We present a review of major gold mineralization events in China and a summary of
metallogenic provinces, deposit types, metallogenic epochs and tectonic settings. Over 200 …

This paper aims at exploring the tectonic characteristics of the South China Continent (SCC)
and extracting the universal tectonic rules from these characteristics, to help enrich the plate …

The time scale for marine magnetic anomalies for the Late Cretaceous through Neogene (C-
sequence) and Middle Jurassic through Early Cretaceous (M-sequence with deep-tow …

This paper presents new major and trace-element data and Lu–Hf and Sm–Nd isotopic
compositions for representative suites of marine sediment samples from 14 drill sites …

Long-term couplings between the subducting and overlying plates are very important to
understanding plate tectonics, in particular intraplate evolutions. Geological records of this …

When Harry Hess first proposed the theory of seafloor spreading, he imagined that mantle
peridotite upwelling at midocean ridges reacted with water to form a serpentinite oceanic …

Mesozoic volcanism is widespread throughout northeastern China, but precise
geochronological constraints were previously lacking. Twenty samples, including basalt and …

Abstract The Lower Yangtze river belt is one of the most important metallogenic belts in
China. The mechanisms responsible for ore genesis and the formation of related …

The Pacific Ocean evolved from the Panthalassic Ocean that was first formed ca 750 Ma with
the rifting apart of Rodinia. By 160 Ma, the first ocean floor ascribed to the current Pacific …

Ammonites underwent an evolutionary diversification after the mass extinction of the end
Triassic induced by the formation of a Large Igneous province (LIP), and this group provides …
