Regularities and geohistorical prerequisites of oil and gas specialization of rift sedimentary basins of Africa by Valentina M. Usova

“…The differentiation of basins into tectonotypes of “incomplete” and “completed” development, as well as the asynchronous deflection of the latter reflected in their oil and gas specialization, correlate accordingly with the size and age of the Pan-African granulite belts in which the basins were laid. …”

Provenance shift in Cambrian mid-Baltica: detrital zircon chronology of Ediacaran–Cambrian sandstones in Estonia by Yukio Isozaki, Anne Põldvere, Heikki Bauert, Hiroki Nakahata, Kazumasa Aoki, Shuhei Sakata, Takafumi Hirata

“…The new data provided the following information on the provenance of siliciclastic material as well as a major change in the sedimentary regime of the Paleo-Baltic basin during the Early Cambrian: (1) the Ediacaran–Lower Cambrian Paleo-Baltic basin received abundant terrigenous clastics from the core of Baltica underlain by the Archean–Mesoproterozoic crystalline crust, (2) the exposed surface area of the 1600 Ma Rapakivi granites apparently was more extensive during the Ediacaran–Early Cambrian than at present, (3) a major re-organization of the basin geometry occurred in the middle Early Cambrian (ca 530–515 Ma) in central Baltica, inducing a change in the sediment supply system, (4) in contrast to the total absence of Neoproterozoic detrital zircon grains before the middle Early Cambrian, their sudden appearance at this time, together with consistent occurrence at least until the mid-Devonian, suggests a significant uplift event located in southeast Baltica and/or in a more easterly land domain (e.g., in Sarmatia), (5) possible sources for the Neoproterozoic zircon grains include the peripheral mobile belts with pan-African signatures around Baltica, e.g., the so-called Gondwanan fragments along the Tornquist margin to the southwest and the Timanian belt along the northeastern margin.…”
