Much
of our work in China concerns the extent of the North China
Block through time and determining the collision and suturing
of South China, North China and Siberia. This paleogeographic
map, from Zhao et al. (1990, see References), shows the
positions of the major Chinese blocks relative to other
blocks bordering the Paleo-Tethys Ocean in Late Permian
time, a reconstruction based on paleomagnetic and geologic
evidence.
