The rhyolitic ignimbrite and K‐feldspar granite porphyry from the Wangmushan mining district, northern Fujian yield ages of 173.8 ± 0.8 and 102.6 ± 0.4 Ma, respectively. Geochemical data, zircon trace elements, whole‐rock Sr–Nd–Pb isotope data, and zircon Hf isotopic compositions indicate that the rhyolitic ignimbrite originated from partial remelting ...

Late Quaternary lake filling and drying in northern Australia's largest freshwater lake
ABSTRACT Lake Woods, Jurrkulu, is northern Australia's largest freshwater lake filled today in strong Indo–Australian summer monsoons (IASM) to maximum depths of ~5 m. On the western margins of the lake, two large arcuate ridges occur 20 to 40 m above the lake floor and inset within these are other mid‐elevation lake deposits, such as depositional ...

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
