The Neoproterozoic–Early Paleozoic tectonic evolution of the South China Block: An overview [PDF]
Journal of Asian Earth Sciences, 2013 Abstract This paper gives a brief review of what I consider as the state of the art regarding the largely accepted data and ideas concerning the Proterozoic to Early Paleozoic tectonic evolution of South China. The South China craton was built by the welding of the Yangtze and Cathaysia blocks, with a different previous history giving a different pre-

Stromatoporoids from a Middle Devonian reef in South China and their palaeoecological implication [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2022 Stromatoporoids are the major constructors of a Givetian (Middle Devonian) fossil reef in shallow marine facies, in the Jiwozhai Member of the Dushan Formation, at Dahekou, near Dushan, Guizhou Province, South China.

Resolving the Tectonic Setting of South China in the Late Paleozoic
Geophysical Research Letters, 2022 The tectonic setting of South China during the late Paleozoic is essential to understanding the geodynamics off the eastern margin of Pangea supercontinent due to its unique paleo‐position at the confluence of the Paleo‐Tethys and Panthalassic oceans ...

Seismological reference earth model in South China (SREM-SC): Crust and uppermost mantle
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023 The South China Block is located on the eastern margin of the Eurasian Plate and the western margin of the Pacific Plate. The South China Block is currently in a tectonically compressed environment, while the Tibetan Plateau is moving eastward and the ...

Where is the North China–South China block boundary in eastern China? [PDF]
Geology, 2001 The Qinling-Dabieshan belt results from the collision of the North China and South China blocks. The eastern extension of the belt (the Sulu area) consists of several stacked units: from top to bottom, these are (1) a weakly metamorphosed slate-sandstone unit of Neoproterozoic-Paleozoic age, (2) a gneiss-quartzite unit metamorphosed under high-pressure

Petrogenesis and geological significance of migmatitic gneiss in Mulantou area, Hainan Island
Dizhi lixue xuebao, 2023 In the coastal area of Pujian to Mulantou on Hainan Island, a set of medium to deep metamorphic rocks (Mulantou complex) has been discovered, composed of migmatite, dolomite, shale, and amphibolite, with migmatite being the predominant lithology.

The South China block-Indochina collision: Where, when, and how? [PDF]
Journal of Asian Earth Sciences, 2014 This study uses new field observations and existing studies to shed new light on the origin and significance of two NW-SE striking orogens in NW and NE Vietnam. We conclude that the architecture of each belt is a stack of NE-directed nappes formed either under deep ductile synmetamorphic conditions, or under shallow depth in the SW and NE parts ...
