Available lithostratigraphic, tectonothermal, geochronological and paleomagnetic data from
2.1–1.8 Ga collisional orogens and related cratonic blocks around the world have …

Geological and paleomagnetic data support the hypothesis that a Paleo-Mesoproterozoic
supercontinent, referred to as Columbia, existed before the formation of Rodinia. This pre …

The global Archean record preserves ca. 35 large cratonic fragments and a less well defined
number of smaller slivers. Most Archean cratons display rifted margins of Proterozoic age …

In this study we demonstrate that the combination of U–Pb and Lu–Hf isotope data obtained
by laser ablation-inductive coupled plasma-mass spectrometry provides a powerful tool for …

We present a new analysis of the lithospheric architecture of Africa, and its evolution from ca.
3.6 Ga to the present. Upper-lithosphere domains, generated or reworked in different time …

Useful U–Pb isotopic data may be obtained from sphene (or titanite, CaTiSiO5) because:(1)
it is a widespread accessory mineral,(2) it can incorporate uranium in its structure, and (3) it …

Trace element concentrations and combined Sr-and Nd-isotope compositions were
determined on stromatolitic carbonates (microbialites) from the 2.52 Ga Campbellrand …

Established pre-Rodinian connections between cratonic blocks around the world lead to the
proposal of a Paleo-Mesoproterozoic supercontinent, named Columbia, which may have …

Modern-style plate tectonics can be tracked into the geologic past with petrotectonic
assemblages and other plate-tectonic indicators. These indicators suggest that modern plate …

Abstract U–Pb and Lu–Hf isotope analyses, obtained by laser ablation-sector field-
inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry on zircon grains from 37 granitoid samples …
