Paleocene latitude of the Kohistan–Ladakh arc indicates multistage India–Eurasia collision

We report paleomagnetic data showing that an intraoceanic Trans- Tethyan subduction zone existed south of the Eurasian continent and north of the Indian subcontinent until at least Paleocene time. This system was active between 66 and 62 Ma at a paleolatitude of 8.1 ± 5.6 °N, placing it 600–2,300 km...
