Distribution of the Pan‐African Domains in East Antarctica and Adjacent Areas
Abstract The Pan‐African event is widely distributed in East Antarctica craton. Many terranes or outcrops of the craton bear more or less signs of the event. From characteristics of the shear zones, granites, pegmatites, feature and time of high grade metamorphism and detrital zircon ages peaks of t...

Abstract The Pan‐African event is widely distributed in East Antarctica craton. Many terranes or outcrops of the craton bear more or less signs of the event.
