Abstract: Abstract The Kongling Terrane, which is the Archean nucleus of the Yangtze craton, preserves Paleoarchean-Proterozoic rocks as old as 3.45 Ga. However, the dominant stage of formation of this Archean terrane remains unclear. In this paper,… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract The tuff layer steadily distributed in the western Yangtze Craton is a regional marker for the Early–Middle Triassic (Olenekian–Anisian) boundary. Integrated studies of whole-rock geochemistry and zircon geochronology reveal that the parental magma of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.precamres.2017.03.004
Abstract: Abstract We document for the first time the presence of a Paleoproterozoic ophiolitic melange in the Archean–Paleoproterozoic Kongling Complex in the northern Huangling Dome, Yangtze craton, South China. Detailed field mapping, petrographic, geochronological and geochemical… read more here.
