No Yangtze River Prior to the Late Miocene: Evidence From Detrital Muscovite and K‐Feldspar 40Ar/39Ar Geochronology
Abstract The Yangtze River is the largest river in Asia and its age and evolution has been
the subject of debate for more than one century. Here, we applied a combination of detrital …
