The Discovery of Neoproterozoic Pillow Lava in Spilite-Ceratophyre of
Recently, the authors found a suite of spilite-ceratophyre with pillow structure in strata of Shuangqiaoshan Group. An analysis of element geochemistry reveals that the spilite-ceratophyre and the concomitant dacite have the characteristics of oceanic island basalt, hence their formation environment should have been a back-arc small oceanic basin upside continental crust. The authors thus hold that the suture of southern
