TLDR
In this article, a detailed geochronological and geochemical data on the diabase dykes from Xide in the western Yangtze Block are presented, which suggests that the Xide dykes emplaced at ca. 800-810 Ma and were coeval with regional bimodal magmatism.About:

Locating South China in Rodinia and Gondwana: A fragment of Greater India Lithosphere? (Invited)
TL;DR: The South China craton was formed at the end of the Mesoproterozoic by Rodinia and occupied a position adjacent to Western Australia and northern India in the early NeoproTERozoic as discussed by the authors.

Neoproterozoic magmatism in the western and northern margins of the Yangtze Block (South China) controlled by slab subduction and subduction-transform-edge-propagator
TL;DR: Based on the geochronological and geochemical data, the authors showed that the Neoproterozoic igneous rocks in the western and northern margins of the Yangtze Block were formed in subduction and rift-related tectonic settings, respectively.

A pan-latitudinal Rodinia in the Tonian true polar wander frame
TL;DR: In this article, a new paleomagnetic and geochronological study was conducted on the Tonian Chengjiǫng Formation from Yunnan Province, South China, to examine the recent reported true polar wander event (TPW) during 825-750 Ma and clarify the position of South China in the Rodinia supercontinent.

The zircon story of the Pearl River (China) from Cretaceous to present
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used detrital zircon ages from both modern Pearl River sands and ancient strata drilled in offshore basins to reconstruct the evolution of the paleo-Pearl River catchment through time.

Complex growth and reworking processes in the Yangtze cratonic nucleus
TL;DR: Mei et al. as mentioned in this paper proposed a new understanding of the Kongling Complex: the SKC stayed together with the western part of the NKC from Meso-archean to Neoproterozoic (2.9 − 0.8 ) time, and they were separated by the intrusion of the Huangling magmas at 10 − 20

Chemical and isotopic systematics of oceanic basalt : implications for mantle composition and processes
TL;DR: In this article, trace-element data for mid-ocean ridge basalts and ocean island basalts are used to formulate chemical systematics for oceanic basalts, interpreted in terms of partial-melting conditions, variations in residual mineralogy, involvement of subducted sediment, recycling of oceanic lithosphere and processes within the low velocity zone.

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.

Geochemical discrimination of different magma series and their differentiation products using immobile elements
TL;DR: In this article, the abundance and distribution of selected minor and trace elements (Ti, Zr, Y, Nb, Ce, Ga and Sc) in fresh volcanic rocks can be used to classify the differentiation products of subalkaline and alkaline magma series in a similar manner to methods using normative or major-element indices.
