Formation of the Xigaze Metamorphic Sole under the Tibetan continental margin reveals generic characteristics of the subduction initiation process
2023-03-07
Abstract excerpt
Metamorphic soles found under allochthonous oceanic lithosphere, or ophiolites, are derived from the earliest lower plate oceanic crust accreted to upper plate mantle and are considered diagnostic of intraoceanic subduction initiation. Their metamorphic evolution is inferred to reflect the thermal structure at the site of subduction nucleation, with granulite-bearing soles linked to initiation at hot spreading cen...
