“…For the early Mesozoic tectonic evolution, Alpine collision (Hsü et al, 1988), the subduction of the ancient Pacific Plate during the Early Mesozoic (Holloway, 1981; Z. X. Li & Li, 2007; Ren, 1991; Safonova & Santosh, 2014; Wilde, 2015), and remote effects of a collision between the Indosinian Plate and the South China Plate have been proposed (Carter et al, 2001; Faure et al, 2014; Nakano et al, 2008). However, there are no contemporaneous thrusts and island arc volcanic rocks associated with the Alpine collision in South China (Y. Wang et al, 2013).…”
