Fossil Subduction Zone Beneath the Eastern Yangtze Craton: Evidence From Seismic Reflections in the Upper Mantle

Geophysical Research Letters
The Yangtze Craton in South China is generally regarded as an Archean‐Paleoproterozoic continental nucleus with a coherent basement that collided with the Cathaysia Block in the Early Neoproterozoic.

Structural boundary and deep contact relationship between the Yangtze and Cathaysia Blocks from crustal thickness gradients

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023
The deep boundary and contact relationship between the Yangtze and Cathaysia Blocks (the major tectonic units of the Southern China Block), as well as the tectonic attributes of the Jiangnan Orogenic Belt, have remained unknown or controversial.

Characteristics of azimuthal anisotropy in SE Tibetan plateau and its relationship with the background of block structure

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023
The southeastern Tibetan Plateau, which includes the Tibetan Plateau, Yangtze Block, and Cathaysia Block, is geotectonically situated in the compound part of the Tethys-Himalayan tectonic domain and the Peninsular Pacific tectonic domain.

Evidence for crustal magma chamber associated with metallogeny based on P-wave velocities, South China

Geosystems and Geoenvironment, 2022
Recent seismic studies presented evidence for mantle upwelling and magmatic intrusions in the Cathaysia Block in South China. However, the key evidence or crustal velocity structure to understand crustal magma chambers that contributed to ore ...

The Ordovician Retroarc Foreland Basin on the Yangtze Block Linked to the Final Assemblage of Gondwana

Lithosphere, 2022
Amalgamation of the Yangtze and Cathaysia blocks in the context of Gondwana assembly in the early Paleozoic has been addressed for decades, but the far-field effects on the Yangtze Block during the amalgamation remain unclear.

Complex Crustal Deformation Beneath the Cathaysia Block in South China: Evidence From Receiver Function Analysis

Earth and Space Science, 2023
By harmonically fitting the arrival times of the P‐to‐S converted phases from the Moho, we systematically investigate the crustal anisotropy beneath the Cathaysia Block (CaB) and the surrounding areas in South China for the first time.

Cenozoic thermal-rheological evolution of the coastal cathaysia block of East Asia: geodynamic implications

International Geology Review, 2022
The thermal-rheological structure of the continental lithosphere is an important indicator of geodynamic processes. Tectonic compression and extension may change thermal-rheological structure of lithosphere. However, the thermal-rheological evolution over geological time may be difficult to determine because of overprints of subsequent geological ...

Late Oligocene Formation of the Pearl River Triggered by the Opening of the South China Sea

Geophysical Research Letters, 2023
The Pearl River is one of the largest rivers entering the South China Sea, yet its initiation time remains debated, a topic we address using Pb isotopes in detrital K‐feldspar.
