This Proterozoic crustal block evolved throughout the Calymmian-Tonian and has been traditionally included within the Rodinian realm. However, several aspects, such as its paleoposition and the occurrence of AMCG magmatism during the final stages of Rodinia’s consolidation, are still a matter of debate. In this work, we present new whole-rock geochemical and LA-ICP-MS U-Pb zircon geochronological data for the Huitzo suite from the northern Oaxacan Complex, one of the most extensive outcrops of AMCG rocks in Oaxaquia. This information allowed us to reinterpret the tectonic evolution of Oaxaquia during the Stenian-Tonian interval and refine its role in the amalgamation process of Rodinia. The massif-type anorthosite intrusions under study are alkalic, Ba-Sr-rich, devoid of olivine, and exhibit antiperthitic feldspars. These features resemble several anorthosite complexes exposed in present-d ay southeastern Laurentia. The U-Pb geochronological data demonstrate the existence of AMCG pulses between 1015–960 Ma that are contemporary to the late- to post-orogenic Laurentian anorthositic-granitic activity. These new insights suggest a space–time relationship between Oaxaquia and Laurentia that challenges the traditional Amazonia-Oaxaquia-Baltica link. We propose that Oaxaquia was caught in the collision zone between Laurentia and Amazonia as Rodinia was being assembled. During this process, Oaxaquia was positioned near the easternmost part of the Grenville Province, a region with a similar magmatic and metamorphic history. This area experienced orogenic relaxation and magmatism associated with lithospheric delamination after the main orogenic phase (∼1020 Ma), thus generating the oldest alkalic anorthosite intrusions along the core of the orogen. Once the collisional orogenesis ended (∼978 Ma), a post-orogenic extensional regime was established, favoring the generation of the youngest AMCG intrusions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49674,"journal":{"name":"Precambrian Research","volume":"420 ","pages":"Article 107726"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143454879","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Understanding their origins and tectonic settings is crucial to deciphering continental growth and associated geodynamic regimes on early Earth, which remain highly debated. The North China Craton, one of the largest cratons, experienced significant crustal growth and reworking during late Neoarchean (ca. 2.6–2.5 Ga), but the mechanisms and geodynamic settings remain uncertain. This review assesses the field relations, structural styles, metamorphic features, and magmatic evolution of two representative Neoarchean TTG-greenstone terranes (Dengfeng and Angou) in the southern North China Craton to evaluate different geodynamic models and their roles in continental crust growth. The Dengfeng and Angou complexes, dominated by ca. 2.55–2.50 Ga TTG gneisses, metavolcano-sedimentary assemblages, and high-Mg diorites, with several generations of mafic and felsic intrusions, are subdivided into several lithostructural units with distinct geochronological, structural, geochemical, and metamorphic characteristics. These are interpreted as juxtaposed remnants of intra-oceanic arc/forearc complexes, accretionary complexes, and a continental margin sequence, recording Neoarchean divergent and convergent plate margin processes from seafloor spreading, subduction initiation, forearc accretion to arc–continent collision. The formation of juvenile intra-oceanic arc/forearc complexes, accretion of ocean plate stratigraphy/mélanges, and final arc–continental collision reflects active plate tectonics driving both vertical and lateral continental growth during the late Neoarchean. Metamorphic and thermodynamic modeling suggests a warmer Neoarchean paleo-subduction zone compared to Phanerozoic average slab-top geotherms, likely due to the hotter mantle and subduction of young and short-lived oceanic crust (&lt;30 Myrs). Such accretionary and collision tectonics, characterized by intra-oceanic warm subduction and soft collision, alongside coexisting mantle plume tectonics elsewhere, may have been two key mechanisms in constructing and recycling late Archean continental crust, promoting mantle heat loss and regulating surface environments as today. Finally, we suggest some future research directions to further investigate crustal evolution and tectonic styles from the perspective of the North China Craton.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49674,"journal":{"name":"Precambrian Research","volume":"420 ","pages":"Article 107730"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143438220","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The massive Liuchapo chert in the Nanhua Basin, South China, formed during the Ediacaran–Cambrian transition (ECT, ∼550–521 Ma), a critical interval of silicon cycle perturbations, rapid multicellular diversification, and significant environmental change. Its abrupt termination, followed by the widespread deposition of Niutitang black shales without a depositional hiatus, reflects a fundamental shift in the oceanic silicon cycle, linked to profound marine environmental evolution and dynamic biotic responses during the key period of the ECT. However, the biogeochemical processes driving the cessation of chert deposition remain poorly understood. Here, we present high-resolution geochemical data from the XAD1 borehole, situated in an an outer slope setting of the Nanhua Basin to assess controls on the termination of this widespread marine chert system. Our multi-proxy approach, including iron speciation, redox-sensitive trace metal analyses, and rare earth elements plus yttrium (REE + Y) systematics documents a highly fluctuated redox condition between oxic to ferruginous throughout the Liuchapo Formation, before giving way to persistent euxinic conditions in the lower Niutitang Formation. Hydrothermal activity likely played a key role in the Liuchapo chert formation, while its subsequent decline, coupled with the onset of euxinic conditions, weakened the Fe-Si loop essential for chert deposition. Furthermore, the emergence of silica-secreting organisms may have reduced dissolved silicon levels, further driving the cessation of chert deposition.

To address these issues we conducted a detailed paleomagnetic and rock magnetic study of the red dolomite of the Duguan Formation in the Xiaoqinling-Luanchuan region, part of the Xiong’er block of North China. Thermal demagnetization revealed a high-temperature remanence component, with an unblocking temperature exceeding 670 °C, likely carried by detrital hematite.

The oxygenation of the Mesoproterozoic ocean–atmosphere system was a protracted process, yet it may have included transient oxygenation events, particularly before ∼ 1.4 billion years ago. Despite ongoing research, the detailed nature of redox conditions and the origin of a potential oxygenation event around 1.44–1.43 Ga remain poorly understood. Here, we present a suite of geochemical proxies, including iodine-to-calcium-magnesium [I/(Ca + Mg)], rare earth elements (REE) plus Y (REY), carbonate-associated sulfate sulfur isotopes (δ<sup>34</sup>S<sub>CAS</sub>), Rb/Al, and P/Al ratios for the carbonate rocks of the Tieling Formation (ca. 1.44–1.43 Ga) from two well-preserved sections of the North China Platform. The lower Tieling Formation (Daizhuangzi Member) exhibits middle REE-enriched patterns and elevated I/(Ca + Mg) values (up to 1.32 µmol/mol), suggesting potentially oxic or suboxic seawater conditions. The upper Tieling Formation (Laohuding Member) shows a pronounced increase in I/(Ca + Mg) at the basal interval, followed by a further marked rise in the middle to upper portion of this member. The rising I/(Ca + Mg) ratios, coupled with negative shifts in Ce anomalies, imply at least two pulses of oceanic oxygenation during deposition. Notably, the peak in I/(Ca + Mg) ratios in the middle-upper Laohuding Member corresponds with previously reported positive Cr isotope fractionation, indicating an oxygenation event that extended to the atmosphere. Similar oxygenation signals have also been recognized in the time-equivalent Fengjiawan Formation of southern North China and the Kaltasy Formation of the Russia, suggesting a multi-basin oxygenation process at ∼ 1.44–1.43 Ga. Additionally, elevated P/Al and Rb/Al ratios beneath the Laohuding Member point to intensified terrestrial weathering and nutrient delivery to the ocean that may have accelerated the pyrite burial and contributed to the oxygenated events during this period.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49674,"journal":{"name":"Precambrian Research","volume":"419 ","pages":"Article 107723"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143377965","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
