Pangea is the youngest supercontinent in Earth's history and its main body formed by
assembly of Gondwana and Laurasia about 300–250 Ma ago. As supported by voluminous …

The formation of collisional orogens is a prominent feature in convergent plate margins. It is
generally a complex process involving multistage tectonism of compression and extension …

Continental China is a mosaic of numerous tectonic blocks, which amalgamated from
Neoarchean to Cenozoic broadly coeval with the cycles of global supercontinents such as …

Chemical geodynamics is an integrated discipline that studies the geochemical structure
and tectonic evolution of geospheres with the aim of linking tectonic processes to …

Discovery of coesite, diamond, and extreme 18O-depletion in eclogites from the Dabie–Sulu
orogen in central-east China has contributed much to our understanding of subduction of …

To date, few adakitic rocks have been reported in direct association with contemporary intra-
continental extensional structures, which has cast doubt on genetic models involving partial …

ABSTRACT The Mongol-Okhotsk Ocean closed when the Amuria block, normally
considered to have been part of the North China block since the early Mesozoic, and the …

Zircon U–Pb dating, Hf and O isotope analyses were carried out for ultrahigh-pressure
eclogite and felsic gneiss from the Dabie orogen in China. The results provide constraints on …

Adakites are commonly associated with porphyry Cu–Au ore deposits worldwide. Two
groups of early Cretaceous adakites occur widely in central-eastern China but their …

The geological implications of granitoid magmas with high Sr/Y and La/Yb are debated
because these signatures can be produced by multiple processes. This study presents …
