TL;DR: In the Reguibat Shield of north Mauritania as discussed by the authors, a metamorphosed Palaeoproterozoic continental margin succession has been intruded by and intercalated with synorogenic granitoids and transported SW onto the Archaean foreland during sinistral oblique collision preserved as strongly partitioned D 1 shortening and D 2 strike-slip-dominated transpression within the Sfariat Belt.

TL;DR: The detrital zircon analysis from the Rhinog Formation, low in the Harlech Dome succession, reveals distinct clusters of ages around 537 Ma and 2.0-2.1 Ga as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, the Bemarivo Belt is modelled as a juvenile Neoproterozoic arc and the results broadly support that model. But the results of the study were limited to 14 U-Pb zircon dates and trace element data of representative rocks.

TL;DR: Goodenough et al. as discussed by the authors presented the results of a multidisciplinary study by the British Geological Survey (BGS) to produce 1:50 000 scale geological maps of the bedrock and superficial geology of the northern part of the UAE.

TL;DR: The Oman-UAE ophiolite is the world's largest ophiola as discussed by the authors and is divided into 12 separate fault bounded blocks, of which the northern three lie wholly or partly in the United Arab Emirates.
