A discovery of extremely REE-rich kimberlites: A possible new type of REE-deposit
Two newly discovered Mesozoic Group II kimberlites in the southeastern margin of North China Craton show extremely high ΣREE contents (ranging from 1046 to 1869 ppm), which also higher than the nearby Weishan carbonatite and other REE-bearing rocks in ...

Lithotectonic elements and geological events in the Hengshan-Wutai-Fuping belt: A synthesis and implications for the evolution of the Trans-North China Orogen [PDF]
The Hengshan-Wutai-Fuping belt is located in the middle segment of the Trans-North China Orogen, a Palaeoproterozoic continental collisional belt along which the Eastern and Western blocks amalgamated to form the North China Craton.

Lower crust-derived granitic rocks provide constraints on the crustal reworking process and consequently give hints on the destruction mechanism of the cratons. The North China Craton (NCC) underwent extensive crustal melting in the Mesozoic.

Seismological structure of the 1.8 Ga Trans-Hudson Orogen of North America [PDF]
Precambrian tectonic processes are debated: what was the nature and scale of orogenic events on the younger, hotter, and more ductile Earth? Northern Hudson Bay records the Paleoproterozoic collision between the Western Churchill and Superior plates—the ∼

Study on the basement structure in the southeastern North China by blasting seismic
Since the Mesozoic, southeastern North China Craton has experienced intense crustal thinning and lithosphere destruction. Some of the responses of the deep activity in the upper crust crystalline basement have been retained in a series of tectonic ...

LA-ICP-MS U-Pb geochronology of detrital zircons from the Jining Complex, North China Craton and its tectonic significance [PDF]
LA-ICP-MS U-Pb zircon dating and cathodoluminescene (CL) image analysis were carried out to determine the protolith and metamorphic ages of high-grade Al-rich gneisses, named as "khondalites", from the Jining Complex of the North China Craton (NCC).
