Petrogenesis of Dacites in a Triassic Volcanic Arc in the South China Sea: Constraints From Whole Rock and Mineral Geochemistry

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022
Triassic volcanic rocks, including basalts and dacites, were drilled from Meiji Atoll in the South China Sea (SCS), which represents a rifted slice from the active continental margin along the Cathaysia Block.

Rotation and Uplift of the Taoxi Dome and Its Implication for the Evolution of Wuyi Terranes in Cathaysia Block

Minerals, 2022
The Taoxi dome stands out as a rotated-circular structure on maps of the Wuyi terrane, south China. The origin and tectonic activity analysis of the Taoxi dome is a window to understand the tectonic framework and aggregation process of the Wuyi terranes in the Cathaysia block.

Lithospheric Conductivity Structure in the Middle Segment of the Jiangnan Orogenic Belt: Insights into Neoproterozoic Tectonic–Magmatic Processes [PDF]

Lithosphere
The Jiangnan Orogenic Belt (JOB) evolved from the Yangtze and Cathaysia blocks through multi-stage oceanic-continental subduction, collisional orogeny, and intracontinental deformation, which is an important region to study the formation and evolution of

Origin and implication of two newly identified peraluminous A-type granites in the early Paleozoic orogeny, Southeast Asia

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023
: The amalgamation of the Yangtze and the Cathaysia Block in Neoproterozoic time led to the formation of the South China Block (SCB) and generated the Jiangnan Orogen with the occurrences of juvenile magmatic rocks.

Magnetotelluric Evidence for Lithospheric Alteration Beneath the Wuyi‐Yunkai Orogen: Implications for Thermal Structure of South China

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2022
The Wuyi‐Yunkai Orogen experienced a polyphase tectonomagmatism and is a key region for deciphering the alteration and thermal structure of the South China Block lithosphere. Herein, an electrical resistivity model of the lithosphere is presented via the

Late Jurassic Leucogranites of Macau (SE China): A Record of Crustal Recycling During the Early Yanshanian Orogeny

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2020
The Yanshanian Orogeny consists of Jurassic to Cretaceous compressional-extensional cycles related to the subduction of the Paleo-Pacific Ocean beneath East Asia. Numerous granitic plutons were emplaced across southeast China at distinct intervals over a

A review of the Late Mesozoic magmatic arc in Borneo with slab subduction models

Shiyou shiyan dizhi, 2020
Borneo is at the critical junction of two tectonic domains. The Schwaner magma arc and the Meratus and Lupar subduction complexes are the prominent features of Borneo in the Late Mesozoic, which result from the subduction of Tethys or/and paleo-Pacific ...
