Journal ArticleDOI
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 early Paleogene marine sediments in southern Tibet, China: Implications to onset of the India-Asia collision and size of Greater India
TL;DR: In this paper, a study of 675 drill-core samples collected from the Zongpu and Upper Jidula formations, characteristic remanent magnetizations (ChRMs) were successfully isolated from most samples following alternating field (AF) or integrated thermal and AF demagnetization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Paleomagnetic study of Late Paleozoic rocks in the Tacheng Basin of West Junggar (NW China): Implications for the tectonic evolution of the western Altaids
TL;DR: In this paper, a combined paleomagnetic and geochronological study on Late Devonian (D3), Late Carboniferous (C2) and Early Permian (P1) successions from the Tacheng Basin, northwest of China was conducted to better understand the tectonic evolution of West Junggar in the western Altaids.
Journal ArticleDOI
Palaeomagnetic and palaeoenvironmental study of two parallel sections of late Cenozoic strata in the central Taklimakan Desert: Implications for the desertification of the Tarim Basin
Donghuai Sun,Jan Bloemendal,Zhiyu Yi,Yanhu Zhu,Xin Wang,Yuebao Zhang,Zaijun Li,Fei Wang,Fei Han,Yan Zhang +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors apply high resolution palaeomagnetic dating, ESR dating and palaeoenvironmental reconstruction to two parallel sections from an almost 1000m thick sequence of terrestrial sediments in the central Tarim Basin in order to characterize and date the process of drying and desertification.
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
