Where is the North China–South China block boundary in eastern China?: Comment and Reply

Geology, 2002
Where is the boundary between the North China block and the South China block in the Sulu area? The answer to this question is important for understanding the ultrahigh-pressure ( P ) collisional process and tectonic framework of northeast Asia.

Yangtze Craton, Cathaysia and the South China Block

2012
The Yangzte Craton and Cathaysia were amalgamated, along a northeast-southwest trending fold belt or tectonic zone (Jiangshan-Shaoxing suture; Jiangnan orogen), following north-directed subduction between the Mesoproterozoic and Early Palaeozoic. Together they form the South China Block, separated from the North China Craton by the Qinling-Dabie ...

Magmatic records of subduction and closure of the Paleo-South China Ocean and subsequent rifting in the South China Block

Geological Society of America Bulletin
Abstract The South China Block, which comprises the Yangtze and Cathaysia blocks amalgamated along the Jiangnan orogen, is key to understanding early to middle Neoproterozoic era tectonic evolution. However, the timing and subduction processes involved in the closure of the Paleo-South China Ocean (a northeast-southwest–trending ...

Timing of collision of the North and South China blocks: Controversy and reconciliation

Geology, 1999
The Qinling orogen was formed by the joining of the North and South China blocks, but the timing of their integration has been debated for more than a decade. The controversies obviously stem from different approaches to reconstruction of the integration history.

Astronomical calibration of the Middle Ordovician of the Yangtze Block, South China

Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, 2018
Abstract Establishing a high-precision numerical geological time scale for the Paleozoic Era remains a considerable challenge. In this study, we conducted detailed cyclostratigraphic analysis on the Middle Ordovician of the Huangnitang section and the core Changjin 3 (CJ-3), Zhejiang Province, South China.

Cooling of the lithosphere beneath the Nansha Block, South China Sea

Journal of Asian Earth Sciences, 2019
Abstract Throughout the Late Cretaceous and Cenozoic, the Nansha Block experienced stretching and extension and moved southwards away from the South China continent. As an exotic micro-continent, the Nansha Block has markedly different lithospheric rheological properties from its surrounding regions.

Carboniferous paleogeography and paleoenvironment between the North and South China blocks in eastern China

Journal of Southeast Asian Earth Sciences, 1989
Abstract North and South China have experienced different processes of geological developments and are separated by the complicated Qinling-Dabie collision zone. Many geologists believe that their collision occurred in the Indosinian or Hercynian-Indosinian stage.

Basement structures underneath the northern South Yellow Sea basin (East China): Implications for the collision between the North China and South China blocks

Journal of Asian Earth Sciences, 2019
Abstract The South Yellow Sea basin (SYSB), as the eastern part of the Yangtze Block, has undergone multiple tectonic events since the formation of its basement. The North China-South China collision affected intensely the structures of the basin. The relationship between the deep structures in the basement and collisional orogeny has long been a ...

Late Jurassic magmatism in the interior South China Block and its implication

Journal of the Geological Society, 2019
The NE–SW-trending Qin-Hang Belt and east–west-trending Nanling Range are two critical magmatic and mineralization zones in the southeastern South China Block (SCB). However, the formation timing and petrogenesis of the magmatism in these zones, along with the relationship with the Pacific subduction, remain hotly debated.
