Available paleomagnetic data of Cretaceous redbed formations from Indochina and South China blocks are compiled and their tectonic significance is reviewed in a common reference frame of the Eurasian coeval paleopoles. The important factors that play a vital role in determining the tectonic significance of a paleomagnetic result have been taken into consideration and discussed. Review of the Cretaceous paleomagnetic data from the South China block further confirms the conclusion of the previous researchers that the present geographic position of the South China block has been relatively stable with respect to Eurasia since Cretaceous time and shows that the paleomagnetically detected ...
