Paleomagnetic constraints on the paleolatitude of the Lhasa block during the Early Cretaceous: Implications for the onset of India-Asia collision and latitudinal shortening estimates across Tibet and stable Asia
The Lhasa block was located at 13.1 ± 2.7°N during the Early Cretaceous. Initial contact between India and Asia occurred at ca. 59.3 Ma. 1450 ± 400 km of latitudinal shortening has been distributed across Tibet and Asia.
