Paleoproterozoic Plate Tectonics Recorded in the Northern Margin Orogen, North China Craton
The occurrence of plate tectonic processes on Earth during the Paleoproterozoic is supported by ca. 2.2–1.8 Ga subduction‐collision orogens associated with the assembly of the Columbia‐Nuna supercontinent. Subsequent supercontinent breakup is evidence by

ABSTRACT In the Recôncavo Basin, Northeast of Brazil, mud diapirs have been reported for decades, but their role within the basin's petroleum system remains poorly constrained. Here, we combine 2D seismic interpretation, field observations, and organic geochemical analyses of rocks and oil seeps to investigate the relationship between diapirism and ...

Revisiting the Pyhäsalmi volcanic complex, western Finland: new insights from volcanic-facies mapping [PDF]
The Pyhäsalmi Volcanogenic Massive Sulfide (VMS) deposit, hosted by volcanic rocks of the 1.93–1.91 Ga Vihanti–Pyhäsalmi–Rautalampi belt, is the largest base metal sulfide deposit in Finland (75.7 Mt at 0.9 wt.% Cu, 1.9 wt.% Zn, 0.4 g/t Au, and 14.1 g/t ...

The Precambrian basement of the Gyeonggi Massif in the central Korean Peninsula consists mainly of Paleoproterozoic (2.0–1.8 Ga) gneisses. In this study, we present petrological, zircon U–Pb age and Hf isotope, and whole-rock geochemical and Sr–Nd–Pb ...

ABSTRACT Deep crustal fragments and structural lineaments identified through satellite gravity data provide evidence for the extension of the reworked ancient basement of the Central African Block into the northern São Francisco Craton and southern Borborema Province.

Enlargement of the area of the Timpton Large Igneous Province (ca. 1.75 ga) of the Siberian craton
We present new geochronological data on dolerites from the Chaya dyke swarm of the Baikal inlier of the Siberian craton. The U‐Pb dating of baddeleyite from one dyke located at the SW end of the Chaya dyke swarm yielded an age of 1752±6 Ma, similar to ...

ABSTRACT The Transbrasiliano‐Kandi‐4°50′ (TK4) shear zone in western Gondwana crosscuts South America and NW Africa for at least 6000 km. Despite its impressive size, the timing of the main episode of dextral ductile shearing is uncertain. We present detailed in situ multi‐mineral geochronology of mylonites from both Brazil and Algeria supporting that ...

Temporal and Hf isotope geochemical evolution of southern Finnish Lapland from 2.77 Ga to 1.76 Ga [PDF]
The southern Finnish Lapland area in the central part of the Fennoscandian shield is a geologically complex zone comprising several Archean blocks and Paleoproterozoic supracrustal belts all of which are intruded by voluminous Paleoproterozoic granites ...

Mafic-ultramafic intrusions of Matokulma, Palojärvi, and Hongonniittu within the Central Finland Granitoid Complex with special reference to their petrogenesis and ore potential [PDF]
We describe three previously unknown or poorly studied mafic-ultramafic intrusions (Matokulma, Palojärvi, Hongonniittu) from the south-central part of the Paleoproterozoic Central Finland Granitoid Complex (CFGC).
