“…As a demonstrated powerful technique, paleomagnetic study in these regions has played a very important role in the study of greater India, paleoposition of the Lhasa block, and crustal shortening of the Himalayan areas during the early Cenozoic Besse et al, 1984;Lin and Watts, 1988;Otofuji et al, 1991;Patzelt et al, 1996). However, hot debate still exists concerning the northern extent of the Indian craton.…”

“…It is very unlikely that the Tibetan blocks experienced appreciable northward convergence relative to Eurasia before onset of collision. Paleocene paleomagnetic results from the Linzizong volcanic rocks of the Lhasa block Otofuji et al, 1991) and coeval volcanic rocks in southwest Tianshan (Huang et al, 2005) (Table 4) give a key constraint on the paleoposition of southern Eurasia during the early Paleocene (Fig. 10).…”

“…In fact, the authors are currently undertaking a paleomagnetically focused research program to address this issue. Only the studies by Achache et al [1984] and Otofuji et al [1991] appear reliable, satisfying several of the key acceptance criteria proposed by Van der Voo [1990] and being listed on the global paleomagnetic database (http://www.ngu.no/dragon/Palmag/paleomag.htm). Other works have been published [ Westphal et al , 1983; Otofuji et al , 1989; Zhou et al , 1990; Dong et al , 1991] but cannot be reliably used for plate modeling.…”

“…Eliminating site 47 from the mean calculation, similar to Achache et al [1984], generates a reverse polarity tilt‐corrected mean direction of D = 176.5°, I = −28.5°, α 95 = 10.2°, k = 44.0, the inclination angle suggesting a formation latitude ∼15°N. The study by Otofuji et al [1991] focused on the 42 Ma Quxu pluton, which was sampled at nine sites on the Lhasa‐Quxu road ∼40 km SW of Lhasa. A single site, WT31, was also sampled from the Linzizhong volcanics.…”

“…Xu et al 1987) is probably responsible for a large counter-clockwise rotation. This phenomenon can be compared with a 50 km zone across the Indus-Zangbo Suture, where a collision between India and Asia has resulted in more than 80 • counter-clockwise rotation (Pozzi et al 1984;Otofuji et al 1989Otofuji et al , 1991. Adjacent regions on both side of the collisional boundary (intercontinental scale) provide a mechanical buffer zone, where tectonic related stresses can possibly be developed.…”
