Scientific paper

All available paleomagnetic poles of Upper Permian to Tertiary age from the main blocks of China are critically reviewed with the aim of placing constraints on models of the formation and the subsequent deformation of the region. For first-order analysis, apparent polar wander paths are constructed for the major blocks. The compatibilities and contradictions between the geological and paleomagnetic records are discussed. A sequence of paleogeographic configurations taking geological constraints into account but remaining within paleomagnetic uncertainties is presented. In general, the major blocks were probably in contact throughout the Permian and Triassic, but the Jurassic was the key age during which most of the movement toward China's present configuration took place. The present reconstructions include certain details which are suggested by the paleomagnetic record but whose geological signatures seemed to be hidden by subsequent events. During the Cretaceous, Chinese poles agree with poles from other continents transferred onto Eurasia.
