Existing models of tectonic evolution of the Neoproterozoic orogenic system rimming the shores of the South Atlantic Ocean (the Araçuaí–Ribeira–Congo and Dom Feliciano–Kaoko …
Abstract Field, petrographic, geophysical, geochronological, elemental and isotopic data support the identification of distinct components of a Wilson cycle (rift-drift-subduction …
The interval from the late Mesoproterozoic to early Neoproterozoic is generally considered as a critical time for the amalgamation of Rodinia. The location of the North China Craton …
Western Gondwana amalgamated by collision of continental blocks that did not form prior conjugated margins (extroversion), and by typical Wilson cycles, when continental blocks …
Dispersion and deformation of cratonic fragments within orogens require weakening of the craton margins in a process of decratonization. The orogenic Borborema Province, in NE …
Abstract The Tonian Period followed a long interval of relative stasis and led into the climatic extremes and biological radiations of multicellular life during the Cryogenian and Ediacaran …
During the last few decades, the interest in studying intraplate mafic events has increased dramatically, mostly towards the events of Large Igneous Province (LIP) scale. These events …
Abstract The Neoproterozoic Anti-Atlas belt (Morocco) is a key segment in tracing the history of the northern margin of the West African craton (WAC) from Rodinia breakup to Gondwana …
Eoarchean to Rhyacian crust is preserved in the São Francisco Craton of eastern Brazil. To position this crustal segment in paleocontinental reconstructions, precise, accurate and …
