The Yanbian Terrane (Southern Sichuan Province, SW China): A Neoproterozoic arc assemblage in the western margin of the Yangtze Block

Where was the Ailaoshan Ocean and when did it open: A perspective based on detrital zircon U–Pb age and Hf isotope evidence

“…Li, 2003;Zhou et al, 2006;Wang et al, 2011;Cai et al, 2014;Qi et al, 2012Qi et al, , 2014. This belt has recently been suggested as a Neoproterozoic arc (i.e., Hannan-Panxi-Yuanjiang arc), comprising Neoproterozoic (Tonian to Cryogenian; 880-720 Ma) arc-related igneous rocks (Zhou et al, 2002b(Zhou et al, , 2006Sun et al, 2008Sun et al, , 2009). Western Yangtze Block had experienced another episode of intense magmatism during the emplacement of the Late Permian (~260 Ma) Emeishan Large Igneous Province (ELIP) (Chung and Jahn, 1995;Shellnutt and Zhou, 2007;Shellnutt et al, 2008;Xu et al, 2008).…”

Zircon U-Pb geochronology and heavy mineral composition constraints on the provenance of the middle Miocene deep-water reservoir sedimentary rocks in the Yinggehai-Song Hong Basin, South China Sea

“…Archean and Proterozoic basement rocks have been recognized in southern Yangtze Block with zircon U-Pb ages at 2800e2300 Ma and 1700e2100 Ma (Qiu et al, 2000;Metcalfe, 2006;Zheng et al, 2006). Neoproterozoic magmatism (1000e700 Ma), including granites, volcanic rocks and ophiolites, occurred sporadically around the Yangtze Block (Li, 1999;Zhou et al, 2002Zhou et al, , 2006Xiao et al, 2007;Ye et al, 2007), which probably produced by the pre-breakup of Rodinia and subsequent migration of South China (Zhou et al, 2002;. U-Pb ages of Late Paleozoic igneous rocks in the Youjiang Basin and Song Chay Massif (Fig.…”
