Abstract

We recently presented a compilation of paleomagnetic data arguing for Cretaceous extension within Greater India. These data imply that a Tibetan Himalayan (TH) microcontinent rifted away from India, opening an oceanic Greater India Basin (GIB) in its wake. Consequently, we postulated a two-stage India-Asia collision at ∼52 and 25–20 Ma.
