Early Paleoproterozoic emplacement of the Ihouhaouene carbonatite and syenite (Western Hoggar, South Algeria), at the onset of regional UHT metamorphism
Key Points
Emplacement of Ihouhaouene carbonatite and syenite occurred during the Early Paleoproterozoic.
Geological findings indicate a strong link between the emplacement and regional ultra-high temperature metamorphism.
Samples from Western Hoggar reveal significant insights into the geological history of the area.
These discoveries highlight important processes that shaped the early Earth’s crust and geological features.
