Did Patagonia collide with Gondwana in the Late Paleozoic? Some insights from a multidisciplinary study of magmatic units of the North Patagonian Massif by A.E. RAPALINI, M.G. LÓPEZ DE LUCHI, C. MARTÍNEZ DOPICO, F.G. LINCE KLINGER, M.E. GIMÉNEZ, PATRICIA MARTÍNEZ

“…Crustal continuity between the North Patagonian Massif and the Pampia and Arequipa- Antofalla terranes is suggested by similar Late Paleoproterozoic crustal model ages, comparable detrital zircon ages in Early Paleozoic successions, the apparent continuity of an Early Ordovician continental magmatic arc and paleomagnetic data. …”

The Crustal Anisotropy of West Ordos Block and Its Geodynamic Implications by Jinyu Lv, Xuzhang Shen, Liuting Huang, Xiaohui He, He Huang, Wenjun Zheng, Dongli Zhang, Jian Zhang

“…The fast wave direction of crustal anisotropy in the north Ordos block is distinctly different from that in the south Ordos block, both well related to the major geological events, such as the Paleoproterozoic continent‐to‐continent collision between the Ordos Block and the Yinshan Block, the collision between the Western Block and Eastern Block of the North China Craton and the material migration from the Tibetan plateau in Cenozoic. …”

Combined Genomic and Imaging Techniques Show Intense Arsenic Enrichment Caused by Detoxification in a Microbial Mat of the Dead Sea Shore by C. Thomas, M. Filella, D. Ionescu, S. Sorieul, C. G. L. Pollier, A. M. Oehlert, P. Zahajská, N. Gedulter, A. Agnon, D. Ferreira Sanchez, D. Ariztegui

“…In this context, this example calls for caution in interpreting metal(loid) enrichment in organic matter‐rich layers and microbialites of Paleoproterozoic origin. Arsenic signatures in Precambrian organic matter and carbonate rocks may host biosignatures, including evidence for extracellular polymeric substances, As‐binding and detoxification processes, without supporting arsenotrophy. …”

Imaging the East European Craton margin in northern Poland using extended correlation processing of regional seismic reflection profiles by M. Mężyk, M. Malinowski, S. Mazur

“…Our new processing revealed reflectivity patterns, which we primarily associate with the Paleoproterozoic crust formed during the Svekofennian (Svekobaltic) orogeny, that are similar to those observed along the BABEL and FIRE profiles in the Baltic Sea and Finland, respectively. …”

FIELD TECTONOPHYSICS IN SOLUTIONS OF GEODYNAMIC EVOLUTION PROBLEMS OF THE UKRAINE TERRITORY by O. B. Gintov, A. V. Murovskaya, S. V. Mychak

“…Until the turn of 2.05–2.10 billion years, the region was subject to transtension and transpression, as the Western (gneiss-granulite) and Eastern (granite-greenstone) Archean microplates of USh moved to separate from each other in the Neo-Archean and then diverged and converged in the Paleoproterozoic (movements at a sharp angle). It is assumed that in the Archean the Western and Eastern microplates were separated by the oceanic or sub-oceanic lithosphere (Fig. 12, 13). …”

Using ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr LA-MC-ICP-MS Transects within Modern and Ancient Calcite Crystals to Determine Fluid Flow Events in Deep Granite Fractures by Henrik Drake, Ellen Kooijman, Melanie Kielman-Schmitt

“…Here, we apply high spatial resolution ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr spot analysis (80 µm) in transects through zoned calcite crystals in deep Paleoproterozoic granitoid fractures using laser ablation multi-collector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-MC-ICP-MS) to trace discrete signs of paleofluid flow events. …”

A Contiguous Taltson‐Thelon Margin Revisited by J. A. Cutts, B. V. Dyck, M. G. Perrot, J. H. F. L. Davies, A. M. Osinchuk, D. Šilerová, R. A. Stern, M. Chiaradia, R. Canam

“…Samples collected to the north of the LRf are Neoarchean in age, have mantle‐like δ18O (4.7–5.8‰) and chondritic to juvenile εHf values (0–4.5), whereas those to the south are exclusively Paleoproterozoic in age and have more elevated δ18O (6.3–7‰) and much more evolved εHf values (−12 to −6); these results indicate that the LRf marks a crustal‐scale suture between the Slave craton and the Taltson magmatic zone. …”

Mapping the Structure and Metasomatic Enrichment of the Lithospheric Mantle Beneath the Kimberley Craton, Western Australia by Z. J. Sudholz, A. L. Jaques, G. M. Yaxley, W. R. Taylor, K. Czarnota, M. W. Haynes, L. Frewer, R. R. Ramsay, P. J. Downes, S. A. Cooper

“…The peridotite components are inferred to have formed as residues of polybaric partial mantle melting in the Archean, whereas eclogite likely represents former oceanic crust accreted during Paleoproterozoic subduction. This deep CLM was metasomatized by H2O‐rich melts derived from subducted sediments and high‐temperature FeO‐TiO2 melts from the asthenosphere.…”

Konate, Mamadou L. Bouare, Anthony T. Bolarinwa, Daniel Kwayisi, Raymond Webrah Kazapoe, Elhadji Mory Traore, N.’Tcha Daniel Kouagou N’Dah

“…These signatures suggest a hybrid origin involving juvenile mantle melts and recycled Paleoproterozoic crust during an accretionary orogen. The Mg# and SiO2 contents of the granitoids' along with REE patterns and Ba, Sr, and Eu anomalies, imply melting of the delaminated lower crust. …”

Uranium Redox and Deposition Transitions Embedded in Deep‐Time Geochemical Models and Mineral Chemistry Networks by E. K. Moore, J. Li, A. Zhang, J. Hao, S. M. Morrison, D. R. Hummer, N. Yee

“…The number of U6+ mineral localities surpasses the number of U4+ mineral localities in the Paleoproterozoic. Moreover, the number of sedimentary U6+ mineral localities increases earlier in the Phanerozoic than the number of U4+ sedimentary mineral localities, likely due to the necessity of sufficient sedimentary organic matter to reduce U6+–U4+. …”

Wildfires and Monsoons: Cryptic Drivers for Highly Variable Provenance Signals within a Carboniferous Fluvial System by Bébhinn Anders, Shane Tyrrell, David Chew, Gary O’Sullivan, Chris Mark, John Graham, Eszter Badenszki, John Murray

“…Older and more distal sources, such as the Nagssugtoqidian Belt of East Greenland, become more prominent in stratigraphically younger channel sandstones suggesting catchment expansion. Paleoproterozoic to Mesoproterozoic sources are most dominant, yet the detrital grain cargo varies in each channel sandstone. …”

Reexamination of the crustal boundary context of Mesoproterozoic granites in southern Nevada using U-Pb zircon chronology and Nd and Pb isotopic compositions by Almeida, Rafael V., Cai, Yue, Hemming, Sidney R., Christie-Blick, Nicholas, Neiswanger, Lila S.

“…The modified isotopic province boundaries are now more consistent with each other than in earlier interpretations, a result that reinforces the view that these boundaries reflect fundamental tectonic features related to Paleoproterozoic crustal accretion. Our data imply that the spatial distribution of the classic anorogenic granite suite in North America is more restricted than previously thought. …”

“…The U-Pb zircon age of the Holenarsipur basalts indicate 3235 ± 54 Ma with multiple thermal overprints after their deposition due to Paleoproterozoic to Mesozoic dyke emplacement. The Holenarsipur and Chitradurga basalts show partial melting trend whereas the Shimoga basalts follow fractional crystallization trajectory. …”
