Abstract:The identification of the Grenvillian‐age ophiolite suites in the Yangtze block in recent years suggested that the northern Yangtze subblock (NYB) and the southern Yangtze subblock (SYB) were once separated by an ocean in late Mesoproterozoic. Although some paleogeographic models advocated the Pre‐Grenvillian connections between the south China blocks and Laurentia, none of them has been paleomagnetically tested. Here we report the new paleomagnetic results obtained from the ∼1,270 Ma purplish‐red muddy dolomi… Show more
