The generation, preservation and destruction of continental crust on Earth is of wide interest
in understanding the formation of continents, cratons and supercontinents as well as related …

Abstract The Dharwar Craton is a composite Archean cratonic collage that preserves
important records of crustal evolution on the early Earth. Here we present results from a …

We present SIMS U–Pb zircon ages and Nd isotope data for the felsic volcanic rocks from
seven Neoarchean greenstone belts of the Eastern Dharwar craton (EDC) and from the …

This contribution presents a comprehensive synthesis on the origin of oldest (3600–3200
Ma) cratonic core in the Western Dharwar Craton (WDC), Southern India based our new …

A multidisciplinary study involving field, petrographic, SHRIMP U–Pb zircon/titanite ages,
whole rock geochemical and Nd–Sr isotope data is presented for the Peninsular Gneisses …

This contribution addresses the time framework of the regional metamorphism in the three
crustal provinces making the Archean Dharwar craton. We present results of texturally …

ABSTRACT The Mauranipur and Babina greenstone belts of the Bundelkhand Craton are
formed of the Central Bundelkhand greenstone complex (CBGC). This complex represents …

The formation and growth of continental crust in the Archean have been evaluated through
models of subduction–accretion and mantle plume. The Nilgiri Block in southern India …

The Precambrian geological history of Peninsular India covers nearly 3.0 Ga. The Peninsula
is an assembly of five different cratonic nuclei known as the Aravalli–Bundelkhand, Eastern …

New in situ U–Pb-Hf analyses of detrital zircons from across the Archaean Dharwar craton
indicate significant juvenile crustal extraction events at~ 3.3 and 2.7 Ga, and continuous …
