Pangea supercontinent cycle and metallogenic belts
Convener: Pierpaolo Guarnieri | Co-conveners: Jaroslaw Majka, Lars Eivind Augland, Karolina KośmińskaECSECS
Ore-forming processes during the supercontinent cycle are mainly associated with tectono-thermal events and crustal deformation along subduction zones and orogenic wedges. The amalgamation of the supercontinent Pangea was completed in the Paleozoic along with the Caledonian, Variscan and Ellesmerian orogens that now represent the core of central Europe, Scandinavia, East Greenland and the Arctic. The potential for mineral resources supply in Europe, particularly for the Critical Raw Materials (CRMs), can be strengthened with a better understanding of the deformation history and ore-forming processes, defining the favorable metallogenic belts and tracing along the orogenic belts of the supercontinent Pangea. Aims of the session are to receive contributions describing the tectono-thermal, sedimentary and structural evolution associated with the assembly of Pangea focusing on ore-forming processes, with the purpose of defining metallogenic belts, with special attention on CRMs.
