Detrital zircon provenance investigation from the Neoproterozoic successions of the South China Block: Paleogeographic implications

We report U-Pb isotopic data for detrital zircons from the Late Neoproterozoic Dengying Formation on the northern margin of the Yangtze Block and the other published Neoproterozoic U-Pb isotopic data in the South China Block (SCB), which provide critical constraints on the provenance of these sediments and further shed light on the Neoproterozoic paleogeographic evolution of the SCB in the context of the Rodinia and the succeeding Gondwana...
