“…Scotese & McKerrow, 1990;Veevers, 2000Veevers, , 2004 and, assuming that the Cambrian Himalayan margin was continuous along strike and that Bhutan was part of it, as the stratigraphic and detrital zircon analyses suggest, this faunal association described herein would favour placement of the outboard North China block in relatively close proximity. This contrasts with other models in which North China is placed adjacent to eastern Australia or even further around the Gondwanan margin, adjacent to the Ross Sea margin of Antarctica (Huang et al 2000;Li & Powell, 2001).…”

“…Paleomagnetic investigations indicate that the latitude of the North China block during the Early Cambrian was ~17°S (Huang et al, 2000), which is consistent with the predominance of warm shallow-water carbonate lithofacies in the North China block's Cambrian sedimentary units. Burrett and Richardson (1980) presented the North China block as an outboard terrane at a low northern latitude, proximal to Australia, during the Early Cambrian.…”

“…The interbedding of various carbonate lithofacies and shale, combined with a low paleolatitude (Huang et al, 2000), indicate that the setting was a warm, shallow-water setting in which the production of carbonate near the shoreline was interrupted episodically by fi ne-grained terrigenous input from the Ordos highlands. Thus, a proximal siliciclastic mud-dominated detrital belt formed, with carbonate production likely distal to it.…”

“…As shown in Figure 3, the Lower Cambrian Yuertusi Formation comprises a variety of lithologies, including phosphorite, chert, shale, argillaceous dolomite and dolomite; in contrast, the overlying Xiaoerbulak and Wusongger formations are composed mainly of micritic and fine-grained dolomite (Sun et al, 2004;Yu et al, 2004). With respect to the Middle Cambrian Shayilik Formation, it is composed of micritic and fine-grained dolomite in the lower part, and limestone and dolomite-bearing limestone in the upper Wotte et al (2007), Huang et al (2000), and Fang and Shen (2001). It shows that the Tarim Basin (shaded area) and South China were located in a similar low-latitude position during the time interval.…”
