Elucidating the petrological and geochemical characteristics of continental arc crustal
fragments can provide unique insights into the magmatic evolutional path and …

Identifying the tectonic transition process from persistent slab subduction to back-arc
extension is vital for the systematical study of arc magmatic evolution in a temporal …

The evolutionary history of the Yangtze Block plays an increasingly important part in
reconstructing Proterozoic paleogeography and associated supercontinent cycles. We …

Identifying long-lived subduction at the periphery of supercontinents provides insights into
the processes of block assembly and dispersal within the supercontinent cycle. The Yangtze …

Crust-and/or mantle-derived igneous rocks in the Neoproterozoic continental magmatic arc
along the western Yangtze Block (South China) have been extensively studied, but the crust …

Western China locates in the eastern section of the Tethys domain, granitic rocks in this

Geological evolution of the Neoproterozoic Kang-Dian Orogenic Belt (KDOB, southwestern
China) attracts great debate in the past decades, due to lack of systematic research on …

Accurately constraining the age and source of primary U mineralization is commonly difficult
as diverse U minerals are affected by α-recoils and subjected to overprints of multi-stage …

Neoproterozoic mafic dyke swarms are an important probe for reconstructing the
evolutionary history of the Rodinia supercontinent. Here, we present detailed …

The tectono-metamorphic mechanism along the margins of the Yangtze Craton in the
