Distribution domains of the Pan-African event in East Antarctica and adjacent areas
The Pan-African event is widely distributed in East Antarctica (EA) craton, including both the coastal regions and interior of the EA. From aspects of the shear zones, granites, pegmatites, time of high-grade metamorphism and detrital zircon age peaks of the downflowing sediments from the inland, th...

The Pan-African event is widely distributed in East Antarctica (EA) craton, including both the coastal regions and interior of the EA.
