| Abstract: | A total of 312 oriented core samples collected from the Neoproterozoic to lower Cambrian strata in the Lushan region of western Henan Province, southern North China Block, were subjected to stepwise demagnetization. After removing recent and possibly Mesozoic overprint components, inferred primary magnetic remanence was isolated from the Precambrian Dongjia, Sanjiaotang and Cuizhuang Formations. Our new results, together with selected previous results, suggest that the North China Block was in low latitudinal positions for most of the studied time interval. Through comparison with paleogeographic positions of other continents, we suggest that the NCB could have been closed to Siberia during the ca. 800-600 Ma interval. |
