Paleoproterozoic Plate Tectonics Recorded in the Northern Margin Orogen, North China Craton
The occurrence of plate tectonic processes on Earth during the Paleoproterozoic is supported by ca. 2.2–1.8 Ga subduction‐collision orogens associated with the assembly of the Columbia‐Nuna supercontinent. Subsequent supercontinent breakup is evidence by

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

Highly heterogeneous Late Mesozoic lithospheric mantle beneath the North China Craton: evidence from Sr–Nd–Pb isotopic systematics of mafic igneous rocks [PDF]
The lithospheric mantle beneath the North China Craton changed dramatically in its geophysical and geochemical characteristics from Palaeozoic to Cenozoic times. This study uses samples of Mesozoic basalts and mafic intrusions from the North China Craton

Metamorphic petrology and geology in China: A review
: The development of metamorphic petrology to metamorphic geology in China has a long history. Ancient basement metamorphic rocks are distributed primarily in the North China Craton, the Yangtze Block and Tarim Craton. They are mainly made up of plutonic

Paleomagnetic Study of Mesozoic Continental Sediments Along the Northern Tien Shan (China) and Heterogeneous Strain in Central Asia [PDF]
A paleomagnetic study of rocks from the northern foot of the Tien Shan and the southern border of the Dzungar Basin, east of Urumqi (44.2°N, 86.0°E), spanning ages from middle Jurassic to early Tertiary was carried out to constrain the tectonic evolution

On and Off the North China Craton: Where is the Archaean Keel? [PDF]
Geophysical data indicate that the lithosphere beneath the North China Craton (NCC) is similar to 80 km thick with high heat flow within the craton. This is somewhat in disagreement with the presence of Archaean crustal rocks and kimberlite-hosted xenoliths that point to the existence of garnet-diamond-facies mantle beneath the craton, as recently as ...

Provenance and tectonic implications of the Yanshi bauxite area in Western Henan, China [PDF]
The bauxite layer in Western Henan supplies a large number of bauxite ores and is useful for studying tectonic movement. In this paper, the bauxite samples were selected to carry out LA-ICP-MS detrital zircons U-Pb dating and Hf isotope testing.
