Journal ArticleDOI
Gondwana dispersion and Asian accretion: Tectonic and palaeogeographic evolution of eastern Tethys
Ian Metcalfe,Ian Metcalfe +1 more
TL;DR: The Phanerozoic evolution of the region is the result of more than 400 million years of continental dispersion from Gondwana and plate tectonic convergence, collision and accretion as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
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
Metallogeny of the North China Craton: Link with secular changes in the evolving Earth
TL;DR: The North China Craton (NCC) has experienced a complex geological evolution since the early Precambrian, and carries important records of secular changes in tectonics and metallogeny.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metamorphic chemical geodynamics in continental subduction zones
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the geochemical properties of UHP terranes is presented, focusing on the following issues in continental subduction zones: the time and duration of uHP metamorphism, the origin and action of metamorphic fluid/melt inside UHP slices, the element and isotope mobilities under HP to UHP conditions during continental collision, the origins of premetamorphic protoliths and its bearing on continental collision types, and the crustal detachment and crust mantle interaction in subduction channels.

The Hf isotope composition of cratonic mantle: LAM-MC-ICPMS analysis of zircon megacrysts in kimberlites
William L. Griffin,William L. Griffin,Norman J. Pearson,Elena Belousova,Simon E. Jackson,E. van Achterbergh,Suzanne Y. O'Reilly,S. R. Shee +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the isotopic composition of Hf has been measured in 124 mantle-derived zircon megacrysts from African, Siberian and Australian kimberlites, using a laser-ablation microprobe (LAM) and a multi-collector ICPMS.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Lu-Hf isotope geochemistry of chondrites and the evolution of the mantle-crust system
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors obtained a new set of present-day mean values in chondrites of176Hf/177Hf = 0.282772 ± 29 and176Lu/177 Hf= 0.0332 ± 2.
Journal ArticleDOI
The decay constant of 176Lu determined from Lu-Hf and U-Pb isotope systematics of terrestrial Precambrian high-temperature mafic intrusions
TL;DR: In this paper, a cross-calibration of U-Pb and Lu-Hf isotopic systems on mineral fractions from the Proterozoic Karlshamn and Sorkka dolerites in Sweden and Finland is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Late Archean to Paleoproterozoic evolution of the North China Craton: key issues revisited
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a model for the evolution of the North China Craton that envisages discrete Eastern and Western Blocks that developed independently during the Archean and collided along the Trans-North China Orogen during a Paleoproterozoic orogenic event.

Archean blocks and their boundaries in the North China Craton: lithological, geochemical, structural and P–T path constraints and tectonic evolution
TL;DR: In this paper, a mantle plume model is proposed for the formation and evolution of Late Archean basement rocks in the Eastern and Western Blocks based on a combination of extensive exposure of TTG gneisses, affinities of mafic rocks to continental tholeiitic basalts, presence of voluminous komatiitic rocks, dominant diaprism-related domiform structures, anticlockwise P-T paths, and a short time span from the primary emplacement of the TTG and ultramafic-to-maf
