South China Sea documents the transition from wide continental rift to continental break up
During extension, the continental lithosphere thins and breaks up, forming either wide or
narrow rifts depending on the thermo-mechanical state of the extending lithosphere. Wide …

Large volume of magma involved in South China Sea rifting: Implication for mantle breakup earlier than crust
Rheological differences may lead to discrepant thinning order of the crust and lithospheric
mantle when the continent is passively stretched. The crust breaks up earlier than the …

The tectono-stratigraphic and magmatic evolution of conjugate rifted margins: Insights from the NW South China Sea
This study is based on a careful analysis of high-quality reflection seismic sections located at
the tip of the NW South China Sea V-shaped rift basin. Using the CGN-1 section, a seismic …

The syn‐rift tectono‐stratigraphic record of rifted margins (Part II): A new model to break through the proximal/distal interpretation frontier
One fundamental lesson from the last decade's research into rifted margins is that
stratigraphic horizons cannot be simply correlated from the proximal into distal domain …

Extension discrepancy of the hyper‐thinned continental crust in the baiyun rift, northern margin of the South China Sea
At rifted continental margins, it has been widely reported that the amount of extension
measured from faulting is less than the one observed from crustal and lithospheric thinning …
