Zircon U-Pb Ages and Hf Isotopes of the Askot Klippe, Kumaun, Northwest India: Implications for Paleoproterozoic Tectonics, Basin Evolution and Associated Metallogeny of the Northern Indian Cratonic Margin [PDF]

, 2016
Throughout the Himalayan thrust belt, klippen of questionable tectonostratigraphic affinity occur atop Lesser Himalayan rocks. Integrated U-Pb ages, Hf isotopic, and whole rock trace element data establish that the Askot klippe, in northwest India, is ...

Sources and possible causes of Paleoproterozoic magmatism in the southern part of the Karelian Craton (Baltic Shield)

Transactions of the Karelian Research Centre of the Russian Academy of Sciences, 2018
There is an opinion that Paleoproterozoic magmatism in the Karelian craton of the Baltic Shield is linked solely with the influence of mantle plumes.

Structure of the Mantle Keel of the Wyoming Craton and Its Relationship to Intracratonic Deformation and Magmatism

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract The Wyoming Craton is often cited as an example of decratonization, implying the removal of its lithospheric keel. However, numerous geophysical imaging studies indicate the presence of thick mantle lithosphere beneath much of the Wyoming Craton.

A Rare Glimpse of Paleoproterozoic Sub‐Arc Mantle: The Ussuit Peridotite, West Greenland

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems
Mantle residues beneath Archean cratonic nuclei have been extensively studied, whereas less attention has been given to the mantle lithosphere beneath Proterozoic mobile belts that link these nuclei.

ARCHEAN AND PALEOPROTEROZOIC HISTORY OF ROCK METAMORPHISM IN THE URALS CRUSTAL SEGMENT

Transactions of the Karelian Research Centre of the Russian Academy of Sciences, 2015
In the Urals, Archean and Paleoproterozoic formations were found in several polymetamorphic complexes which crop out as relatively small tectonic blocks (within the first thousands sq. km in area).

High Geomagnetic Reversal Frequency During the Middle to Late Ediacaran (∼570 Ma) Constrained by Integrated Magneto‐ and Cyclostratigraphy

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract The Ediacaran–Cambrian (∼635–539 Ma) geomagnetic field is characterized by unusually high reversal rates and markedly weakened field strength. Estimates of these reversal frequencies can reveal key aspects of deep Earth dynamics and their potential influence on surface environments and early complex life.

Polyorogenic evolution of the Paleoproterozoic Trans-North China Belt, new insights from the in Lüliangshan-Hengshan-Wutaishan and Fuping massifs

, 2007
http://www.episodes.org/backissues/302/abstract2.htmInternational audienceThe Trans-North China Belt (TNCB) is a Paleoproterozoic collisional orogen (ca. 1.9-1.8 Ga) responsible for the amalgamation of the North China Craton.

New constraints on Precambrian ocean composition [PDF]

, 1993
The Precambrian record of carbonate and evaporite sedimentation is equivocal. In contrast to most previous interpretations, it is possible that Archean, Paleoproterozoic, and to a lesser extent, Meso to Neoproterozoic seawater favored surplus abiotic ...

Cold deep subduction recorded by remnants of a Paleoproterozoic carbonated slab

Nature Communications, 2018
The onset of modern-style plate tectonics remains under debate. Here, Xu et al. report a cold thermal-gradient recorded in an eclogite xenolith in Paleoproterozoic carbonatite from orogen, and propose that modern-style subduction has operated since at ...
