Late Paleoproterozoic orogenic evolution of the northern Tarim Craton, NW China: Insights from phase equilibrium modeling and zircon U-Pb geochronology of metapelitic granulite in the Kuluketage area

Yu Guo et al.

Summary: The global paleoproterozoic orogenic evolution plays an important role in understanding the assembly of the Columbia supercontinent. This study focuses on the northern Tarim region and reveals a paleoproterozoic tectono-thermal event related to the Columbia supercontinent assembly. However, the limited metamorphic investigations hindered the recognition of paleoproterozoic orogenic evolution in the northern Tarim, impacting the understanding of the relationship between Tarim Craton and the Columbia supercontinent. The study conducted petrography, zircon U-Pb geochronology, and phase equilibria modeling to analyze metapelitic granulite samples from the Xingditage Group. The results provide insights into the paleoproterozoic orogenic evolution in the northern Tarim Craton and propose a tectonic evolution scenario involving a collision with an unknown block prior to approximately 1.85 Ga.

Evidence for carbonatite derived from the earth's crust: The late Paleoproterozoic carbonate-rich magmatic rocks in the southeast Tarim Craton, northwest China

Hailin Wu et al.

Summary: This study documents the formation of large-scale igneous carbonate-rich rocks within the crust in the southeast Tarim Craton, challenging the prevailing view that carbonatites are derived from the mantle. The rocks show clear intrusive contact with wall rocks and contain xenoliths, indicating an igneous origin. Isotopic analysis and modeling suggest that these carbonate-rich rocks were formed through partial melting of impure marble at crustal level via fluid-present melting. This finding has significant implications for crust rheology and global carbon cycling.

GeoPS: An interactive visual computing tool for thermodynamic modelling of phase equilibria

Hua Xiang et al.

Summary: GeoPS is a program that enables the calculation of stable phase relations throughout the mantle and crust of terrestrial planets, with a wide range of phase equilibrium calculations and an intuitive graphical user interface. The novel Gibbs energy minimization algorithm in GeoPS provides robust and efficient solution to the phase equilibrium problem.

Juxtaposition of diverse, subduction-related tectonic blocks with contrasting metamorphic features and ages in the Paleoproterozoic Aketashitage orogen, NW China: Implications for Precambrian orogeny

Qian W. L. Zhang et al.

Summary: The comprehensive investigation of the early Precambrian Aketashitage orogenic belt provides insights into the plate tectonic features and metamorphic assemblages. The study reveals metamorphic characteristics indicative of subduction/collision zones and diverse rock compositions within the orogen. The findings suggest a Paleoproterozoic subduction-metamorphic-exhumation-accretionary process similar to Phanerozoic orogens.

Absence of evidence for Palaeoproterozoic eclogite-facies metamorphism in East Antarctica: no record of subduction orogenesis during Nuna development

Dillon A. Brown et al.

Summary: The Nuna supercontinent is composed of cratonic elements from Australia, East Antarctica, and Laurentia, with reconstructions based on paleomagnetic and geological evidence. Eclogite-facies rocks are rare in the ancient Earth (>1.5 Ga) but are crucial indicators of subduction and collisional orogenesis in the geological record. New zircon petrochronological data challenges previous interpretations of Palaeoproterozoic amalgamation, suggesting high-pressure metamorphism occurred during early Paleozoic Ross orogenesis instead.
