Secular evolution of continents and the Earth system
Understanding of secular evolution of the Earth system is based largely on the rock and
mineral archive preserved in the continental lithosphere. Based on the frequency and range …

Yangtze and Cathaysia blocks of South China: Their separate positions in Gondwana until early Paleozoic juxtaposition
Abstract The position of South China in Gondwana remains controversial. In all previous
models, the Yangtze and Cathaysia blocks, the two major components of South China, were …

Paleogeographical reconstruction of the South China Block during Gondwana assembly using detrital apatite: Pan-African source affinity concealed by detrital zircon
Detrital zircon provenance analysis plays a key role in reconstructions of past tectonic and
sedimentary environments. However, non-unique (or even erroneous) interpretations can be …
