Amalgamating eastern Gondwana: The evolution of the Circum-Indian Orogens

TL;DR: In this article, the authors constrain the petrogenesis of granulites from Gondpipri, Bhopalpatnam on the northern flank and Karimnagar on the southern flank of the Pranhita-Godavari valley using petrography, mineral and whole-rock geochemistry, fluid inclusion studies, and U Pb zircon geochronology.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the present status of our understanding of Neoproterozoic to Cambrian tectonic evolution of the southern sector of East Gondwana and presented some of the key elements of new structural, geological and geochronological information obtained from the inland Sor Rondane Mountains in the Dronning Maud Land and surrounding regions.

TL;DR: In this article, a detailed cooling path for the Bemarivo Belt of northern Madagascar has been deciphered using geochronological methods (e.g. U-Pb zircon and monazite as well as titanite and apatite fission track dating).

TL;DR: In this article, the kinematic vorticity of high temperature mylonitic Abt schist in Al Amar area, extreme eastern Arabian Shield, ranges from ∼0.8 to 0.9.

TL;DR: Comparative geology suggests that the continents adjacent to northern, western, southern, and eastern Laurentia in the Late Proterozoic were Siberia, Australia-Antarctica, southern Africa, and Amazonia-Baltica, respectively.

TL;DR: The most important, rapid, and enigmatic changes in our Earth's environment and biota occurred during the Neoproterozoic Era (1000-540 million years ago; Ma).
