Gold metallogeny of the northern Capricorn Orogen

Lithospheric structure of the Pilbara Craton, Capricorn Orogen and northern Yilgarn Craton, Western Australia, from teleseismic receiver functions

The upper lithospheric structure from the Pilbara Craton, across the Capricorn Orogen, to the northern Yilgarn Craton is determined from high-fidelity broadband seismic data. Three-component temporary stations were deployed in a line running southwards from Marble Bar, Western Australia, at approximately 118 E longitude. They were in position between July and October 2000. Receiver functions ar...

Metallogeny and the New Global Tectonics

— The economic implications of the new global tectonics are reviewed according to plate anatomy. The uprises, stable platforms, downflows, and median zones exhibit particular features in ore genesis. Intercontinental metallogenic provinces, and intersection of transform fault trajectories with local structures as ore controls are discussed. Possible applications to Turkey are considered.

Elements of an orogen: regional trends in the geology of the appalachian-caledonian-hercynian-mauritanide orogen.

Post-amalgamation basins of the NE Arabian shield and implications for Neoproterozoic III tectonism in the northern East African orogen

The development and structure of Neoproterozoic III volcanosedimentary basins in the northeastern part of the Arabian shield record periods of uplift, erosion, extension, subsidence, compression, and strike-slip faulting that postdated the completion of terrane amalgamation in the northern East African orogen (EAO) and predated the initiation of a passive margin on the northern flank of the Gon...

Structural Controls on gold mineralization on the margin of the Yilgarn craton, Albany–Fraser orogen: The Tropicana Deposit, Western Australia

25 26 The Tropicana gold deposit is located adjacent to the margin of the Yilgarn craton in 27 the Albany–Fraser orogen, Western Australia. The deposit is hosted in granulite facies 28 quartzo-feldspathic gneisses of the Archean Tropicana Gneiss. Ore bodies comprise 29 biotite-pyrite alteration concentrated in shear zones that formed during NE-SW 30 shortening in the late Archean, and clearly p...
