A largely convergent setting is proposed for crustal, tectonic and basin evolution of the
intracratonic regions of north‐central Australia between 1800 and 1575 Ma. The new …

In this book, the first dedicated entirely to the petrology of lamproites and their relationships
to other potassium-rich rocks, the objective of the authors is to provide a comprehensive …

I-type granites are produced by partial melting of older igneous rocks that are metaluminous
and hence have not undergone any significant amount of chemical weathering. In the …

This paper presents a plate tectonic model for the evolution of the Australian continent
between ca. 1800 and 1100Ma. Between ca. 1800 and 1600Ma episodic orogenesis …

It is postulated that a mantle superswell (convective upwelling thousands of kilometres in
diameter) developed beneath a stationary supercontinent aggregated in the late Early …

The Gawler craton is the major crustal province in the southern Australian Proterozoic and is
pivotal in models seeking to describe the evolution of Proterozoic Australia. The craton is …

A model that places development of IOCG (and porphyry-epithermal) mineralization at ca.
1.60–1.575 Ga in eastern Proterozoic Australia into the context of a modern-day …

Zircon U‐Pb SHRIMP ages and crustal Sm‐Nd signatures are reported for metasediments,
meta‐volcanics, and a variety of pre‐and post‐tectonic granitoid intrusives in the Eastern …

Through the application of both conventional U-Pb zircon analyses and small-sample U-Pb
isotopic analyses, the nature and timing of tectonic events leading to the formation of the …

The Archaean and Early–Middle Proterozoic (1.8–1.5 Ga) terranes of the North Australian
Craton and the South Australian Craton are separated by∼ 400 km of ca. 1.33–1.10-Ga …
