Comment on “Detrital zircon geochronology and Nd isotope geochemistry of the basal succession of the Taebaeksan Basin, South Korea: Implications for the Gondwana linkage of the Sino-Korean (North China) block during the Neoproterozoic–Early Cambrian” by Lee, Y.I., Choi, T., Lim, H.S., & Orihashi, Y.

Abstract

Reconstruction of the Neoproterozoic to Early Cambrian paleogeography of northeast Asia proposed by Lee et al. (2016, Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, 441, 770–786) is based on miscalculated statistical values and/or some radiometric data ignored without rationale. The Gondwana linkage between the Korean Peninsula and the Sino-Korean (North China) Block in their model should be reconsidered.
