Machine Learning Model for Assessing Melting Pressure Conditions of the TTG Genesis: Implications for the Timing of the Onset of Global Plate Tectonics

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 26, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract Understanding the pressure conditions of the formation of tonalite‐trondhjemite‐granodiorite (TTG) series rocks is important, as these rocks are key constituents of the Archean continental crust. However, the detailed pressure history of Archean TTG gneisses remains ambiguous due to uncertainties surrounding their sources and the effects of ...

Experimental models of 'Basement'-controlled salients - application to the proterozoic fold-thrust belt of the quadrilátero ferrífero (Minas Gerais, Southeastern Brazil)

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2003
Scaled sandbox models are used to simulate the development of ´basement´-controlled, salients. We investigate the controlling factors on the development of closed curvatures in map-view, considering constant both the sand pack thickness and the space ...

A Recipe for Exotic Continental Fragment Formation: Key Constraints From Numerical Rift Models

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 130, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract The Wilson Cycle describes the opening and closing of oceans, generating new plate boundaries at continental rifts, and extinguishing ancient plate boundaries with continental collisions (creating a continental suture). However, the general view of the Wilson Cycle does not fully explain more complex tectonic scenarios.

The development of magmatism along the Cameroon Volcanic Line: Evidence from teleseismic receiver functions

, 2012
[1] The Cameroon Volcanic Line (CVL) in West Africa is a chain of Cenozoic volcanism with no clear age progression. The reasons for its existence are unclear, and the nature of its magmatic plumbing system is poorly understood.

Microporosity of BIF hosted massive hematite ore, Iron Quadrangle, Brazil.

, 2002
Massive hematite ore (MHO) is a special high-grade iron ore, used as lump ore in the process of obtaining direct reduction iron (DRI). The influence of porosity on the reducibility of MHO from the Capitão do Mato Mine (Iron Quadrangle, Brazil) was ...

Schist Belts of the Benin‐Nigeria Shield Reveal a Neoproterozoic History

Terra Nova, Volume 37, Issue 4, Page 239-249, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Belts of metasedimentary rocks (schist belts) in the Benin‐Nigeria Shield (BNS) are investigated for the first time using U–Pb dating and Lu‐Hf isotope analysis of detrital zircons. We report maximum depositional ages that place their deposition firmly in the Neoproterozoic and link them with strata in the Dahomey Belt, the central African ...

Toward a More Stable Supercontinent Columbia in the Statherian

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 12, 28 June 2025.
Abstract During the mid‐Proterozoic, nearly all of Earth's continents collided to form supercontinent Columbia. However, the exact timing of its formation is still debated, with estimates ranging from 1.8 to 1.6 Ga. This period, known as the Statherian, is also debated for its affinity to either the Paleoproterozoic or Mesoproterozoic eras.

Petrology of Gameleira potassic lamprophyres, São Francisco Craton

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2012
Gameleira lamprophyres are dykes and mafic microgranular enclaves associated with the shoshonitic Gameleira monzonite. This association belongs to the Paleoproterozoic alkaline magmatism from Serrinha nucleus, northeast Brazil.
