Abstract:The main Chinese blocks has been long thought to assemble to the Rodinia supercontinent later than other blocks around the globe. In the present study, we selected the Chinese Central Tianshan, Yili and Tarim blocks to test this hypothesis. We systematically analyzed the deformation and magma characteristics in the early Neoproterozoic (1. 0-0. 8 Ga). The lineation of the Neoproterozoic deformed rocks is nearly parallel to the trend of the orogenic belt, reflecting an intracontinental strikeslip shearing in the postorogeny. The 1. 0-0. 8 Ga magmatic rocks are smallscale granites, no mafic enclaves, no or minor hornblendes in the mineral assemblage, showing highK calcalkaline affinity and peraluminous characteristics, with abundant inherited zircons, with the melting of lower crust as the main source and falling into postcollisional setting. The Tiinzircon and Zrinwholerock geothermometers yield high crystallization temperatures (ca. 800℃) for these plutons. In combination with regional geology, we suggest that ① the Chinese Central Tianshan, Yili and Tarim blocks (belonging to the Greater Tarim Block) had been located in the interior of the Rodinia supercontinent and finished the collisional processes with other blocks during early Neoproterozoic, The deformation and magmatic records of 1. 0-0. 8 Ga reflect a tectonic event after continental collision. ② The high magmatic temperature can be explained as the thermal blanket effect from the supercontinent assembly. ③ The time of the initial assembly of the Greater Tarim Block (Chinese Central Tianshan, Yili and the present Tarim blocks) to the Rodinia supercontinent is prior to the Early Neoproterozoic (>1. 0 Ga).
