Abstract The Arabian-Nubian Shield (ANS), the northern extension of the East African Orogen (EAO), consists of a number of amalgamated island-arc tectonic terranes, separated …
The tectonic evolution of the Arabian–Nubian Shield (ANS), the northern continuation of the East African Orogen (EAO), is enigmatic and a matter of controversy. The EAO is observed …
The Neoproterozoic tectonic evolution of the Egyptian Eastern Desert (EED) basement is documented, principally through its history of structural events, and to a lesser degree …
Metamorphic core complexes (MCCs) are a domed structures cored by high grade gneiss overlain by low grade supracrustal rocks. They are characterized by some common features …
