Abstract U–Pb and Lu-Hf data are routinely used to trace detrital zircon in clastic sediments
to their original source in crystalline bedrock (the protosource), to map out paths of sediment …

Carbonate minerals have precipitated from seawater for at least the last 3.8 billion years, but
changes in the physical and chemical properties of carbonate rocks demonstrate that the …

The composition of the fine-grained matrix of glacial diamictites from the Mesoarchean,
Paleoproterozoic, Neoproterozoic, and Paleozoic, collected from four modern continents …

The age and properties of detrital zircon in a sediment reflect properties of the rocks in which
the zircon crystallized, and not necessarily the immediate precursor of the host sediment …

The tectono-depositional evolution of the Yangtze Block during the Ediacaran–Cambrian
transition is controversial, leading to uncertainties in understanding the life-environment co …

The study of large-scale and long-term sedimentary hiatus and exhumation in vast intraplate
basins is of great significance for unravelling their tectonic development, morphodynamics …

Early Neoproterozoic metaigneous rocks occur in the central part of the Kaoko–Dom
Feliciano–Gariep orogenic system along the coasts of the southern Atlantic Ocean. In the …

Some recent models challenge the position and extension of the assumed oceanic basins
formed through the break-up of Rodinia, and the tectonic processes involved in the …

Titanium isotopes recorded in glacial diamictites with depositional ages between 2.9 and 0.3
Ga show that the upper continental crust became significantly more felsic relative to the …

Large igneous provinces and associated silicic magmatism can have a significant global
climatic effect, so we explored the relationship between the large igneous province record …
