Key Structural Elements around the East Vietnam Sea (South China Sea) and implications on reconstructions: towards a clarification

This review paper does not intend to pinpoint one specific reconstruction but explores the many options proposed for each of the complex steps of the evolution of the East Vietnam Sea (or the South China Sea). We used the step-by-step reconstructions of Pubellier et al., [34] until 20 Ma and extrapolated the block movements to 100 Ma, thus proposing a simple scenario of events and discussing several fundamental questions.
