As a complex paleo-ocean located between the Tarim-North China and the
Sibumasu/Baoshan blocks, the Proto-Tethys Ocean was opened from the rifting of the …

The history of the South China Craton and the constituent Yangtze and Cathaysia blocks are
directly linked to Earth's Phanerozoic and Precambrian record of supercontinent assembly …

Contrasting models for internal and external locations of South China within the Nuna and
Rodinia supercontinents can be resolved when the current lithotectonic associations of …

In intraplate orogens tectonothermal activity occurs at a site removed from a plate margin
and is considered to result from localization of far-field plate-boundary stresses through a …

The northern margin of the Tarim Craton plays a pivotal role in understanding the crustal
evolution and supercontinent reconstruction of the Tarim Craton. Here we integrate LA-ICP …

Early Paleozoic evolution of the northern Gondwana margin is interpreted from integrated in
situ U-Pb and Hf-isotope analyses on detrital zircons that constrain depositional ages and …

Mafic rocks are the most common type of igneous rocks on Earth, however, constraining the
crystallization age of mafic rocks can be challenging. Apatite is a common accessory phase …

We report detrital zircon ages for Precambrian and early Palaeozoic metasediments from the
Tianshan orogen in Kyrgyzstan, an important component of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt …

The role of tectonics in controlling temporal and spatial variations in sediment provenance
during the evolution of extensional basins from initial rifting to continental breakup and …

华南的广西运动被认为是发生在早古生代的陆内造山作用, 然而触发陆内变形的地球动力学机制
仍然不清. 广西运动形成了泥盆系与下伏岩石之间广泛的不整合面以及分布在局部地区的下古生 …
