TL;DR: In this article, LA-ICP-MS U-Pb dating of detrital zircons suggests that the maximum depositional age of the basement sedimentary rocks in the western part of the Jiangnan orogen is ca. 860-800 ǫ.
534 citations
TL;DR: Zircons from the Oujiang River in eastern and western parts of the Cathaysia block in SE China have been used to analyse the crustal evolution of the Yanshanian magmatism, consistent with mixing between crustal and juvenile magmas as mentioned in this paper.
417 citations
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented new laser ablation-ICP-MS U-Pb zircon data for the igneous rocks from Northern Guangxi, which indicated a broad duration of magmatic activities (ca 35 million years), inconsistent with plume models that predict widespread magmatic eruption and emplacement within period of 1-5 million years.
377 citations
TL;DR: The Shuangqiaoshan Group is an important stratigraphic unit in the Jiangnan orogen, however, prior to this study its age was unclear as mentioned in this paper, and the ages of the quartz-keratophyres and tuffs suggest that the depositional age for the Shuangqaoshan group is ca. 880-Ma, rather than Mesoproterozoic as previously suggested.
260 citations
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used SHRIMP and LA-ICP-MS U-Pb zircon datings for four samples of the Fanjingshan Group from northeastern Guizhou have been classified as the calc-alkaline series and showed typical geochemical signatures of arc basalts and decoupling Nd-Hf isotopic characters.

TL;DR: A brief synthesis of the current state of knowledge on the formation and break-up of the early Neoproterozoic supercontinent Rodinia and the subsequent assembly of Gondwanaland is presented in this paper.
2,790 citations
TL;DR: The Phanerozoic evolution of the region is the result of more than 400 million years of continental dispersion from Gondwana and plate tectonic convergence, collision and accretion as discussed by the authors.
1,381 citations
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a model for the origin of the 2.55-2.50-Ga metamorphic pulse in the North China Craton (NCC), which is interpreted as a major phase of juvenile crustal growth in the craton.
1,181 citations
TL;DR: The Shuangxiwu Group volcanic rocks from the southeastern Yangtze Block were studied in this paper, and the results indicated that the tectonic regime of the study region transformed from plate convergence to intracontinental rifting in the time period between ca. 890 and ca. 850.
815 citations
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented an overview of key geological observations in the South China Block with respect to its Phanerozoic tectonics, and proposed a geodynamic model for the Mesozoic evolution of the SCB, which is characterized by strong thrusting/transpression, anatexic granitic magmatism, high-grade metamorphism and the poor involvement of the juvenile mantle derived rocks.
