Paleomagnetic constraints on the geodynamic history of the major blocks of China from the Permian to the present
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of all available paleomagnetic poles of Upper Permian to Tertiary age from the main blocks of China with the goal of placing constraints on models of the formation and subsequent deformation of the region is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carboniferous granitic plutons from the northern margin of the North China block: implications for a late Palaeozoic active continental margin
TL;DR: In this article, four late Palaeozoic zircon sensitive high-resolution ion microprobe (SHRIMP) U-Pb ages for granitic plutons from the Inner Mongolia Palaeo-uplift on the northern margin of the North China block were reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
The 1.35 Ga diabase sills from the northern North China Craton: Implications for breakup of the Columbia (Nuna) supercontinent
TL;DR: In this paper, a diabase sill sample emplaced into the Mesoproterozoic Wumishan Formation yielded weighed mean 207 Pb/ 206 Pb ages of 1345 −± −12 −Ma (95% confidence, MSWD −1.8, N ǫ=−18) and 1353 −±−14 −Ma, respectively, indicating emplacement of the sills at the Mid-MesoproTERozoic (Ectasian) instead of the Late Paleozoic or Mesozoic as previously regarded
Journal ArticleDOI
Magnetostratigraphy of Paleogene sediments from northern Qaidam Basin, China: Implications for tectonic uplift and block rotation in northern Tibetan plateau

TL;DR: In this article, a detailed magnetostratigraphic study of Tertiary sediments in the northern margin of the Qaidam Basin, northern Tibetan plateau was carried out, where a total of 400 paleomagnetic samples were collected from the Shanggancaigou and Xiagancaigou Formations in the Hongsanhan section.
Journal ArticleDOI
A long connection (750-380 Ma) between South China and Australia: paleomagnetic constraints
TL;DR: In this article, a new paleomagnetic study has been carried out on sediments of middle Cambrian age in the North Sichuan Basin (Yangtze Block). Detailed stepwise thermal demagnetizations allowed us to isolate three components.
