The Pouni area is made up of basalts belonging to the Boromo belt, lamprophyres and granitoids. These geological formations are similar to geological formations of the same type in other regions of the Palaeoproterozo...
FFB and EWFdR are indebted to the Dutch Dr.Schürmann Foundation(SF)for Precambrian research(www.dr-schuermannfonds.nl)for generous support for all field work since 2005,in particular grant numbers 86/2012 and 100/2014 for the present study;The SF also funded SHRIMP analyses by Keewook Yi(KBSI,Korea)and LA-ICP-MS analyses at Utrecht University and Münster University(Germany),for zircon U–Th–Pb geochronology.
We constrain the multistage tectonic evolution of the Palaeoproterozoic UHT metamorphic(P=0.9–1.0 GPa,T>1000℃,t=2088–2031 Ma)Bakhuis Granulite Belt(BGB)in Surinam on the Guiana Shield,using large-to small-scale str...

We present new U-Pb and Hf zircon isotope data on a suite of granitoids from a hitherto unstudied area of the Palaeoproterozoic Lupa terrane of the Ubendian belt in SW Tanzania.The major part of the area comprises a s...

Compositional peculiarities of the siliceous high-Mg series(SHMS)rocks formed at the Archean-Paleoproterozoic boundary as a function of plume activity are discussed using example of Early Paleoproterozoic mafic volcan...
The Paleoproterozoic Aravalli Supregroup of rocks, hosted in Aravalli Craton of NW shield, is deposited in shallow and deep water conditions. The major lithologies are phyllites and quartzites with significant compone...
This discussion of a paper by Van Loon et al.(2016), published in the Journal of Palaeogeography(2016, 5(4), 381e390), is aimed at illustrating that there are fundamental deficiencies, which include(1)incomple...
Our contribution about a newly recognized sedimentological feature, which we called tombolith,has raised some comments on the etymology of the term, the assumed lack of field data, the usage of a term that has a speci...
project was supported by the Foundation Dr Schurmannfonds,grants no.34/2006 and 57/2009,67/2010 and 82/2012;the DST and the Department of Geology,Calcutta University for financial support and infrastructural support
It is demonstrated here for the first time how Palaeoproterozoic stromatolites survived seismic disturbance of their substrate. The stromatolites under study could have been cyanobacteria or any other photo-autotrophi...
In this contribution we use VMS mineral systems in the Bryah rift-basin to constrain the tectonic setting of the widespread mafic and ultramafic magmatism that characterises the rift-basin in question.Two distinct,but...
The Singhbhum craton of the eastern India consists of the Singhbhum Granite Complex(SGC)and the Chotanagpur Gneissic Complex(CGC)separated by the Singhbhum Mobile Belt(SMB).The CGC is intruded by Mesoproterozoic as we...
