Abstract The Singhbhum Craton and supracrustal provinces in eastern India are one of a
few Precambrian terranes that record protracted sedimentation and magmatism spanning …

Abstract The Singhbhum Craton of East India has a remarkably well-preserved Archaean
geological record that rivals those of the Kaapvaal and Pilbara cratons. Based on a critical …

Detailed LAM-ICPMS U–Pb dating and LAM-MC-ICPMS Lu–Hf isotope analysis were
carried out on zircons from nine samples of basement metamorphic rocks in the southern …

The Tarim Block is an important tectonic unit to understand the Proterozoic tectonic
framework of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt and the supercontinent Rodinia. The granitic …

Abstract Sensitive High-Resolution Ion Microprobe (SHRIMP) U-Pb analyses of zircons from
Paleoarchean (~ 3.4 Ga) tonalite-gneiss called the Older Metamorphic Tonalitic Gneiss …

When and how Earth's earliest continents—the cratons—first emerged above the oceans (ie,
emersion) remain uncertain. Here, we analyze a craton-wide record of Paleo-to …

The Precambrian geologic history of Peninsular India covers nearly 3.0 billion years of time.
India is presently attached to the Eurasian continent although it remains (for now) a separate …

Extending along the east coast of peninsular India, the Eastern Ghats expose a deep section
through a composite orogenic belt that once formed part of the Proterozoic mobile belt …

207Pb/206Pb ages of zircon from gneissic rocks and granitoids representing all major
lithological units of the Bundelkhand massif, northern India, have been determined using an …

U–Pb geochronology and Lu–Hf isotopic studies on detrital zircons from late Neoproterozoic
sediments of the Cathaysia block, South China, show abundant Grenville-age (∼ 1.0 Ga) …
