Geochemistry and detrital zircon geochronology of the Bagong Formation clastic rocks in the Queerchaka area, central part of the Qiangtang Basin: evidence for the Late Triassic chemical weathering and tectonic evolution

Late Triassic was not only a key episode for the evolution of the Qiangtang Basin but also a critical interval marking the final closure of the Paleo-Tethys Ocean on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau. However, the nature of the Late Triassic Qiangtang Basin and its response to the evolution of the Paleo-Tethys Ocean remain unc...
