Depositional and tectonic setting of the Archean Moodies Group, Barberton Greenstone Belt, South Africa.
The 3.22-3.10 Ga old Moodies Group, uppermost unit of the Swaziland Supergroup in the Barberton Greenstone Belt (BGB), is the oldest exposed, well-preserved quartz-rich sedimentary sequence on earth. It is preserved in structurally separate blocks in a heavily deformed fold-and-thrust belt. North of the Inyoka Fault, Moodies strata reach up to 3700 m in thickness. Detailed mapping, correlation ...
متن کاملProvenance and Tectonic Setting of Late Archaean Greywackes from Dharwar Craton: Karnataka, India
Geochemical characteristics of greywacke and intercalated phyllites from Haveri and Dharwad block (long N 75° 10' to 75° 25' E and lat 15° 30' to 45° 00'S and (long 75° 05'E and lat S 15° 15' to 15° 35') of Shimoga basin have been studied to unravel the provenance and the tectonic setting of the greywackes. The greywackes are medium grained feldspatholithic and show presence of perthitic feldsp...
متن کاملSedimentology, mineralogy and sedimentary geochemistry of the Late Quaternary sedimentary sequence of Gavkhoni Playa by looking at the paleoclimate
The sediments of the Playa Lake are sensitive indicators of local climates that any change in climate, hydrology, and sedimentary environment will cause changes in the physical and chemical properties of the sediments. These sediments create a valuable and important archive with high resolution to examine these changes in the past. One method of studying climate change during quaternary and oft...
متن کاملPervasive oxygenation along late Archaean ocean margins
The photosynthetic production of oxygen in the oceans is thought to have begun by 2.7 billion years ago, several hundred million years before appreciable accumulation of oxygen in the atmosphere. However, the abundance and distribution of dissolved oxygen in the late Archaean oceans is poorly constrained. Here we present geochemical profiles from 2.6to 2.5-billion-year-old black shales from the...
