A synthesis of the evolution of the Neoproterozoic belts or orogens surrounding the São Francisco craton (SFC) in northeastern and southeastern Brazil is presented. Emphasis is placed on recognizing the superposition of sedimentary basins, fro...
The Pre-Caledonian margin of Baltica has been outlined as a tapering wedge with increasing magmatism towards the ocean–continent transition. It is, however, well known that margins are complex, with different and diachronous evolution along and...
The connection between crustal anatexis and magmatism is key to understanding the mechanisms that drive the evolution of the continental crust. Isotope geology and lithochemistry are important tools for reconstructing links between these processes, a...
Timor is situated in the Lesser Sunda chain of islands in the non-volcanic outer Banda Arc of the Australia–Southeast Asia orogen. Diachronous collision of the irregular passive margin of Australia with the detached margin of SE Asia in the Mio...
Since the early Paleozoic, numerous metallogenic events produced in the Sardinian massif a singular concentration of mineral deposits of various kinds. Among them, the Variscan metallogenic peak represents a late Paleozoic phase of diffuse ore format...
