Abstract
Detrital zircon, trace element, and sandstone modal data for Permo-Triassic strata from the Greater Youjiang Basin indicate that the basin evolved from a trailing-edge passive margin setting to a peripheral foreland basin during closure of the Paleo-Tethys Ocean and collision between Indochina and South China. The initiation time of the foreland basin decreases from southeast to southwest across the basin, probably reflecting oblique collision. In contrast, the Permian strata on Hainan Island record a provenance history distinct from the Greater Youjiang Basin, which is related to late Paleozoic to Mesozoic subduction of the Paleo-Pacific Plate beneath South China.
