“…Polycyclic Paleoproterozoic evolution is well documented in orogenic terranes worldwide, mostly directly related to Paleoproterozoic supercontinents, such as the Trans-North China Belt orogen (Faure et al, 2004), Trans-Hudson orogen in the USA/Canada (White et al, 2000;Corrigan et al, 2009;Maxeiner et al, 2005), Ungava Orogen in Canada (St-Onge et al, 1992, 2000, and Oskarshamn-J€ onk€ oping Belt in Sweden (Manfeld et al, 2005;Ski€ old and Rutland, 2006). On the other hand, Statherian-Caliminian extensional events are also coherent with worldwide descriptions and are commonly referred to as the early break-up stages of large Paleoproterozoic land masses (Condie, 2002;Zhao et al, 2004;Meert, 2012).…”
