The end of the Archean aeon (3.0–2.5 Ga) was a period of fundamental change in many
aspects of the geological record. In Archean cratons, this timespan is marked by a …

Contrasting models for internal and external locations of South China within the Nuna and
Rodinia supercontinents can be resolved when the current lithotectonic associations of …

The generation, preservation and destruction of continental crust on Earth is of wide interest
in understanding the formation of continents, cratons and supercontinents as well as related …

The Precambrian geologic history of Peninsular India covers nearly 3.0 billion years of time.
India is presently attached to the Eurasian continent although it remains (for now) a separate …

U–Pb geochronological, major and trace element and isotope geochemical data identify
crustal domains of contrasted petrological origins and histories in the lower crust of the …

We present SIMS U–Pb zircon ages and Nd isotope data for the felsic volcanic rocks from
seven Neoarchean greenstone belts of the Eastern Dharwar craton (EDC) and from the …

Abstract Sandwiched between the Dharwar Craton in the north and the Neoarchean–
Proterozoic crustal blocks to the south, the Coorg Block in southern India is composed …

Abstract The Dharwar Craton is a composite Archean cratonic collage that preserves
important records of crustal evolution on the early Earth. Here we present results from a …

At the end of the Neoarchean continental evolution, voluminous syenogranites were
emplaced in the North China Craton, together with other magmatic rocks (trondhjemite …

This contribution presents a comprehensive synthesis on the origin of oldest (3600–3200
Ma) cratonic core in the Western Dharwar Craton (WDC), Southern India based our new …
