Evolution of the South China Sea: Revised ages for breakup and seafloor spreading

TL;DR: The seafloor spreading history of the South China Sea has been interpreted in different ways in the past and the debate over the correct timing of the major tectonic events continues as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

The final rifting evolution in the South China Sea

TL;DR: In this article, a conceptual model for rift-evolution at conjugate magma-poor margins in time and space is presented, based on the early Cenozoic South China Sea rift architecture at the distal margins.
Journal ArticleDOI

A review of Wilson Cycle plate margins: A role for mantle plumes in continental break-up along sutures?

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the passive margins of the Atlantic and Indian oceans with the aim to evaluate the extent in which oceanic openings used former sutures and analyse the potential role of mantle plumes in continental break-up.

Rapid transition from continental breakup to igneous oceanic crust in the South China Sea

H.C. Larsen, +70 more
- 20 Aug 2018 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report International Ocean Discovery Program drilling data from the northern South China Sea margin, testing the magma-poor margin model outside the North Atlantic, showing initiation of mid-Ocean Ridge basalt type magmatism during breakup, with a narrow and rapid transition into igneous oceanic crust.
Journal ArticleDOI

Crustal-scale seismic profiles across the Manila subduction zone: The transition from intraoceanic subduction to incipient collision

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used multichannel seismic reflection and wide-angle seismic data sets to model the velocity structure of the incipient arc-continent collision along two trench perpendicular transects in the Bashi Strait between Taiwan and Luzon.

The lithosphere below the Rockall Trough: wide-angle seismic evidence for extensive serpentinisation

TL;DR: The longer-range data from wide-angle seismic reflection experiments along an axial and transverse profile determined the seismic properties of the shallow mantle lithosphere beneath the Rockall Trough in the North Atlantic.

Where does the South Anyui suture go in the New Siberian islands and Laptev Sea?: Implications for the Amerasia basin origin

TL;DR: The South Anyui suture is a major tectonic boundary in NE Asia, believed to represent the remains of an ocean basin which separated Siberia from North America in Jurassic time.

Foraminiferally defined biostratigraphic episodes and sedimentation pattern of the Cretaceous drift succession (Early Barremian to Late Maastrichtian) in seven basins on the South African and southern Namibian continental margin : research article

TL;DR: In this paper, a foraminifera-based biostratigraphy is presented for the Cretaceous drift succession, which dates in age from Early Barremian to Late Maastrichtian, or approximately from 127 to 65 million years ago.

Integrated 3-D Reservoir Modeling Based on 3-D Seismic: The Tertiary Malampaya and Camago Buildups, Offshore Palawan, Philippines

TL;DR: In this article, a new functionality was developed within Shell's proprietary integrated 3D modeling suite (GEOCAP), which allows deterministic model reservoirs using seismic horizon and volume interpretation, sequence-and cyclo-stratigraphic architecture, and the concept of reservoir rock type.

Petroleum systems in rift basins – a collective approach inSoutheast Asian basins

TL;DR: In this article, the authors synthesize some of the main conclusions reached in a recent regional review of the Tertiary basins of Southeast Asia, carried out by Shell four distinctive types of petroleum systems, correlating with the four main stages of basin evolution (early to late syn-rift and early to late post-rift), are developed widely in the basins.
