Beschreibung
This book shows the results of structural, compositional and evolutionary investigations of the Precambrian crust of the East European Craton in Lithuania and adjacent areas. This work contributes to the recognition of the platform basement, which remains weekly investigated worldwide, despite it encompassing the surfaces of cratons. It presents a methodological example of systematic studies of the covered platform basement, integrating petrological, geochemical, isotopic, and geophysical methods, as well as geological mapping, in order to present comprehensive geological picture of the subject matter. In a systematic and summarized form, factual data and intellectual material acquired by researchers are combined. Important papers and industrial reports (also written in Russian and Lithuanian) make this information accessible for both local and international scientists and practitioners and stimulate the advertising, application, and augmentation of this knowledge

Stimmen zu »The Precambrian Geology of Lithuania«
“This book carefully documents the remarkable, decades long journey of geologic exploration and the evolving interpretation of Lithuania’s deeply buried (literally, by hundreds of meters of sediments) geologic past. The story is all the more remarkable given that Lithuania’s crust has become extremely stable, tectonically dead: not a single seismic event has ever been recorded in the territory of Lithuania by seismic instruments or networks. I believe that this book provides the best, most thoroughly documented and scientifically current example of craton development and how the subduction process was operating in the crust as far back as two billion years ago, assembling what is now the solid core of one of Earth’s cratons. Researchers, students, geology instructors, and others interested in Earth’s early geologic evolution will find this book useful and fascinating reading.” (Douglas Prose, Earth Images Foundation)
