The India-Asia collision is an outstanding smoking gun in the study of continental collision dynamics.How and when the continental collision occurred remains a long-standing controversy.Here we present two new paleomagnetic data sets from rocks deposited on the distal part of the Indian passive margin,which indicate that the Tethyan Himalaya terrane was situated at a paleolatitude of~19.4° S at~75 Ma and moved rapidly northward to reach a paleolatitude of~13.7°N at~61 Ma.This implies that the Tethyan Himalaya terrane rifted from India after~75 Ma,generating the North India Sea.We document a new two-stage continental collision,first at~61 Ma between the Lhasa and Tethyan Himalaya terranes,and subsequently at~53-48 Ma between the Tethyan Himalaya terrane and India,diachronously closing the North India Sea from west to east.Our scenario matches the history of India-Asia convergence rates and reconciles multiple lines of geologic evidence for the collision.
