Tectonic implications of Late Paleozoic stratigraphic distribution in Northeast China and adjacent region

An analysis of the distribution of the Late Paleozoic strata on Northeast China and adjacent region reveals a zonal pattern of the distribution around the core of the Jiamusi-Mongolia Block.The main part of Late Paleozoic marine strata in this area is considered the continental margin deposits of the Jia-musi-Mongolia Block by analyzing the stratigraphic contact relationship,lithofacies,etc.The results are exhibited in a series of tectonic paleogeographic maps.This presents an important proof for the foundation of the Jiamusi-Mongolia Block,and confines the forming time of Jiamusi-Mongolia Block to the Late Silurian.
