“…In early investigations on the geodynamics of the South China Sea (SCS), magnetic anomalies were essential to determining the ages and stages of seafloor spreading [8][9][10][11][12][13], seamount magnetism, and directions of plate movement [14], but these early studies were based primarily on a very limited number of magnetic tracks that were often far spaced, thus leaving a large margin of uncertainties in estimated oceanic crustal ages and seamount magnetism. In recent years, with the publication of the East Asia Magnetic Anomaly Dataset [15], high-resolution magnetic anomaly maps in the SCS are compiled [16][17][18][19], and high-resolution 3D analytical signal amplitudes and Curie point depths are calculated and mapped [17,20]. This magnetic anomaly dataset is based on measurements by multiple platforms at different time, with varying degrees of noise suppression, and no previous effort has been made in estimating the opening ages of the SCS based on this comprehensive database.…”

“…For example, the opening of the East and Northwest Subbasins may have predated or been synchronous with that of the Southwest Subbasin ( Figure F5A) (Taylor and Hayes, 1983;Briais et al, 1993;Lee and Lawver, 1995;Tongkul, 1994;Honza, 1995;Zhou et al, 1995;Schlüter et al, 1996;Hall, 2002;Hall and Morley, 2004;Hayes and Nissen, 2005;Braitenberg et al, 2006;Sun et al, 2009). This model contrasts with others in which earlier opening of the Southwest Subbasin is preferred ( Figure F5B) (e.g., Ru and Pigott, 1986;Yao et al, 1994;Li et al, 2007a). This latter group of models considers the sharp contrasts between the East and Southwest Subbasins and the important role of the Zhongnan fault ( Figures F2, F4).…”

“…In particular, magnetic amplitudes and orientations in the Southwest Subbasin (Zone E) differ markedly from those in the East Subbasin (Zone D). These two subbasins are divided by a complex set of transform faults forming the Zhongnan fault zone (Figures F2, F4) (Yao, 1995;Jin et al, 2002;Li et al, 2007aLi et al, , 2008b. This magnetic contrast may support an episodic seafloor-spreading model (Ru and Pigott, 1986) or may be attributed to the different tectonic contexts within which the two subbasins evolved.…”
