Destruction of the North China craton in the Mesozoic
The North China Craton (NCC) was originally formed by the amalgamation of the eastern
and western blocks along an orogenic belt at∼ 1.9 Ga. After cratonization, the NCC was …

Temporal and spatial variations of Mesozoic magmatism and deformation in the North China Craton: Implications for lithospheric thinning and decratonization
Abstract Mesozoic (Triassic–Cretaceous) magmatic rocks and structural deformation are
widely distributed in the North China Craton (NCC) and are crucial to understanding the …
