Ophiolites in the Central Asian Orogenic Belt record Cambrian subduction initiation processes
Abstract Subduction initiation remains elusive because no present example exists. Ophiolites formed over nascent subduction zones in the past provide the key to constraining the processes of subduction initiation. Here we document three Cambrian ophiolites with supra-subduction zone affinity, which...
