The Chinese Mars rover Zhurong successfully landed in southern Utopia Planitia on Mars in May 2021. Previous research suggested a Hesperian ocean may have existed in the northern lowland on Mars. Recent research observed water-related features at the Zhurong landing site from in situ data. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive geomorphological analysis of the landing area using remote sensing data, supplemented by in situ observations, and unveiled features consistent with the existence of a nearshore zone in southern Utopia. Different types of water-related geomorphological features were separated by specific topographic contours, suggesting different types of marine environments. The area was subdivided into a foreshore highland-lowland transition unit, a shallow marine unit and a deep marine unit. In situ observations including sedimentary deposit rocks, water-related lamination features, and subsurface sedimentary layers, also indicate past water activities. Results suggested an evolution scenario of the nearshore zone in southern Utopia: (1) Flooding of the Utopia Planitia in Late Noachian around 3.65-3.68 Ga reached the foreshore unit; (2) formation of the shallow and deep marine units after the flooding was completed by about 3.5 Ga and 3.42 Ga in Early Hesperian, respectively; (3) gradual loss of subsurface volatiles during the Amazonian epoch.
The Central Asian Orogenic Belt is the world's largest accretionary orogenic belt, associated with the closure of the Paleo-Asian Ocean (PAO). However, the final closure timing of the eastern PAO remains contentious. The Permian-Triassic sedimentary sequences in the Wangqing area along the Changchun-Yanji suture zone offer important clues into this final closure. New data on petrology, whole-rock geochemistry, zircon U-Pb geochronology and zircon Hf isotopes of sedimentary rocks from the Miaoling Formation and Kedao Group in Wangqing area provide new insights into the final closure of the eastern end of the PAO. The maximum deposition ages of the Miaoling Formation and Kedao Group have been constrained to the Late Permian (ca. 253 Ma) and early Middle Triassic (ca. 243 Ma), respectively. These sedimentary rocks exhibit similar geochemical characteristics, showing low textural and compositional maturities, implying short sediment transport, with all detrital zircons suggesting their origins from felsic igneous rocks. The epsilon Hf(t) values of the Miaoling Formation range from -6.09 to 12.43 and from -2.20 to 7.59 for the Kedao Group, implying these rocks originated from NE China. Considering our new data along with previously published data, we propose that a reduced remnant ocean remained along the Changchun-Yanji suture zone in the early Middle Triassic (ca. 243 Ma), suggesting the final closure of the eastern PAO likely occurred between the latest Middle Triassic and early Late Triassic.
The Mongol-Okhotsk suture belt represents the result of the final closure of the Mongol-Okhotsk Ocean between the Siberian Craton and Erguna Block (also called Amuria), which played an essential role in the formation and tectonic evolution of eastern Eurasia during Mesozoic times. However, the timing of the final closure and subduction polarity of the Mongol-Okhotsk Ocean are still debated. In this study, provenance analysis of Multidimensional scaling and crustal thickness variation based on zircon Eu anomaly were used for the first time to reveal the tectonic evolution of the Mongol-Okhotsk Ocean during Mesozoic times. The results show that the evolution of the Mongol-Okhotsk Ocean can be divided into several stages. From Early Triassic (-245 Ma) onwards, the Mongol-Okhotsk Ocean started to shrink due to southward subduction beneath the Erguna Block. The closure of western segments of the Mongol-Okhotsk Ocean occurred in the Late Triassic, leading to a weakening or cessation of oceanic plate subduction, and the prevalence of an extensional environment during 225-215 Ma. Subsequently, after the Late Triassic (starting at ca. 205 Ma), subduction of the Mongol-Okhotsk Ocean continued until the middle segments closed during Middle Jurassic (-165 Ma). From 165 to 155 Ma, many magmatic arc rocks and metamorphic core complexes formed in the central and western segments of the Mongol-Okhotsk suture belt within a post-orogenic extensional setting. The eastern part of the Mongol-Okhotsk Ocean rapidly closed in a scissor-like manner, resulting in the collision between the Erguna Block and the Siberian Craton during the Late Jurassic (-150-145 Ma). Collision also caused uplift of the southern margin of the Siberian Craton and the sediment deposition in the Mohe Basin. The subsequent crustal shortening associated with the collision led to the formation of nappes and the emplacement of adakites along the northern margin of Greater Xing'an Mountains. Since the Early Cretaceous, the compressional environment transitioned into a postorogenic extensional tectonic environment influenced by the west-directed slab rollback of the Paleo-Pacific Plate and detachment of the subducted Mongol-Okhotsk oceanic plate after closure of the Mongol-Okhotsk Ocean.

