    Abstract:

    The North China Craton (NCC) was clearly different from the Yangtze and Tarim cratons during the late Mesoproterozoic to early Neoproterozoic period because no distinct geological records have been found about the thermotectonic events related to assembly and breakup of the Rodinia Supercontinent. Therefore, various assumptions occur regarding relation between the NCC and the Rodinia. In recent years, some typical Grenville ages were successively yielded using the detrital zircons from the Yushulaiz Group in Liaoning, Penglai and Tumen groups in Yantai of Shandong, all of them belonging to the Neoproterozoic clastic strata distributing on both sides of the Tanlu fault. The data are similar to those from the Upper Riphean at the southeastern margin of Siberia Craton. The ages of these zircons are not characteristic of the NCC and Siberian craton, indicating that there is a close relation between the eastern margin of the NCC, the southeastern margin of Siberian craton, and the Grenville Orogen. On the basis of the assumption, we propose a hypothesis (GOSEN joining hypothesis) that the Grenville Orogen, the southeastern margin of Siberia and eastern NCC was linked.
