The Late Carboniferous to Early Permian tectonic evolution of the South West Junggar (SWJ), northwest China, a crucial constituent in the southwestern domain of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB), has long been the subject of debate. Here, detailed petrographic studies, new nine LA-ICP-MS zircon...
