Geochronology of Neoproterozoic syn-rift magmatism in the Yangtze Craton, South China and correlations with other continents: evidence for a mantle superplume that broke up Rodinia

Geochronology of Neoproterozoic syn-rift magmatism in the Yangtze Craton, South China and correlations with other continents: evidence for a mantle superplume that broke up Rodinia

Neoproterozoic granitic intrusions in South China have traditionally been interpreted as related to orogenesis, marking thecratonisation of the Yangtze Block. However, a number of ca. 830-820 Ma granitoids and mafic-ultramafic intrusions unconformablyoverlain by Neoproterozoic rift successions have...
