The Antarctic rock record spans some 3.5 billion years of history, and has made important
contributions to our understanding of how Earth's continents assemble and disperse through …

The initial (200–175Ma) breakup of Pangea was marked by the emplacement of the Large
Igneous Provinces (LIPs) of Karoo–Ferrar-SE Australia (KFS) in the back-arc of …

Gondwana was consolidated in the late Cambrian after 180 myr of tectonic convergence
among Neoproterozoic paleocontinents and smaller fragments. We present a compilation of …

The breakup of the L-chondrite parent body in the asteroid belt 466 million years (Ma) ago
still delivers almost a third of all meteorites falling on Earth. Our new extraterrestrial chromite …

This article highlights the field geology, geochronology and geochemistry of an important
and previously unstudied region between eastern (Sør Rondane Mountains) and central …

In this contribution we review the possibility of establishing the depositional age and tectonic
settings of metamorphosed carbonate rocks from continental collision zones in the East …

Abstract Linear chains of Deformed Alkaline Rocks and Carbonatites (DARCs) mark sutures
where continents had rifted apart and later amalgamated. Since DARCs are products of two …

The Sør Rondane Mountains of eastern Dronning Maud Land, East Antarctica can be
subdivided into two different crustal terranes: the NE-terrane and the SW-terrane. The former …

High-grade para-and orthogneissic rocks near the Chilka Lake granulite complex, northern
part of the Eastern Ghats Belt show complex structural and petrological history. Based on …

Micrometeorites originate from the interplanetary dust complex and continuously fall to the
Earth's surface in large amounts. About 10 to 20% of micrometeorites are not melted upon …
