Paleozoic multi-stage magmatism in the Yuka terrane, North Qaidam orogenic belt: mantle modification, tectonic evolution, and geodynamic processes by Yibin Lin, Chengtao Yu, Shuyuan Chen, Sudong Shi, Sangjiancuo Luo, Junaid Khan

“…However, less comprehensive studies of Paleozoic mafic rocks have led to a limited understanding of the subcontinental lithospheric mantle, geodynamic settings, and tectonic transitions. In this paper, a comprehensive study of mafic-intermediate rocks from the Yuka Terrane in the NQOB suggests that zircon U-Pb dating yielded ages of 471 ± 3 Ma and 438 ± 3 Ma, respectively. …”
