Gold mineralization and metallogenesis associated with mantle dynamics in East China

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022
East China can be divided into two parts: the North China Block (or North China Craton) (NCC) and the South China Block (SCB). The mechanism for the destruction of the NCC and the large-scale magmatic activity in the SCB during the Mesozoic is a major ...

Deconvolving the pre-Himalayan Indian margin – tales of crustal growth and destruction [PDF]

, 2018
The metamorphic core of the Himalaya is composed of Indian cratonic rocks with two distinct crustal affinities that are defined by radiogenic isotopic geochemistry and detrital zircon age spectra.

Ultramafic xenoliths from the Bearpaw Mountains, Montana, USA: evidence for multiple metasomatic events in the lithospheric mantle beneath the Wyoming craton [PDF]

, 2004
Ultramafic xenoliths in Eocene minettes of the Bearpaw Mountains volcanic field (Montana, USA), derived from the lower lithosphere of the Wyoming craton, can be divided based on textural criteria into tectonite and cumulate groups. The tectonites consist

Mesozoic Tectono-Thermal Event of the Qinshui Basin, Central North China Craton: Insights From Illite Crystallinity and Vitrinite Reflectance

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021
The Qinshui Basin is in the Central Orogenic Belt of the North China Craton (NCC), and the production of coalbed methane accounts for 70% of China’s total coalbed methane output.

Tidal flat deposits of the Lower Proterozoic Campbell Group along the southwestern margin of the Kaapvaal Craton, Northern Cape Province, South Africa [PDF]

, 1991
Lower Proterozoic stromatolites and associated clastic carbonate deposits of the Campbell Group, from the southern margin (Prieska area) of the Kaapvaal Craton, northern Cape Province, are described.

Crustal structure beneath the central and western North China from receiver function analysis

Earthquake Science, 2022
The North China Craton (NCC) is one of the oldest cratons on earth. Several important tectonic transformations of Mesozoic-Cenozoic tectonic regime led to the destruction of the North China craton. The knowledge of crustal structure can provide important

Neogene-Quaternary post-rift tectonic reactivation of the Bohai Bay Basin, eastern China [PDF]

, 2014
Bohai Bay Basin, located in eastern China, is considered a Cenozoic rifted basin. The basin is atypical in terms of its Neogene–Quaternary postrift subsidence history in that it experienced intensive tectonic reactivation, rather than the relative ...
