Corrigendum: New Paleomagnetic Constraints on the Early Cretaceous Paleolatitude of the Lhasa Terrane (Tibet)

In the original article, there was a mistake in Table 2 as published. In the “Reference” column, “Combined analysis with results from Li et al. (2016),” the citation should be Li Z. et al. (2017) instead of Li et al. (2016). The corrected Table 2 appears below.

In the original article, there was a mistake in Figure 10 as published. The selected reference site appearing in the top-right corner of the figure should read “Reference site (29.5°N, 91.0°E)” instead of “Reference site: 29.7°N, 91.0°E.” The corrected Figure 10 appears below.

In the original article, the reference for Li Z. et al. (2017) was incorrectly written as “Li, Z., Ding, L., Song, P., Fu, J., and Yue, Y. (2017d). Paleomagnetic Constraints on the Paleolatitude of the Lhasa Block during the Early Cretaceous: Implications for the Onset of India-Asia Collision and Latitudinal Shortening Estimates across Tibet and Stable Asia. Gondwana Res. 41, 352–372. doi: 10.1016j.gr.2015.05.013.” Instead, it should be “Li, Z., Ding, L., Song, P., Fu, J., and Yue, Y. (2017). Paleomagnetic Constraints on the Paleolatitude of the Lhasa Block during the Early Cretaceous: Implications for the Onset of India-Asia Collision and Latitudinal Shortening Estimates across Tibet and Stable Asia. Gondwana Res. 41, 352–372. doi: 10.1016/j.gr.2015.05.013.”

In the original article, the reference for Qasim et al. (2018) was not cited. The citation has now been inserted in Section 8 Discussion, “Sub-section 8.2 Implications to Timing of Initial India-Asia Collision,” Paragraph 14:

“Recently, scientists have studied the timing of initial India-Asia collision from the perspectives of biostratigraphic constraints and sedimentary records (DeCelles et al., 2014; Wu et al., 2014; Hu et al., 2015, 2016a; Qasim et al., 2018; Wei et al., 2020).”

In the original article, there was an error in the text. The authors mistakenly wrote “7,100 ± 530 km” and “6,400 ± 550 km” as “7,100 ± 540 km” and “6,400 ± 560 km”. A correction has been made to the Section Highlights, point 3:

“The Neo-Tethys Ocean reached its maximum N-S width of 7,100 ± 530 km at ∼132 Ma and shrank to 6,400 ± 550 km at ∼115 Ma.”

In the original article, there was an error. The authors mistakenly wrote “lower” as “higher.” A correction has been made to Section 5 Magnetic Mineralogy and Petrography, “Sub-section 5.1.2 Temperature Dependence of the Magnetic Susceptibility Measurements,” Paragraph 1:

“Moreover, all samples show that the heating curves are significantly lower than the cooling curves.”

In the original article, there was an error. The authors wrongly cited the reference citation of Li et al. (2016). A correction has been made to Section 8 Discussion, “Sub-section 8.2 Implications to Timing of Initial India-Asia Collision,” Paragraph 12:

“Thus, given the originality of this batch of paleomagnetic data set, it is clear that we also demonstrate the robustness of the previously obtained paleomagnetic results from the Duoni Fm. volcano-sedimentary rocks (Li Z. et al., 2017).”

The authors apologize for these errors and state that this does not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way. The original article has been updated.
