“…Archean and Proterozoic basement rocks have been recognized in southern Yangtze Block with zircon U-Pb ages at 2800e2300 Ma and 1700e2100 Ma (Qiu et al, 2000;Metcalfe, 2006;Zheng et al, 2006). Neoproterozoic magmatism (1000e700 Ma), including granites, volcanic rocks and ophiolites, occurred sporadically around the Yangtze Block (Li, 1999;Zhou et al, 2002Zhou et al, , 2006Xiao et al, 2007;Ye et al, 2007), which probably produced by the pre-breakup of Rodinia and subsequent migration of South China (Zhou et al, 2002;. U-Pb ages of Late Paleozoic igneous rocks in the Youjiang Basin and Song Chay Massif (Fig.…”
