TLDR
In this paper, peridotite xenoliths carried in Paleozoic kimberlites and Tertiary alkali basalts confirm previous suggestions that the refractory and chemically buoyant lithospheric keel present beneath the eastern block of the North China craton is indeed Archean in age.About:

Continental and Oceanic Crust Recycling-induced Melt^Peridotite Interactions in the Trans-North China Orogen: U^Pb Dating, Hf Isotopes and Trace Elements in Zircons from Mantle Xenoliths
TL;DR: In this article, the first finding of continental crust-derived Precambrian zircons in garnet/spinel pyroxenite veins within mantle xenoliths carried by the Neogene Hannuoba basalt in the central zone of the North China Craton (NCC).
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.

Recycling lower continental crust in the North China craton
Shan Gao,Shan Gao,Roberta L. Rudnick,Hong-Ling Yuan,Xiaoming Liu,Yongsheng Liu,Wen-Liang Xu,Wenli Ling,John C. Ayers,Xuan-Che Wang,Qing-Hai Wang +10 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that lower crustal foundering occurred within the North China craton during the Late Jurassic, and thus provides constraints on the timing of lithosphere removal beneath the NorthChina craton.

Nature and significance of the Early Cretaceous giant igneous event in eastern China
TL;DR: In this article, Zhang et al. used zircon U-Pb SHRIMP (5 samples), laser ablation (LA) ICP-MS (22 samples), and TIMS (5 sample) dating to establish that the Early Cretaceous was a significant period of igneous activity in the Liaodong Peninsula, with a duration of about 10 Ma.

Timothy M. Kusky,Jianghai Li +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors synthesize the geology, geochronology, and tectonics of the Neo-archean through Mesoproterozoic evolution of the North China Craton.

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.

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

Remnants of ≥3800 Ma crust in the Chinese part of the Sino-Korean craton
TL;DR: In this article, the detrital zircons in an Archean metaquartzite are 3550 Ma or older; about one-fourth have ages between 3800 and 3850 Ma.

Nd isotopic variations and petrogenetic models
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the geochemical properties of a chondritic reservoir with high Fe, high Fe basalt, Ti basalt and alkali basalts and compared the results with the present value of the source regions of the earth.
