The nature of Early Palaeozoic Kwangsian orogenic event in the South China Block: constraints from detrital zircons in Cambrian strata
TLDR
The tectonic nature of Early Palaeozoic Kwangsian orogeny in the South China Block (SCB) is still debated, due to controversy whether there was a Cambrian ocean between the Yangtze Block and the CaAbstract:

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.

Tianshu Wang,Yongshou Fu,Peiwen Chen,Kejun Hou,Bo Tang,Peiqi Luo,Lan Yao,Bingxu Liu,Zhenzhong Long,Yang Liu,Guodong Liu +10 more
TL;DR: In this article , the detrital zircon U-Pb ages and Hf isotopic compositions from the Early Carboniferous Al-bearing rock series and underlying Ordovician clastic rocks (Tongzi and Meitan Formation) are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Provenance variation of the Cambrian-Ordovician sedimentary rocks across South China and implication for its paleogeography in East Gondwana

The Origin of the Black Shale Series and Bentonites from the Wufeng Formation in the Southwestern Upper Yangtze: Implications for the Convergence of the Yangtze and Cathaysia Blocks in the Late Ordovician
TL;DR: In this paper , a basin-mountain evolution model suitable for South China in the Late Ordovician is presented based on previous research on the genetic relationship between black shale series and plate tectonic movement.

In situ analysis of major and trace elements of anhydrous minerals by LA-ICP-MS without applying an internal standard
TL;DR: In this paper, an internal standard-independent calibration strategy for LA-ICP-MS analysis of anhydrous minerals and glasses was described, where the ablation yield correction factor (AYCF) was used to correct the matrix-dependent absolute amount of materials ablated during each run.

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).

Interpreting Provenance Relations from Detrital Modes of Sandstones
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compare sandstone compositions by grouping diverse grain types into a few operational categories having broad genetic significance and displaying compositional fields associated with different provenances on standard triangular diagrams.

Gondwana dispersion and Asian accretion: Tectonic and palaeogeographic evolution of eastern Tethys
Ian Metcalfe,Ian Metcalfe +1 more
TL;DR: The Phanerozoic evolution of the region is the result of more than 400 million years of continental dispersion from Gondwana and plate tectonic convergence, collision and accretion as discussed by the authors.

Precambrian geology of China
Guochun Zhao,Peter A. Cawood +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a model for the origin of the 2.55-2.50-Ga metamorphic pulse in the North China Craton (NCC), which is interpreted as a major phase of juvenile crustal growth in the craton.
