The Jiangnan Orogen has long been recognized as an ideal location for Precambrian geologists to study Neoproterozoic tectonic movements. However, the paleogeographic location of the South China Craton within the Rodinia supercontinent and the associated geodynamic mechanisms remain contentious. This research presents results from Laser Ablation Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (LA‐ICP‐MS) zircon U–Pb dating, whole‐...

Northeastern Fuqing Bay is crucial for the marine ecosystem in Fujian Province and plays an important role in regional economic development and ecological balance. However, rapid economic and population growth has led to severe heavy metal (HM) pollution from anthropogenic sources and atmospheric deposition. This study comprehensively assessed HMs in surface sediments, surface seawater, and marine organisms in northeastern Fuq...
