Hi all,
I was wondering whether anyone knew of a reference for the estimated age of Indian-plate oceanic crust that was subducted beneath Asia at the onset of India–Asia collision (c. 50 Ma)? I have searched long and hard online and have found a few speculative numbers, but nothing that seems reliable (i.e. the age data I have found vary quite a lot). Maybe there are some prominent studies out there, but I am searching for the incorrect terms.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
