Rutile is a robust heavy mineral that can survive multiple sedimentary cycles. It is common in high-grade metamorphic rocks and hydrothermally-altered rocks. Hence, it can be a …
Detrital zircon provenance analysis plays a key role in reconstructions of past tectonic and sedimentary environments. However, non-unique (or even erroneous) interpretations can be …
Understanding crustal growth, reworking, and geodynamics of the northern continental margin of Gondwana during Ediacaran to Silurian times plays an important role in …

Abstract The Baoshan, Tengchong, Lhasa, South Qiangtang, and Sibumasu terranes were part of Gondwana prior to rifting and drifting from the northern margin since the Early …
New and compiled detrital zircon U–Pb ages from the southern Neoproterozoic–Cambrian Ribeira Belt, SE Brazil, demonstrate Laurentian affinity of the Embu Terrane which is …
Using Gondwana as an example, we show how the geological record can be interrogated to detect significant changes in mantle convection patterns at critical junctures in Earth's …
Paleogeographic reconstruction of Precambrian terranes reworked by Phanerozoic orogens (eg, the Tibetan Plateau) results in complex lithotectonic relations due to intracrustal …
Deciphering the tectono‐metamorphic evolution of Precambrian terranes can be difficult due to reworking by later superimposed events. Whole‐rock elemental and isotopic …
