km or India-Asia convergence within the Pamir is more than 600. km, significant loss of continental crust must have occurred by subhorizontal extrusion, erosion, or recycling into the mantle. Crustal recycling is the most likely, based on deep seismicity and Miocene deep crustal xenoliths. ...
Tibetan Cenozoic syn-collisional potassic–ultrapotassic igneous rocks provide unique insights into the processes and origins of metasomatism in the upper mantle, as well as continental subduction and plateau uplift. Crustal recycling in the magma source of the Tibetan potassic–ultrapotassic rocks has bee...

To test these hypotheses, depth–tectonic affinity relations of crustal xenoliths carried by Miocene volcanic rocks in the eastern Pamir, interpreted to be sourced from the Pamir deep lithosphere, are used to determine whether they represented Asian affinity cratonic crust. Thermodynamic calculations, ...
