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 …

The correlation between Neoproterozoic tectonics, paleoenvironment and early life are
crucial for understanding the evolution of the Earth's habitability. The Yangtze Block …

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

The Neoproterozoic assembly and break-up of Rodinia have not only caused
reconfiguration of the global tectonic architecture of oceans and continents, but also led to …

Zircon is a widely-used heavy mineral in geochronological and geochemical research
because it can extract important information to understand the history and genesis of rocks …

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 late Mesoproterozoic to early Neoproterozoic sedimentary sequences in the
southwestern Yangtze Block, represented by the Julin, Huili, and Kunyang groups, provide …

Abstract The Yangtze Block exemplifies the gradual formation of cratons since the Archean,
and its pre-Neoproterozoic basement constitution needs to be clarified by a study of the …

Deciphering the geochemical diversity of S-type granites is crucial for obtaining more
profound insight into their petrogenesis. We therefore undertook an integrated study of …

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