Extensional tectonics within a subduction-type orogen. The case study of the Wugongshan dome (Jiangxi Province, southeastern China)

TL;DR: The Wugongshan massif as mentioned in this paper is a metamorphic core complex formed in an extensional tectonic regime with a Mesozoic doming, and it is assumed to be formed by an early Paleozoic orogeny.
Journal ArticleDOI

Continental subduction and exhumation of UHP rocks. Structural and geochronological insights from the Dabieshan (East China)

TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive structural and kinematic map and a general cross-section of the Dabieshan including its foreland fold belt and the Northern Dabieshans Domain (Foziling and Luzenguang groups) are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tectonics of the Dabieshan (eastern China) and possible exhumation mechanism of ultra high‐pressure rocks

TL;DR: The Dabieshan is divided into three tectonic domains: the Northern Dabieshans, the Southern Dabieshs and the Central Dabiesshans as discussed by the authors, which are allochtons.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tectonics of SE China: New insights from the Lushan massif (Jiangxi Province)

TL;DR: The Lushan massif as discussed by the authors consists of two main lithotectonic units separated by a major tectonic contact: a Neoproterozoic (upper Sinian)-Paleozoic unit comprising primarily unmetamorphosed sandstones overlies a Paleoproprotero-tero geologic unit mainly composed of low-pressure, high-temperature gneisses and micaschists.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lithology, kinematics and geochronology related to Late Mesozoic basin-mountain evolution in the Nanxiong-Zhuguang area, South China

TL;DR: The Nanxiong red-bed basin and its adjacent Zhuguang granite form a distinctive basin-mountain landform in the Nanling region, South China.
