Post-kinematic lithospheric delamination of the Wuyi–Yunkai orogen in South China: Evidence from ca. 435 Ma high-Mg basalts

Understanding the processes responsible for the intra-plate early Paleozoic Wuyi–Yunkai orogeny (> 460 Ma to 420–415 Ma) in the South China Block (SCB) is important for deducing the interactions of this block with other continents at that time, as well as the tectonic evolution of East Asia. One...
