The 600–580 Ma continental rift basalts in North Qilian Shan, northwest China: Links between the Qilian-Qaidam block and SE Australia, and the reconstruction of East Gondwana

We report a sequence of thick, well-preserved basaltic lavas interlayered with shallow marine dolomitic carbonates, mudstones and siltstones of the Zhulongguan Group, in the western segment of the North Qilian orogen, northwest China. Two new zircon SIMS ages show that this sequence formed at ~600–5...
