    Abstract:

    In this paper, the authors discussed the relationship between the Wudang block and the Yangtze continental nucleus (the Kongling area) and the evolution of the Northern Yangtze Craton during the Neoproterozoic, based on the collection of published detrital zircon U-Pb data from the Neoproterozoic sedimentary rocks in this area. Through the comparison between the data from the two regions, two major age populations (~710 Ma and~2.5 Ga) were found for the Wudang block, meanwhile, the absence of old ages (>3.0 Ga) is obvious, indicating that the sedimentary source might not have come from the Yangtze continental nucleus. The Wudang block might have been a microcontinent, which was separated from the Yangtze continental nucleus (represented by the Kongling area) before the Neoproterozoic, and then collided with the latter again during the middle Neoproterozoic to form a complete body.
