New age constraints for orogenic collapse and voluminous late-tectonic magmatism in the southern part of the East African-Antarctic Orogen
The southern third of the more than 8000 km long, Late Neoproterozoic/Early Paleozoic East African- Antarctic Orogen in Dronning Maud Land and northern Mozambique is characterised by lateral extrusion, late tectonic extensional shearing and large volumes of late tectonic igneous rocks. We provide ne...
