TL;DR: In this article, a critical area using zircon and apatite fission-track data was studied to reveal the early exhumation history of the southern Central Range.
96 citations
TL;DR: Based on experimental works for a common thermal regime and inherited zircon age information, the authors suggest that SP and P-MP rhyolites represent low pressure melting of the felsic (quartzofeldspathic) granite (±metapelite) and the accompanied granodioritic, tonalitic and trondhjemitic member of the core complex assemblage, respectively, to account for the decreasing aluminosity.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the inhabitants in this region are being subjected to moderately elevated arsenic exposure through the consumption of tilapia and shrimp raised in aquaculture ponds.
Abstract: Aquacultural tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus L.) and shrimp (Penaeus monodon L.) from groundwater-cultured ponds in southwestern Taiwan were analyzed to estimate arsenic (As) bioaccumulation and t ...

TL;DR: In this article, the authors combine 62 new zircon fission-track ages with timing of rapid tectonic subsidence in the foreland basin to identify the timing of the onset of exhumation and orogenesis.
Abstract: The obliquity of the arc-continent collision in Taiwan is thought to
have produced a southward-propagating orogenic system starting as early as 8 Ma.
We combine 62 new zircon fission-track ages with timing of rapid
subsidence in the foreland basin to identify the timing of
the onset of exhumation and orogenesis. The oldest completely reset zircon fission-track ages
and the onset of rapid tectonic subsidence in both the northern and southern parts of the foreland
basin are ca. 5–6 Ma. We propose that north-south rifting in the South China Sea created
a north-trending continental margin before the collision rather than the commonly assumed
northeast-trending margin. Consequently, both this north-trending continental margin and
the Luzon arc of the Philippine Sea plate were subparallel, resulting in an initial collision that
was simultaneous along strike.

TL;DR: The oldest gold deposits in Asia reflect accretionary events along the margins of the Siberia, Kazakhstan, North China, Tarim-Karakum, South China, and Indochina Precambrian blocks while they were isolated within the Paleotethys and surrounding Panthalassa Oceans as discussed by the authors.
452 citations
TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper made a review by synthesizing existing structural, petrological, geochronological and geochemical data of the Cretaceous structures and magmas.
420 citations
TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed LAM-ICPMS U-Pb dating and LAMMC-IpMS Lu-Hf isotope analysis were carried out on zircons from nine samples of basement metamorphic rocks in the southern Cathaysia Block, South China.
372 citations
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined two Mesozoic basalt successions in South China, one parallel and the other oblique to the convergence boundary between the paleo-Pacific plate and South China continent, to constrain the influence of this presumed subduction system on mantle composition.
273 citations
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose that the origin and timing of termination of subduction has been explained by collision of a large Luconia continental fragment either during the Late Cretaceous or Palaeogene.
