Paleomagnetic constraints on the paleogeography of the East Asian blocks during Late Paleozoic and Early Mesozoic times
TL;DR: In this article, a series of paleogeographic reconstructions for these major blocks and lesser terranes of East Asia between mid-Ordovician and late Jurassic times was presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Paleomagnetism of ca. 1.35Ga sills in northern North China Craton and implications for paleogeographic reconstruction of the Mesoproterozoic supercontinent
TL;DR: Paleomagnetic data on precisely dated Mesoproterozoic sills, in zircon and baddeleyite 207Pb/206Pb ages of 1345±12 and 1353±14.Ma respectively, intruding the Xiamaling and Wumishan formations in North China with an aim of evaluating how the North China Craton (NCC) was involved in the evolution of the Columbia supercontinent from ca. 1.78 to 1.35
Journal ArticleDOI
Large southward motion and clockwise rotation of Indochina throughout the Mesozoic: Paleomagnetic and detrital zircon U–Pb geochronological constraints
Yonggang Yan,Baochun Huang,Baochun Huang,Jie Zhao,Donghai Zhang,Xiaohui Liu,Punya Charusiri,Apivut Veeravinantanakul +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, a combined paleomagnetic and U-Pb geochronologic study of sedimentary rocks from the Huai Hin Lat and Nam Phong formations of Mesozoic age in NE Thailand was performed to provide independent constraints on the tectonic movement of the Indochina Block during convergence of the major blocks now comprising East Asia.
Journal ArticleDOI
A quasi-linear structure of the southern margin of Eurasia prior to the India-Asia collision: First paleomagnetic constraints from Upper Cretaceous volcanic rocks near the western syntaxis of Tibet
Zhiyu Yi,Baochun Huang,Baochun Huang,Liekun Yang,Xiangde Tang,Yonggang Yan,Qingqing Qiao,Jie Zhao,Liwei Chen +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, a combined geochronologic and paleomagnetic study of volcanic rocks from the Shiquanhe and Yare Basins at the westernmost Lhasa Terrane was performed to provide an accurate constraint on the shape and paleoposition of the southern margin of Asia prior to the India-Asia collision.
Journal ArticleDOI
Late Triassic paleomagnetic result from the Baoshan Terrane, West Yunnan of China: Implication for orientation of the East Paleotethys suture zone and timing of the Sibumasu-Indochina collision
TL;DR: In order to better understand the paleogeographic position of the Baoshan Terrane in the northernmost part of the Sibumasu and Indochina blocks during formation of the Pangea supercontinent, a paleomagnetic study has been conducted on Late Triassic basaltic lavas from the southern part of a basin in the West Yunnan region of Southwest China as mentioned in this paper.
