The Collision of the Sibumasu and Indochina terranes.


Conceptual cross-section illustrating fromation of the Bentong-raub Suture by subduction of the Palaeo-Tethys Ocean and collision of the Sibumasu and Indochina terranes. Palaeo-Tethys opened in the Devonian, when Indochina and other Chinese blocks separated from Gondwana (in the late Sakmarian, Permian) and closed in the Late Triassic (After Metcalfe, 2000).
