Detrital zircon geochronology of Precambrian basement sequences in the Jiangnan orogen : dating the assembly of the Yangtze and Cathaysia Blocks
Xiao-Lei Wang,Xiao-Lei Wang,Jin-Cheng Zhou,William L. Griffin,Rucheng Wang,Jiansheng Qiu,Suzanne Y. O'Reilly,Xisheng Xu,Xiaoming Liu,Gui-Lin Zhang +9 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
The crust of Cathaysia: Age, assembly and reworking of two terranes
Xisheng Xu,Xisheng Xu,Suzanne Y. O'Reilly,William L. Griffin,Xiao-Lei Wang,Xiao-Lei Wang,Norman J. Pearson,Zhenyu He +7 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Magmatic switch-on and switch-off along the South China continental margin since the Permian: Transition from an Andean-type to a Western Pacific-type plate boundary
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the Tananao schist in eastern Taiwan is consistent with its protolith being deposited on the South China continental margin at around, or soon after, 150 Ma.
Journal ArticleDOI
Early Paleozoic depositional environment and intraplate tectono-magmatism in the Cathaysia Block (South China): Evidence from stratigraphic, structural, geochemical and geochronological investigations
TL;DR: In this paper, a systematic study of the stratigraphic sequences, deformational features and geochronology of magmatic event in the early Paleozoic of the Yangtze and Cathaysia blocks is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Petrogenesis and tectonic significance of a Mesozoic granite-syenite-gabbro association from inland South China
Zhenyu He,Xisheng Xu,Yaoling Niu +2 more
TL;DR: A granite-syenite-gabbro association from inland South China has been studied for zircon U-Pb ages and Hf isotopic compositions as well as whole-rock elemental and Sr-Nd isotope compositions to constrain their sources and tectonic settings as discussed by the authors.
