Paleogeographic reconstruction of Precambrian terranes reworked by Phanerozoic orogens (e.g., the Tibetan Plateau) results in complex lithotectonic relations due to intracrustal reworking by tectonothermal events. Detrital zircon rare earth element (REE) databases at global (global major river sands...
