Neoproterozoic tectonic evolution of the Hongseong area, southwestern Gyeonggi Massif, South Korea; implication for the tectonic evolution of Northeast Asia

Was the easternmost segment of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt derived from Gondwana or Siberia: An intriguing dilemma?

“…It was renamed the Qingling-Dabie-Tanlu-SuluImjiangang-Yanji zone (Zhang, 1997(Zhang, , 2004Zhang et al, 2006) and this interpretation was supported by Oh (2006) and Oh et al (2006Oh et al ( , 2009) based on an evaluation of the Korean data. Tsujimori (2001, 2003) further suggested that the Yanji zone could be linked with the Heilongjiang blueschist belt (Yanji-Heilongjiang HP belt; see Figs.…”

Tectonometamorphic evolution of the Permo-Triassic Songrim (Indosinian) orogeny: evidence from the late Paleozoic Pyeongan Supergroup in the northeastern Taebaeksan Basin, South Korea

“…10; Chough et al 2000;Ree et al 2001;Han et al 2006). The Songrim (Indosinian) orogeny is often regarded as the eastward continuation of the ultra-high pressure metamorphism in the Qinling-Dabie-Sulu suture zone, passing via the Imjingang belt (Ree et al 1996;Cho et al 2007; Kwon et al 2009) and/or the northern and southern Gyeonggi massif (Oh 2006;Oh et al 2009) in south Korea, although these tectonic scenarios are still controversial (Yin and Nie 1993;Ree et al 2001;Cho and Kim 2005;Han et al 2006;de Jong et al 2009). Also, the Late Permian to Early Triassic tectonic events are not only limited to the collision between the North and South China blocks, but also affect the collision of the eastern Eurasia landmass (Yin and Nie 1993;Cho and Kim 2005;de Jong et al 2009;Kim and Ree 2010).…”

Late Neoproterozoic thermal events in the northern Lhasa terrane, south Tibet: Zircon chronology and tectonic implications

“…Neoproterozoic magmatism is widespread in several continental fragments including Australia, Laurentia, South China, South Korea, India and Tarim (e.g., Powell et al, 1994;Heaman et al, 1992;Su et al, 1994;Zhao et al, 1994;Fetter and Goldberg, 1995;Park et al, 1995;Lee et al, 1998Lee et al, , 2003Li et al, 1999Li et al, , 2002aLi et al, ,b, 2005Li et al, , 2006Li et al, , 2008aBhushan, 2000;Preiss, 2000;Frimmel et al, 2001;Ashwal et al, 2002;Ling et al, 2003;Shellnutt et al, 2004;Xu et al, 2005;Rino et al, 2008;Stern, 2008;Condie et al, 2009;Oh et al, 2009;Zhang et al, 2006Zhang et al, , 2009bZheng et al, 2009;Dharma Rao et al, 2010;Just et al, 2011).
