The 2.5 Ga Guyang greenstone belt is a major lithological unit in the northwestern part of the North China Craton.Komatiites have recently been identified to occur within the lower part of the meta-volcanic sedimentar...
Podiform chromite deposits are a characteristic feature of the mantle sequences of harzburgitic ophiolites. The chromites usually have very low Re and high Os con- tents, which makes it the most resistant phase remain...

After the new 1︰1000000 aero magnetic data were processed and the three-dimensional inversion work was carried out, a vast high magnetic body northwestward was discovered. The magnetic body is located at the depth of...
Sm Nd isotopic compositions of associated amphibolites, TTG gneisses and granitic gneisses from the Archean Kongling Complex of the Yangtze Craton, South China are systematically analyzed. The results show that the am...
Archean rocks are widespread in North China and constitute an essential part of the Sino-Korean Craton which is one of the oldest continental blocks. Recently major representative Archean metavolcanites in North China...
The origin, development and evolution of South China crust is an unsolved problem. Based on the published zircon U-Pb ages and Sm-Nd model ages, the crust-formation age in this terrane is younger than 1.8—2.0 Ga. Whe...
