Metacraton: nature, genesis and behavior
In this paper, we show with examples that cratons involved in intercontinental collisions in a
lower plate position are often affected by orogenic events, leading to the transformation of …

The relations between Gondwana and the adjacent peripheral Cadomian domain—constrains on the origin, history, and paleogeography of the peripheral domain
Z Garfunkel - Gondwana Research, 2015 - Elsevier
This work examines the relations between the Cadomian-type peri-Gondwana blocks and
West and North Africa and Arabia (WNA) and the sediments derived therefrom during the …

Geochemical and isotopic characterization of the Bodélé Depression dust source and implications for transatlantic dust transport to the Amazon Basin
The Bodélé Depression (Chad) in the central Sahara/Sahel region of Northern Africa is the
most important source of mineral dust to the atmosphere globally. The Bodélé Depression is …

Neoproterozoic crustal growth: the solid Earth system during a critical episode of Earth history
RJ Stern - Gondwana research, 2008 - Elsevier
The behavior of the solid Earth system is often overlooked when the causes of major
Neoproteozoic (1000–542 Ma) climate and biosphere events are discussed although∼ 20 …

Three North African dust source areas and their geochemical fingerprint
North Africa produces more than half of the world's atmospheric dust load. Once entrained
into the atmosphere, this dust poses a human health hazard locally. It also modifies the …

Late Ediacaran geological evolution (575–555 Ma) of the Djanet Terrane, Eastern Hoggar, Algeria, evidence for a Murzukian intracontinental episode
The Eastern Hoggar is by far the least well known part of the Tuareg Shield. It is composed,
from west to east, of the Aouzegueur, Edembo and Djanet Terranes. The Djanet Terrane is …

The Balkan terranes: a missing link between the eastern and western segments of the Avalonian–Cadomian orogenic belt?
ABSTRACT The Alpine–Himalayan collision zone involves a number of crustal fragments
that originated in the Neoproterozoic to Cambrian Avalonian–Cadomian belt of northern …

Timing of collisional and post-collisional Pan-African Orogeny silicic magmatism in south-central Chad
Precambrian crust within southern Chad and eastern Cameroon preserves rocks that were
remobilized and emplaced during and after the Neoproterozoic (∼ 650 Ma to∼ 610 Ma) …
