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.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors defined four lithotectonic domains: Kongling, Kunming-Hainan, Wuyi, and Coastal domains, which are characterized by isolated Archean to early Paleoproterozoic rock units and events and crop out in northern and southern South China, respectively.

Zircon U–Pb chronology, Hf isotope analysis and whole-rock geochemistry for the Neoarchean-Paleoproterozoic Yudongzi complex, northwestern margin of the Yangtze craton, China
Bo Hui,Yunpeng Dong,Yunpeng Dong,Chao Cheng,Xiaoping Long,Xiaoming Liu,Zhao Yang,Shengsi Sun,Feifei Zhang,Jan Varga +9 more
TL;DR: The Yudongzi complex was probably involved in the amalgamation of the Paleoproterozoic supercontinent Columbia, and affected by a post-collisional metamorphic event at ca. 2.80-3.10-Ga as discussed by the authors.

Early crustal evolution of the Yangtze Craton, South China: New constraints from zircon U-Pb-Hf isotopes and geochemistry of ca. 2.9-2.6 Ga granitic rocks in the Zhongxiang Complex
TL;DR: Zhang et al. as discussed by the authors reported new zircon U-Pb age and Hf-isotope as well as geochemical analyses of the recently discovered Archean-Paleoproterozoic Zhongxiang Complex in the northern-central Yangtze Craton, South China, and interpret the early crustal evolution of the Yangtse Craton.

A Paleoproterozoic ophiolitic mélange, Yangtze craton, South China: Evidence for Paleoproterozoic suturing and microcontinent amalgamation
Qingsen Han,Songbai Peng,Timothy M. Kusky,Ali Polat,Ali Polat,Xingfu Jiang,Yang Cen,Songfeng Liu,Hao Deng +8 more
TL;DR: For the first time, the presence of a Paleoproterozoic ophiolitic melange in the Archean-Paleoproglobalozoic Kongling Complex in the northern Huangling Dome, Yangtze craton, South China has been verified by detailed field mapping, petrographic, geochronological and geochemical studies.

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.

The composition of the Earth
William F. McDonough,Shen-Su Sun +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the relative abundances of the refractory elements in carbonaceous, ordinary, and enstatite chondritic meteorites and found that the most consistent composition of the Earth's core is derived from the seismic profile and its interpretation, compared with primitive meteorites, and chemical and petrological models of peridotite-basalt melting relationships.

Trace element discrimination diagrams for the tectonic interpretation of granitic rocks
TL;DR: In this article, a data bank containing over 600 high quality trace element analyses of granites from known settings was used to demonstrate using ORG-normalized geochemical patterns and element-SiO2 plots that most of these granite groups exhibit distinctive trace element characteristics.

Zircon saturation revisited: temperature and composition effects in a variety of crustal magma types
E. Bruce Watson,T. Mark Harrison +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the saturation behavior of zircon in crustal anatectic melts as a function of both temperature and composition has been studied and a model of Zr solubility given by: In D Zr Zircon/melt = −3.80−[0.85(M−1)]+12900/T where T is the absolute temperature, and M is the cation ratio (Na + K + 2Ca)/(Al · Si).
