This study seeks to determine the ultimate origin of aeolian sand in Arabian deserts by high-
resolution petrographic and heavy-mineral techniques combined with zircon U–Pb …

The Paleozoic Variscan orogeny was a large-scale collisional event involving amalgamation
of multiple continents and micro-continents. Existing data, suggests oroclinal buckling of an …

We present a synopsis of detrital zircon U–Pb ages of sandstones from North Africa and
neighboring Israel and Jordan, which allows us to identify zones with characteristic sediment …

Archaeological glass contains information about the movement of goods and ancient
economies, yet our understanding of critical aspects of the ancient glass industry is …

Early Paleozoic sandstones deposited along the northern margin of Gondwana are
commonly interpreted to represent a vast, well-mixed, and far-travelled blanket of sand …

Detrital zircon laser ablation–inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry U-Pb age data
from the Lower Ordovician Armorican Quartzite (deformed passive margin strata of …

The Nile is generally regarded as the longest river in the world. Knowledge of the timing of
the Nile's initiation as a major river is important to a number of research questions. For …

Abstract The Tauride block in Turkey is a peri-Gondwana, Cadomian-type terrane that rifted
from the Afro-Arabian margin of Gondwana in the Permo-Triassic and re-accreted to Arabia …

The timings of the onset of oceanic spreading, subduction and collision are crucial in plate
reconstructions, but not always straightforward to resolve. The Paleo‐Tethys evolution …

We present the first comprehensive detrital zircon U–Pb age dataset from Palaeozoic
sandstones of Saudi Arabia, which provides new insights into the erosion history of the East …
