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 …

Abstract The Neoproterozoic Jiangnan Orogen in South China records a succession of arc-
trench-basin assemblages culminating in accretion of the bounding Yangtze and Cathaysia …

The history of the South China Craton and the constituent Yangtze and Cathaysia blocks are
directly linked to Earth's Phanerozoic and Precambrian record of supercontinent assembly …

As a complex paleo-ocean located between the Tarim-North China and the
Sibumasu/Baoshan blocks, the Proto-Tethys Ocean was opened from the rifting of the …

Abstract The evolution of South China involved accretion-collision of multiple terranes from
the Proterozoic to the Mesozoic. Zircon U-Pb ages, Hf data, and structural data indicate that …

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 …

This paper presents petrography, zircon U–Pb ages and Hf isotopic data as well as whole-
rock Sm–Nd isotopic data for mafic granulites, metapelitic rocks and high-grade marble from …

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

Abstract The newly identified Cuoke Complex preserves voluminous early Precambrian
granitoids, bearing key information for the early evolution of the Yangtze Block, South China …

The Jiangnan orogenic belt in South China, formed by the collision of the Yangtze and
Cathaysia sub-blocks, represents a key to reconstruct the assembly of the Rodinia …
