THE South China Block exhibits a complex structural pattern in its Neoproterozoic-Mesozoic sedimentary cover. The lack of knowledge about the formation of this pattern hinders our understanding of the regional tectonic evolution and paleogeography, and the reconstruction of Phanerozoic apparent polar wander path(s). In this note we present a synthesis based on a paleomagnetic and tectonic analysis, which suggests that (i) the structural pattern over central...
