  • Mesozoic to Cenozoic tectonic evolution of the South China Block was dominated jointly by the Pacific tectonic domain and the Tethys tectonic domain. Brittle faulting of the NE-SW-striking Jingdezhen-Shexian shear zone and the Qiuchuan-Xiaoshan fault was studied in the eastern Jiangnan area. Based on cross-cutting relations and inversion of fault-slip data, seven stages of structural deformation were identified and their paleostress fields were inverted. Their formation ages and geodynamics are also discussed. Cretaceous to Cenozoic paleostress fields that occurred in the eastern Jiangnan area are:(1) NW-SE extension during early stage of Early Cretaceous (136-125 Ma); (2) N-S compression and E-W extension during late stage of Early Cretaceous (125-107 Ma); (3) latest Early Cretaceous to early stage of Early Cretaceous (105-86 Ma) NW-SE extension; (4) middle Late Cretaceous (86-80 Ma) NW-SE compression and NE-SW extension; (5) N-S extension during late stage of Late Cretaceous to latest Eocene (80-36 Ma); (6) NE-SW compression and NW-SE extension during latest Eocene to early stage of Oligocene (36-30 Ma); (7) early stage of Oligocene to medium stage of Miocene (30-17 Ma) NE-SW extension. Combining these with regional geological evidences, the first to fourth paleostress fields were related to roll-back, subduction of the Pacific Plate and collision between micro-terrane (Philippine Sea plate) and the South China Block. The fifth paleostress field was attributed to the roll-back of Neo-Tethys oceanic plate whereas the sixth and seventh paleostress fields to the far-field effect of the India-Asia collision. Extensional regimes and strike-slip regimes alternately dominated Cretaceous to Cenozoic structural deformation in the South China Block. The predominated factor for the strike-slip regimes in the South China Block is re-existed faults occurred before Late Mesozoic.
