We present here a global geochemical dataset from one hundred-and-five greenstone
sequences, ranging in age from the Eoarchean through the Archean and Proterozoic Eons …

The western two-thirds of Australia is underlain by Precambrian rocks that are divisible into
three Archean to Paleoproterozoic cratons, the West Australian, North Australian and South …

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 …

Australian Proterozoic rocks host significant mineral resources, some of which are amongst
the largest in the world with about 50% of the value of Australian mineral production from …

The Capricorn Orogen was initiated during Palaeoproterozoic suturing events that brought
together the Archaean Yilgarn and Pilbara cratons to form the West Australian Craton. The …

A global survey of sutures predating formation of the supercontinent Rodinia, ie, older than
ca. 0.9–1.0 Ga, has yielded evidence for at least 35 described and possible ophiolite …

" Inspired by a GSA Penrose Conference held in Lander, Wyoming, June 14-18, 2006, this
volume discusses the beginning and evolution of plate tectonics on Earth, and gives readers …

The Capricorn Orogen in central Western Australia records the Palaeoproterozoic collision
of the Archaean Pilbara and Yilgarn Cratons. Until recently only one orogenic event was …

Zircon outgrowths are present on detrital zircon grains in many very low to low-grade
metasedimentary rocks worldwide, ranging in age from mid-Archaean to Palaeozoic. The …

The effect of selective preservation during transportation of zircon grains on the detrital age
spectrum is difficult to quantify and could potentially lead to systematic bias in provenance …
