The Paleoproterozoic Waterberg Group, South Africa: Provenance and its relation to the timing of the Limpopo orogeny
TLDR
The results of point counting, major and trace element geochemistry, and U-Pb detrital zircon geochronology indicate that the Waterberg sedimentary formations in the study area were primarily sourced by siliceous (rifted margin) sedimentary and minor mafic volcanic rocks of the Archean Beit Bridge Complex, Limpopo Central Zone as discussed by the authors.About:

Paleoproterozoic I-type granites and their implications for the Yangtze block position in the Columbia supercontinent: Evidence from the Lengshui Complex, South China
TL;DR: In this paper, an integrated study of major and trace element data, SHRIMP and LA ICP-MS zircon U-Pb age data, and Hf isotopic data for the granites from the Lengshui Complex in the northern Yangtze Block is reported.

The role of U-Pb ages of detrital zircons in sedimentology-An alarming case study for the impact of sampling for provenance interpretation
TL;DR: In this article, U-Pb LA-ICP-MS analysis on detrital zircons from two samples of Cambrian age (Herreria Formation, Cantabrian Mountains, Spain) revealed very different provenance signatures at the base and top of the formation.

Successive sedimentary recycling regimes in southwestern Gondwana: Evidence from detrital zircons in Neoproterozoic to Cambrian sedimentary rocks in southern Africa
TL;DR: In this paper, detrital zircon data from the Gariep, Saldania and Damara Belts and the Nama Group of South Africa and Namibia, which were deposited between ca. 750 and ca. 550 Ma, have been used to trace the trace of detritus in a deposit from source to sink.

New U–Pb geochronologic and palaeomagnetic constraints on the late Palaeoproterozoic Hartley magmatic event: evidence for a potential large igneous province in the Kaapvaal Craton during Kalahari assembly, South Africa

TL;DR: In this paper, the age and palaeopole of the Hartley Formation were derived for the mafic and felsic phases of a large-scale 1.93-1.91-Ga bimodal magmatism on the Kaapvaal Craton.

Zircon ages defining deposition of the Palaeoproterozoic Soutpansberg Group and further evidence for Eoarchaean crust in South Africa
TL;DR: The Soutpansberg Group is subdivided into a lower and upper succession, which are separated from each other by a prominent regional unconformity as mentioned in this paper, and the oldest zircon grains have rounded shapes, however it is not clear whether they are mainly xenocrystic or detrital and have been rounded by resorption in a silicic magma chamber.

Sedimentary Rocks and Crustal Evolution: Tectonic Setting and Secular Trends
TL;DR: A significant change in the composition of turbidites deposited at active tectonic settings is seen at the Archean/post-Archean transition as discussed by the authors, indicating that the general process of cratonization, including intracrustal differentiation, has taken place since at least 3...

Basic types of stratification in small eolian dunes
TL;DR: The thinnest recognizable strata in modern eolian dune sands can be grouped into six classes as discussed by the authors : planebed laminae, rippleform laminaes, ripple-foreset crosslaminae, climbing translatent strata, grainfall lamina, and sandflow cross-strata.

Detrital sedimentary rock classification and nomenclature for use in New Zealand
TL;DR: In this paper, Gravel, sand, silt, and clay are end members of triangular diagrams that are divided into named textural categories in accord with apparent natural groupings.
