A mylonitic granite, also part of the basement, yielded a date of intrusion of 543 ±7 Ma. The scatter of both detrital and xenocryst zircon ages between 612 ±6 and 3140 ±2 Ma virtually precludes northeastern Africa and Arabia as their provenance, but is compatible with a source in the Angara craton of Siberia. These results suggest that the Pan-African evolution in the Middle East may have ended by Angara's collision with Gondwana in the Early Cambrian. This content is PDF only.
