6. Conclusions
- The ANS basement rocks of the NED revealed two distinguishable temporal phases of igneous events: (a) the syn-collisional phase, characterized by the presence of calc-alkaline (Gray) and alkaline (Red) granitoids, developed between 758 ± 5 Ma and 653 ± 7 Ma, and (b) post-collisional activities, which were initiated by the eruption of the Dokhan Volcanics around 618 Ma, followed by the development of calc-alkaline (Gray) and alkaline (Red) granitoids from 583 ± 5 Ma to 555 ± 4 Ma.
- The compressional tectonic regime dominated in the NED from 758 ± 5 Ma to ca. 618 Ma (at which point the transition from the compressional to the extensional regime began), and the extensional tectonic setting has dominated since ca. 583 ± 5 Ma.
- EAO magmatic activity in the NED continued up to the Pre-Cambrian/Palaeozoic boundary, as indicated by the younger granitoid age of 555 ± 4 Ma.
- Differentiating “older” and “younger” granitic magmatism according to their apparent compositional differences fails to adequately reflect the geological processes in the ANS, leading to inaccurate interpretations of temporal magmatic sequencing and tectonic evolution.
- Although no pre-Neoproterozoic rock was identified in the studied region, the occurrence of xenocrystic zircons suggests the potential for older basement components, which are likely confined to specific localities or entirely eroded.
- There is potential for post-Pan-African volcanic activity during the Late Ordovician period, indicating continued magmatic processes beyond the Pan-African orogeny.
