Geochemical and isotopic approaches to constraining provenance of sedimentary rocks
complement the information inferred from petrography. Geochemical approaches have …

The graywackes of Paleozoic turbidite sequences of eastern Australia show a large variation
in their trace element characteristics, which reflect distinct provenance types and tectonic …

Estimates of the average composition of various Precambrian shields and a variety of
estimates of the average composition of upper continental crust show considerable …

In the Paleozoic graywackes of eastern Australia there is an increase in the total abundance
of rare earth elements (REE), a light to heavy REE ratio and a decrease in the chondrite …

Abstract The Fig Tree Group and Moodies Group, part of the Swaziland Supergroup, are
exposed in the Barberton Mountain Land and are∼ 3.3–3.5 Ga old. Shales from the Fig …

The mudrock suites of Paleozoic flysch sequences of eastern Australia can be characterised
on the basis of the relative abundances of phyllosilicates and tectosilicates (mainly feldspar …

The composition of post-Archaean terrigenous clastic sedimentary rocks is very uniform for
several insoluble trace elements (eg REE, Th, Sc) and is thought to reflect the composition of …

The New Guinea collision includes diverse sediment source areas associated with arc-
continent collision to the west of the Solomon Sea triple junction, and with subduction of …

Abstract The Proterozoic Aravalli Supergroup in south-central Rajasthan, western India is
predominantly composed of coarse, low-grade meta-arenites, carbonates, greywackes …

Greywacke, argillite, greyschist and hypabyssal igneous rocks have been obtained from an
Ocean Drilling Program core on the Queensland Plateau and from xenoliths in a volcanic …
