Abstract
Paleomagnetic data, during the Phanerozoic obtained in the last 20 years in the Yangtze Block (YZB), are critically reviewed. A new apparent polar wan der path (APWP) for the YZB is constructed by selected poles with objective reliable criteria, with a Real of placing constraints on the models of the formation and subsequent deformation and reconstructing the tectonic evolu tion history of this region.
