TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented an overview of key geological observations in the South China Block with respect to its Phanerozoic tectonics, and proposed a geodynamic model for the Mesozoic evolution of the SCB, which is characterized by strong thrusting/transpression, anatexic granitic magmatism, high-grade metamorphism and the poor involvement of the juvenile mantle derived rocks.
1,034 citations
TL;DR: The Qinling orogen preserves a record of late mid-Proterozoic to Cenozoic tectonism in central China as mentioned in this paper, where high pressure metamorphism and ophiolite emplacement assembled the Yangtze craton, including the lower Qinling unit, into Rodinia during the ∼1.0 Ga Grenvillian orogeny.
896 citations
TL;DR: In this paper, a large-scale orogenic lode gold (Au) mineralization occurred contemporaneously with an abrupt change of ~ 80° in the drifting direction of the subducting Pacific plate, concurrent with the formation of the Ontong Java Plateau.
776 citations
TL;DR: The geologic history of the ANS during this period provides insight into the closing developmental stages of one of the world's largest accretionary orogens as mentioned in this paper, which is known as the Arabian-Nubian Shield (ANS).
691 citations
TL;DR: The role of deformation in enhancing segregation of melt is discussed in this article, where the authors emphasize the role of ductile shear zones and fault systems in the ascent and emplacement of granite magma.
