The structural geology of the northeastern Paleoproterozoic Amer belt, central Nunavut, has been evaluated in light new field mapping combined with legacy data and independently acquired subsurface geophysics data. Proterozoic sequences Ps1–Ps4 supergroup unconformably overlie Archean basement. Of these sequences, Ps1–Ps3 have intensely deformed (D 1 ) association Snowbird Orogeny (2.05–1.865 G...

Variably oriented dolerite intrusions outcrop in the Albany–Fraser Orogen along south coast of Western Australia with previously unknown ages but where previous studies interpreted Mesoproterozoic to Cretaceous emplacement. Here, we place temporal constraints on seven mafic across ∼150 km using zircon U–Pb, apatite and plagioclase 40Ar/39Ar geochronology, coupled whole-rock major trace-element ...

The Minas-Bahia orogeny juxtaposed Archean crustal fragments and Paleoproterozoic magmatic arcs to form the São Francisco-Congo Paleocontinent by Rhyacian (ca. 2.05 Ga). Unravelling Minas segment of Orogenic Belt (MBO) is an important key understanding role in construction Columbia Supercontinent. Orosirian 1.9 Ga) final amalgamation was preceded a complex history accretion nuclei Proterozoic a...

Mountain uplifts have generated new ecologic opportunities for plants, and triggered evolutionary processes, favouring an increase on the speciation rate in all continents. Moreover, mountain ranges may act as corridors or barriers for plant lineages and populations. In South America a high rate of diversification has been linked to Andean orogeny during Pliocene/Miocene. More recently, Pleisto...

Detailed structural geological and related studies were carried out in a number of critical areas in the Proterozoic basement of eastern Egypt to resolve the structural pattern at a regional scale and to assess the general characteristics of tectonic evolution, orogeny and terrane boundaries. Following a brief account of the tectonostratigraphy and timing of the orogenic evolution, the major st...

The northern Asia, including the southern territories of Russia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Mongolia and the northern China is known as an important distribution region of uranium deposits and occurrences. Since the 60s of 20th century, after the successful development of in-situ leach technology for sandstone-hosted uranium deposits, numerous uranium deposits previously discovered in Kazakhstan a...
