“…1). The YGHeSH Basin is an important petroleumbearing province and is developed overlying an Mesozoic basement (Gong and Li, 1997;Xia et al, 1998). The basin differs in its tectonic development and sedimentary evolution from other Cenozoic basins on the northern continental margin of South China Sea (Clift and Sun, 2006;Gong and Li, 1997;Ren et al, 2002;Sun et al, 2003;Figure 1.…”

“…However, most of previous surveys on the deep crust over this vast area were carried out on land [5,6] and in sea [7∼12] separately. In addition, high resolution multi-channel seismic surveys were aimed to access the hydrocarbon potential [13,14] . The transitional zone between sea and land has still been a blank gap in deep seismic surveys.…”

The onshore‐offshore deep seismic experiment was carried out for the first time and filled in the gap of the seismic surveys in the transition area between South China and northeastern South China Sea. The seismic data were analyzed and processed. The different seismic phases were identified and their travel time arrivals were modeled by the ray‐tracing program MacRay to study the P‐wave velocity crustal structure. The result shows that the crustal structure of this area has the feature of the continental crust. The crustal thickness is gradually decreasing southward along the onshore‐offshore seismic line. A low‐velocity layer (5.5‐5.9km·s−1) of 2.5‐4.0km thickness exists generally in the middle crust (at about 10.0‐18.0km depth), and is also thinning seaward. No obvious high‐velocity layer appears in the lower crust. The Binhai (littoral) fault zone in this crustal structure is revealed as a low velocity zone, which is located about 35.0km southeast to the Nan'ao station and corresponding to the gradient belts of gravity and magnetic anomalies. The depth of the Binhai fault zone extends down close to the Moho discontinuity, which is the boundary between the normal continental crust of South China and the thinning continental crust of the sea area.

“…Together with geophysical modeling, some basic characteristics of the basement have been revealed [1][2][3][4][5][6] . The deep crustal structure of the northern SCS has been imaged by wide-angle seismic profiling along 9 sections during the last two decades [7][8][9][10][11] . Lately, gravity and magnetic data of the area were re-processed by Wang 1) and Wang and Zhang 2) .…”

A segment of Mesozoic subduction-accretion zone was inferred across the northeastern South China Sea at approximately NE45° orientation. Basic evidence includes the following: A belt of peek gross horizontal Bouguer gravity gradient (PGHGBA) is comparable in size and intensity to that of the Manila subduction-accretion zone. A belt of high positive magnetic anomalies appears to the north and sub-parallel to the PGHGBA, representing the volcanic arc associated to the subduction zone. The PGHGBA crosses obliquely both Cenozoic structures and present seafloor topography, indicating a pre-Cenozoic age. The segment is offset left-laterally by NW-running strike-slip faults, in concord with the Mesozoic stress field of South China. In addition, the existence of the subduction zone is supported by wide-angle seismic data obtained in different years by different institutions. At approximate localities, a north-dipping ramp of Moho surface is indicated by records of ocean-bottom seismometers, and a strong reflector about 8 km beneath the Moho reflector is indicated by both OBS and long-cable seismic records. The identification of a segment of Mesozoic subduction zone in NE South China Sea fills nicely the gap of the Great Late Mesozoic Circum SE Asia Subduction-acrretion Zone, which extended from Sumatra, Java, SE Kalimantan to N Palawan, and from Taiwan, Ryukyu to SW Japan.
