Abstract

The Jurassic accretionary terranes have been documented from the eastern margin of the Asian continent, including northeast and Far East Russia, NE China and SW Japan. The similarities of high-P/T blueschists from the Heilongjiang Complex, NE China, and the Suo metamorphic belt, SW Japan, suggest that both metamorphic belts were formed in the same subduction system, which is related to the Paleo-Pacific subduction, and this subduction event was instrumental in producing of voluminous Jurassic accretionary complexes along the eastern margin of the Asian Continent. Therefore, the appearance of Jurassic accretionary terranes plays an important role in reconstructing the geodynamic evolution of the eastern margin of the Asian Continent.
