Abstract The East African Orogen, extending from southern Israel, Sinai and Jordan in the
north to Mozambique and Madagascar in the south, is the world́s largest Neoproterozoic to …

The origin of the Antarctic continent can be traced to a relatively small late Archaean cratonic
nucleus centred on the Terre Adélie regions of East Antarctica and the Gawler Craton region …

The assembly of the eastern part of Gondwana (eastern Africa, Arabian–Nubian shield
(ANS), Seychelles, India, Madagascar, Sri Lanka, East Antarctica and Australia) resulted …

Abstract The Arabian-Nubian Shield froms the suture between East and West Gondwana at

▪ Abstract Neither geologists nor biologists have a definition that is capable of classifying
Madagascar unambiguously as an island or a continent; nor can they incorporate Malagasy …

This contribution emphasizes first-order structural and metamorphic characters of
Precambrian accretionary orogens to understand the kinematics and thermomechanical …

Recent work in central and northern Madagascar has identified five tectonic units of the East
African Orogen (EAO), a large collisional zone fundamental to the amalgamation of …

The dominant occurrence of phosphate minerals in crystalline rocks is as accessory phases,
most notably apatite, monazite, and xenotime. Because these minerals tend, to varying …

This study addresses the tectonic and mechanical significance of crustal‐scale strain and
shear zone patterns in the South Indian Precambrian lithosphere. It is based on a tectonic …

Madagascar lay in an interesting position in Gondwana, straddling one of the largest
orogens that formed as the supercontinent amalgamated. The Malagasy basement …
