| his dissertation reports paleomagnetic and isotopic data that constrain the tectonic development of south China. In Guangxi, Guangdong, and Fujian Province, block rotations of Cretaceous and Tertiary rocks are attributed to the India-Asia collision. The timing and sense of the rotations are consistent with proposed models invoking the extrusion of continental landmasses to the southeast, away from the collision front. In southern Guangxi, Jurassic rocks are rotated counterclockwise (20... |
