The Kazakhstanian plate was near the Tarim, Sino‐Korean and South China‐Southeast Asian plates in the Middle‐Late Cambrian and Late Ordovician, and approached the Siberian plate in the other periods of the Early Palaeozoic. The Ili and Toksun‐Yamansu terranes had been split from the Tarim plate before the Middle Devonian and then went close to Angaraland in the late Early Permian. The Beishan area on the northeastern margin of the Tarim plate came close to Angaraland first in the early Early Permian. The suturing age between the Tarim and Kazakhstanian‐Siberian plates is generally the same as that between the Turkey‐Central Iran‐Gangdise and South China‐Southeast Asian plates. The suturing event took place in the early Early Permian, while the corresponding tectogeny occurred between the Early and Late Permian.
