difficult terrane west of the fault, as exemplified through studies by Konigshof et al (2012) and Dopieralska et al (2012), which appear to confirm that Palaeo-Tethyian ocean floor deposits can be found west of the Mae Yuam Fault.…”
