Was there a Cambrian ocean in South China? – Insight from detrital provenance analyses

We use detrital provenance data from Cambrian sandstones to examine whether the Yangtze and Cathaysia blocks in South China were separated by an ocean during the Cambrian period. Zircons from the Cambrian sandstones exhibit a dominant ~800 Ma age peak in the central Yangtze Block, being sourced from...