The Mohe basin is located to the south of the eastern Mongol-Okhotsk suture belt and contains critical strati graphic records and thrust-nappe structures for understanding the closure of the eastern Mongol-Okhotsk Ocean. This paper discusses the formation ages, provenance, and tectonic setting of the Xiufeng and Mohe formations, and further reveals the timing of the final closure of the Mongol-Okhotsk Ocean and the tectonic evolution of the Mohe basin. The weighted mean( 206)Pb/U-238 ages for the youngest zircon of these samples indicate that the maximum depositional ages of the Xiufeng, Mohe and Tamulangou Formations were conservatively estimated at 159 Ma, 150 Ma and 128 Ma, respectively. From Late Triassic to Late Jurassic (150 Ma), the Mongol-Okhotsk Ocean was consumed by bidirectional subduction expressed by subduction under the Siberian Craton and the Erguna Block, respectively. The intense subduction led to the compression of the continental arc and the basement uplift of the Erguna Block, which provided abundant clastic sediments to the Xiufeng-Ershierzhan Formations. During the Late Jurassic-Valanginian (150-135 Ma), the Mongol-Okhotsk Ocean closed rapidly, which finally caused the collision between the Erguna Block and the Siberian Craton. Meanwhile, the southern margin of the Siberian Craton was uplifted and started furnishing sediments into the Mohe-Kaikukang Formations, which may have a bidirectional provenance. The subsequent crustal shortening associated with collision between the Erguna Block and the Siberian Craton led to nappe structures, syn-collisional folds, and nearly N-S-trending reverse and oblique-slip faults occurred along the northwestern margin of the Mohe basin. Between 135 and 128 Ma, the Mohe basin entered the stage of tectonic setting transformation, which is the crucial period for the Mohe basin to transform from compression to extension. Since the Early Barremian (ca. 128 Ma), the compressional environment was transformed into a post-orogenic extensional tectonic environment, and a series of nearly E-W and NE-SW-trending normal faults occurred, which might have been controlled by the slab rollback of the PaleoPacific Plate and detachment of the Mongol-Okhotsk oceanic plate after the closure of the Mongol-Okhotsk Ocean.
This article presents new zircon U–Pb ages, data on whole‐rock major and trace elements for the Early Ordovician to Early Cretaceous granitic rocks exposed in the Mohe Basin of North‐east China, and reveals the tectonic evolution history of the Mohe area during this period. The zircon U–Pb dating results indicate that the magmatic activities from the Early Ordovician to Early Cretaceous in the Mohe area can be divided into six stages, which are ~473, ~281, ~247, ~215, ~130, and ~124 Ma, respectively. The granitic rocks mainly originated by partial melting of a depleted and heterogeneous lower crust, except for the quartz diorites at ~130 Ma, derived from the separated crystallization of mantle‐derived subalkaline basaltic magma. The rock associations and their geochemical features indicate that the granitic rocks of ~247 and ~215 Ma formed in an active continental margin setting, whereas the granitic rocks with formation ages of ~473, ~281, ~130, and ~124 Ma were formed in an extensional tectonic setting. Each stage of magmatic activity is consistent with the magmatism and tectonism of the Erguna Block. Based on the achievements of the previous studies, we put forward a comprehensive tectonic evolution of the Mohe area. From Early Ordovician to Late Permian (473 ~ 252 Ma), the Mohe area was influenced by the Palaeo‐Asian Ocean tectonic domain. Magmatism of Late Permian to Late Jurassic (247 ~ 155 Ma) is mainly due to the subduction of the Mongol–Okhotsk Ocean. During the Late Jurassic, the Erguna Block collided with the Siberian Craton and the southern margin of the Siberian Craton was uplifted and started furnishing sediments into the Mohe Basin. In the Early Cretaceous (~130 Ma), the Mohe area may have been controlled by the Palaeo‐Pacific Ocean and the Mongol–Okhotsk Ocean tectonic domains.
Late Cretaceous granitoid-related deposits with different ore-forming elements show regional discrepancies: Sn polymetallic deposits formed in the southwestern margin of the Yangtze Block, whereas Cu-Mo deposits occurred in the neighbor Yidun arc. In order to figure out the controlling factors of this different mineralization, this study presents a combination of new zircon and apatite data with previously published geochemical data of Sn-related granitoids from Gejiu and Dachang deposits and Cu-Mo-related granitoids from Tongchanggou, Hongshan, and Relin deposits. The Sn-related granitoids are S-type granitoids with epsilon(Nd)(t) values of -10 to -7.6 and two-stage Nd model ages of 1700-1501 Ma, which implies that they were formed by partial melting of Proterozoic crustal materials. The Cu-Mo-related granitoids are I-type granitoids with adakitic features and wide ranges of epsilon(Nd)(t) values (-7.7 to -4.2) and zircon epsilon(Hf)(t) values (-9.6 to -1.3), reflecting the contributions of crustal- and mantlederived materials in the source. Compared with the Cu-Mo-related granitoids, higher whole-rock Sio(2) contents and Rb/Sr ratios, lower Nb/Ta, Zr/Hf, and K/Rb ratios in the Sn-related granitoids together with variations in zircon and apatite trace element ratios affirm that they are more fractionated. The magmas of Cu-Mo-related granitoids however are more oxidized and hydrous. They show higher zircon Eu-N/Eu-N* (average = 0.70), Ce 4+ /Ce 3+ (average = 671), Ce/-/(U ; x Ti) ratios and apatite Eu-N/Eu(N* )ratios, and lower Ti-in-zircon temperature (average = 675) and zircon (Ce/Nd)/Y ratios than those of the Sn-related granitoids (average zircon Eu-N/Eu-N* = 0.09, average Ce4+/Ce3+ ratios = 53, average Ti-in-zircon temperature = 749). The higher Cl content in apatite for the Cu-Mo-related granitoids reflects a Cl-richer magma for the Cu-Mo-related granitoids. Combined with the previous studies on regional contemporaneous magmatic activity and structures, the Sn- and Cu-Morelated granitoids formed in the intraplate and post-collisional extension environments, respectively. Reduced and fractionated crustal-derived magmas facilitate Sn enrichment, while oxidized, hydrous, and Cl-rich magmas with mantle-derived materials promote Cu-Mo mineralization. Accordingly, magma source, fractionation, redox, and volatile conjunctively control the formation of granitoid-related deposits with different ore element assemblages.
