Abstract Comparison of conglomerate-hosted, Witwatersrand-type gold deposits and/or
occurrences worldwide reveals that this deposit type is by no means unique to the Kaapvaal …

Paleogeography is critical as a backdrop for environmental changes, yet the
Paleoproterozoic configuration of Archean cratons remains controversial. The Snowy Pass …

Arc-continent collision, followed by subduction polarity flip, occurs during closure of oceanic
basins and contributes to the growth of continental crust. Such a setting may lead to a highly …

The origin of pegmatites has been at the core of petrological research for decades, but
despite much effort their origin remains controversial–protracted fractionation of a causative …

With the increasing availability of U-Pb-Hf isotope analysis of zircon suites, does whole-rock
Nd isotope analysis still have a role to play in mapping Precambrian gneiss terranes? I …
