Origin, accretion, and reworking of continents
The continental crust is unique to the Earth in the solar system, and controversies remain
regarding its origin, accretion and reworking of continents. The plate tectonics theory has …

Antarctica—before and after Gondwana
SD Boger - Gondwana Research, 2011 - Elsevier
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 …

Sediment-hosted lead-zinc deposits in Earth history
Abstract Sediment-hosted Pb-Zn deposits can be divided into two major subtypes. The first
subtype is clastic-dominated lead-zinc (CD Pb-Zn) ores, which are hosted in shale …

Lithospheric, cratonic, and geodynamic setting of Ni-Cu-PGE sulfide deposits
The location of magmatic Ni-Cu-PGE sulfide deposits is related to lithospheric architecture,
particularly that of the subcontinental lithospheric mantle (SCLM). At crustal levels, this …
