Differential Phanerozoic evolution of cratonic and non-cratonic lithosphere from a thermochronological perspective: São Francisco Craton and marginal orogens (Brazil) [PDF]
Gondwana Research, 2021 Abstract The Sao Francisco Craton (SFC) and its marginal Aracuai and Brasilia orogens exhibit a significant diversity in their lithospheric architecture. These orogens were shaped during the Neoproterozoic–Cambrian amalgamation of West Gondwana. The rigid cratonic lithosphere of the SFC and the relatively weak lithosphere of the Aracuai Orogen were ...

Two-step Gravity Inversion Reveals Variable Architecture of African Cratons
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021 The lithospheric build-up of the African continent is still to a large extent unexplored. In this contribution, we present a new Moho depth model to discuss the architecture of the three main African cratonic units, which are: West African Craton, Congo ...

Review of the spatial distribution of kimberlite pipes in the tectonic structures of the world
Geo&BioKimberlite pipes are vertical or inclined cylindrical or cone-shaped bodies filled with kimberlite, an ultramafic igneous rock. The diameter of kimberlite pipes can vary from a few metres to 1.5 km, and their depth reaches several kilometres.
