Precambrian geology of China
Guochun Zhao,Peter A. Cawood +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a model for the origin of the 2.55-2.50-Ga metamorphic pulse in the North China Craton (NCC), which is interpreted as a major phase of juvenile crustal growth in the craton.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lithotectonic elements of Precambrian basement in the North China Craton: Review and tectonic implications
Guochun Zhao,Mingguo Zhai +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the 2.6-2.5 Ga basement rocks in the eastern and western parts of the NCC formed under different tectonic settings from those in the central part, consistent with subduction and continent-continent collisional belts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Amalgamation of the North China Craton: Key issues and discussion
Guochun Zhao,Peter A. Cawood,Sanzhong Li,Simon A. Wilde,Min Sun,Jian Zhang,Yanhong He,Changqing Yin +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, a model for assembly and stabilization of the various Archean blocks of the NCC in the Paleoproterozoic has been proposed, based on the analysis of available stratigraphic, structural, geochemical, metamorphic and geochronologic data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Single zircon grains record two Paleoproterozoic collisional events in the North China Craton
TL;DR: The Huaian Complex as mentioned in this paper is a high-grade terrrane located at the conjunction of the Khondalite Belt and Trans-North China Orogen, which records metamorphic events associated with both collisions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Timing of metamorphism in the Paleoproterozoic Jiao-Liao-Ji Belt: New SHRIMP U-Pb zircon dating of granulites, gneisses and marbles of the Jiaobei massif in the North China Craton
TL;DR: In this paper, high-pressure granulites, gneisses and marbles were used to determine the timing of metamorphism of the high-temperature and high pressure granulite and associated gneises and marble cores in the Jiao-Liao-Ji Belt.

The continental crust: Its composition and evolution
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the composition of the present upper crust and deal with possible compositions for the total crust and the inferred composition of lower crust, and the question of the uniformity of crustal composition throughout geological time is discussed.

Subcommission on geochronology: Convention on the use of decay constants in geo- and cosmochronology
R.H. Steiger,E. Jäger +1 more
TL;DR: The IUGS Subcommission on Geochronology (FOOTNOTE 4) as discussed by the authors recommended the adoption of a standard set of decay constants and isotopic abundances in isotope geology.

Composition of the Continental Crust
Roberta L. Rudnick,Shan Gao +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the present-day composition of the continental crust, the methods employed to derive these estimates, and the implications of continental crust composition for the formation of the continents, Earth differentiation, and its geochemical inventories are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The geochemical evolution of the continental crust
TL;DR: A survey of the dimensions and composition of the present continental crust is given in this paper, where it is concluded that at least 60% of the crust was emplaced by the late Archean (ca. 2.7 eons).
