Formation and Evolution of Archean Continental Crust of the North China Craton

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a new tectonic model to understand the formation and evolution of the early Precambrian basement of the North China Craton (NCC), which is based on the compilation of a large database of zircon ages as well as whole-rock Nd isotopic and Hf-in-zircon isotopic data.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Palaeoproterozoic tectono-magmatic lull as a potential trigger for the supercontinent cycle

TL;DR: In this article, a global compilation of mafic igneous rocks demonstrates that this episode of magmatic quiescence was terminated about 2.2 billion years ago by a flare-up of juvenile magmatism.
Journal ArticleDOI

Geochemical and geochronological study on the Paleoproterozoic rock assemblage of the Xiuyan region: New constraints on an integrated rift-and-collision tectonic process involving the evolution of the Jiao-Liao-Ji Belt, North China Craton

TL;DR: Zhang et al. as discussed by the authors presented new field mapping results, U-Pb zircon ages, and geochemistry of the Paleoproterozoic rock sequence (i.e. volcano-sedimentary rocks and gneissic granites) from the Xiuyan area of the Central JLJB.
Journal ArticleDOI

Petrology, phase equilibria modelling and zircon U–Pb geochronology of Paleoproterozoic mafic granulites from the Fuping Complex, North China Craton

TL;DR: In this paper, a clock-wise P-T path is defined for the subsequent retrograde stages based on relatively higher H2O contents from P/T-M(H2O) diagrams, with the peak mineral assemblages comprising garnet + clinopyroxene + amphibole + quartz + plagioclase + K-feldspar + ilmenite ± orthopyroxenes ± magnetite.

Tectonic evolution of a complex orogenic system: Evidence from the northern Qinling belt, Central China

TL;DR: In this article, a suite of orthogneisses from the Taihua Group (THG) and Tietonggou Group (TGG) were investigated for their ages.

Composition of the Continental Crust

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 composition of the continental crust

TL;DR: In this paper, a new calculation of the crustal composition is based on the proportions of upper crust (UC) to felsic lower crust (FLC) to mafic lower-crust (MLC) of about 1.6:0.4.

Atlas of Zircon Textures

TL;DR: In this paper, a selection of both the most typical, but also of the less common, features seen in zircon, categorized according to the different geological processes responsible for their formation are presented.
