The Sedimentary Origin of Black and White Banded Cherts of the Buck Reef, Barberton, South Africa
Geosciences, 2019 The Buck Reef is a 250−400 m thick sequence of banded black and white (B&W) cherts deposited ca. 3416 Ma ago in a shallow basin. We provide field, petrological and geochemical constraints on the chert-forming process and the origin of the ...

2200 million years of crustal evolution: The Baltic Shield [PDF]
Bulletin of the Geological Society of Finland, 1986 The crustal history of the Baltic shield is interpreted in the light of the plate tectonic concept. Five tectonic cycles, each characterized by special lithological and structural features, are distinguished: The Early Archean (> 2900 Ma), the Late ...
