TLDR
Li et al. as mentioned in this paper used secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) baddeleyite dating to show that the diabase sills are distributed over a region that is >600 km long and >200 km wide, with areal extent > 1.2 × 10 5 ǫAbout:

Journal ArticleDOI
Extending full-plate tectonic models into deep time: Linking the Neoproterozoic and the Phanerozoic
Andrew Merdith,Simon Williams,Alan S. Collins,Michael G. Tetley,Jacob A. Mulder,Morgan L. Blades,Alexander S. Young,Sheree Armistead,John Cannon,Sabin Zahirovic,R. Dietmar Müller +10 more
TL;DR: For the first time, a continuous full-plate model spanning 1 Ga to the present day was presented in this paper, which includes a revised and improved model for the Neoproterozoic-Cambrian (1000-520 Ma) that connects with models of the Phanerozoic.
Journal ArticleDOI
Geochronological and geochemical insights into the tectonic evolution of the Paleoproterozoic Jiao-Liao-Ji Belt, Sino-Korean Craton
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors synthesize the geochronological, geochemical, and isotopic data on the Paleoproterozoic igneous rocks in the JLJB.

Global Meso-Neoproterozoic plate reconstruction and formation mechanism for Precambrian basins: Constraints from three cratons in China
Sanzhong Li,Xiyao Li,Guangzeng Wang,Yiming Liu,Zecheng Wang,Tongshan Wang,Xianzhi Cao,Xiaoyu Guo,Ian D. Somerville,Yang Li,Jie Zhou,Liming Dai,Suhua Jiang,Hao Zhao,Yu Wang,Gang Wang,Shan Yu +16 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the formation mechanisms and tectonic settings of these rift basins as the targets of deep Earth are discussed, based on the restoration of global positions of the three cratons by pre-existing paleomagnetic data and plate reconstruction.

The supercontinent cycle
Ross N. Mitchell,Nan Zhang,Johanna Salminen,Yebo Liu,Christopher Spencer,Bernhard Steinberger,J. Brendan Murphy,Zheng-Xiang Li +7 more
TL;DR: The supercontinent cycle is interpreted as both an effect and a cause of mantle convection, emphasizing the importance of both top-down and bottom-up geodynamics, and the coupling between them.

Approximation of terrestrial lead isotope evolution by a two-stage model
J.S. Stacey,Jan Kramers +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a two-stage model for terrestrial lead isotope evolution is proposed, which permits the age of the earth to be that of the meteorite system and also yields good model ages for samples of all ages.
Journal ArticleDOI
Magmatism at rift zones: The generation of volcanic continental margins and flood basalts
Robert S. White,Dan McKenzie +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the production of magmatically active rifted margins and the effusion of flood basalts onto the adjacent continents can be explained by a simple model of rifting above a thermal anomaly in the underlying mantle.

Assembly, configuration, and break-up history of Rodinia: A synthesis
Zheng-Xiang Li,Zheng-Xiang Li,Svetlana Bogdanova,Alan S. Collins,A. Davidson,B. De Waele,Richard E. Ernst,Ian C.W. Fitzsimons,Reinhardt A. Fuck,Dmitry P. Gladkochub,Joachim Jacobs,Karl E. Karlstrom,S. Lu,L. M. Natapov,Victoria Pease,Sergei Pisarevsky,Kristine Thrane,Valery A. Vernikovsky +17 more
TL;DR: A brief synthesis of the current state of knowledge on the formation and break-up of the early Neoproterozoic supercontinent Rodinia and the subsequent assembly of Gondwanaland is presented in this paper.

Did the breakout of laurentia turn gondwanaland inside-out?
TL;DR: Comparative geology suggests that the continents adjacent to northern, western, southern, and eastern Laurentia in the Late Proterozoic were Siberia, Australia-Antarctica, southern Africa, and Amazonia-Baltica, respectively.

Large igneous provinces: crustal structure, dimensions, and external consequences
Millard F. Coffin,Olav Eldholm +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compile all known in situ LIPs younger than 250 Ma and analyze dimensions, crustal structures, ages, and emplacement rates of representatives of the three major LIP categories: Ontong Java and Kerguelen-Broken Ridge oceanic plateaus, North Atlantic volcanic passive margins, and Deccan and Columbia River continental flood basalts Crustal thickness ranges from 20 to 40 km, and the lower crust is characterized by high (70-76 km s?1) compressional wave velocities.
