Tectonic Juxtaposition of Two Independent Paleoproterozoic Arcs by Cenozoic Duplexing in the Arun Tectonic Window of the Eastern Nepalese Himalaya

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022
The tectonic evolution of the Himalayan orogenic belt before Cenozoic convergence is important to understand its modern structural framework. There is still controversy regarding the tectonic history of the lower Lesser Himalaya Sequence (LHS) in the ...

Paleoproterozoic evolution of Fennoscandia and Greenland

Episodes, 2008
The Paleoproterozoic evolution of Fennoscandia and Greenland can be divided into major rifting and orogenic stages. The Paleoproterozoic rifting of Fennoscandia started with 2.505‐2.1 Ga, multiphase, southwest-prograding, intraplate rifting. Both Fennoscandia and Greenland experienced 2.1‐ 2.04 Ga drifting and separation of their Archean cratons by ...

Polymict melt‐bearing breccia dikes in the Morokweng impact structure formed by slip‐induced mechanical mixing of pseudotachylite and cataclasite along large‐displacement impact faults

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract A core drilled through shocked and faulted Archean granitoid gneisses and dolerites in the eroded peak ring of the 70–80 km diameter Morokweng impact structure intersects multiple centimeter‐ to meter‐wide clastic‐matrix breccias containing a polymict clast population of lithic and mineral clasts and altered, millimeter‐ to centimeter ‐size ...

Revisiting the Pyhäsalmi volcanic complex, western Finland: new insights from volcanic-facies mapping [PDF]

Bulletin of the Geological Society of Finland
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 ...

Provenance and depositional age of Paleoproterozoic metasedimentary rocks in the Kuluketage Block, northern Tarim Craton: Implications for tectonic setting and crustal growth

, 2015
Precambrian geology of the Tarim Craton, especially for the crustal evolution, is poorly constrained. Paleoproterozoic metasedimentary rocks are extensively exposed in the Kuluketage Block, northern Tarim Craton, and thus have recorded abundant ...

Sedimentology of silica granules and haematite in the 3.47 Ga Antarctic Creek Member, Mount Ada Basalt, Western Australia

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Paleoarchean Antarctic Creek Member of the Mount Ada Basalt, Eastern Pilbara Terrane, Western Australia, includes beds of jasper and white chert composed of sand‐sized silica granules that often contain or are mixed with silt‐sized particles of haematite.

Enlargement of the area of the Timpton Large Igneous Province (ca. 1.75 ga) of the Siberian craton

Геодинамика и тектонофизика, 2019
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 ...

Petrogenesis and tectonic implications of the late Paleoproterozoic (ca. 1.7 Ga) post-collisional magmatism in the southwestern Gyeonggi Massif at Garorim Bay, South Korea

Journal of Asian Earth Sciences: X, 2021
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 ...

Evolution Model for the Paleoproterozoic Talvivaara Mudstone‐Hosted Ni‐Zn‐Cu‐Co Deposit in Fennoscandia

Terra Nova, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Paleoproterozoic Talvivaara mudstone is a very large sulfidic Ni‐Co deposit that records enhanced organic matter accumulation during the global Shunga Event. Here, rock geochemistry and microscale S and Fe isotope composition of in situ pyrrhotites and pyrites are studied in well‐characterised, well‐preserved drill core samples.
