Quiescent faults may be capable of creating catastrophic earthquakes in locations with
moderate and/or low seismic activity, such as Egypt. This study combines structural, remote …

Abstract The Porto Belo Complex orthogneisses are dominantly intermediate, high-K calc-
alkaline rocks of Tonian age (ca. 800 Ma) that represent the hinterland basement of northern …

Metamorphic core complexes (MCCs) are a domed structures cored by high grade gneiss
overlain by low grade supracrustal rocks. They are characterized by some common features …

The Neoproterozoic tectonic evolution of the Egyptian Eastern Desert (EED) basement is
documented, principally through its history of structural events, and to a lesser degree …

Abstract The Precambrian crust of Africa comprises large remnants of Archaean massifs,
which are parts of even larger units, some of which were subjected to tectonic reactivation in …

During the transition from compressional to extensional-related magmatism, at Ra's Abdah
area of the northern Eastern Desert of Egypt, Ediacaran uraniferous syenogranite dikes with …

Abstract The Encruzilhada Block lies between the eastern hinterland and western foreland
of the Dom Feliciano Belt (southern Brazil) and its tectonic meaning in the orogenic …

Detrital U-Pb age peaks and εHf (t) and T DM (Hf) of peri-Gondwanan units of S Turkey
indicate that they may have been derived from Neoproterozoic igneous suites in the Sinai …

More than seventy strain studies in the Egyptian Nubian Shield (ENS) are reviewed in this
contribution. For the Hammamat basin strain studies, Rf/ϕ and Fry methods have been …

Recent reconnaissance geochemical investigations have unveiled Cryogenian magmatism
linked to the compressional accretionary phase, contributing to the growth of the Afif Terrane …
