Tectonic and metamorphic evolution of the Tokar-Barka Terrain (East-African Orogeny)
Hořenínová, Marie ; Verner, Kryštof (advisor) ; Peřestý, Vít (referee)
in English This bachelor's thesis summarizes the tectonic and metamorphic evolution of the Tokar-Barka Unit in the southern part of the Arabian-Nubian Shield. The compilation includes an information of regional division, lithological pattern, age, deformation structures and record of metamorphic evolution, mainly in the context of East African orogenic processes. The main episodes of geodynamic evolution are briefly discussed in a regional context. Key words: East-African Orogeny, Arabian-Nubian Shield, Tokar-Barka Unit, Deformation, Tectonics, Metamorphic evolution
Geodynamic evolution and post-collisional magmatic activity in the Arabian-Nubian Shield (East African Orogeny) and southwestern Moldanubian Zone (Central European Variscides)

The Variscan orogenic belt along the exhumed root domain, known as the Moldanubian Zone as well as the Arabian-Nubian Shield (ANS) in the East African Orogeny (EAO) of Ethiopia, are considered as typical areas for studying late-orogenic (post-collisional) processes and magmatism. Based on a wider range of field and analytical methods: field structural mapping, anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS) analysis, thermobarometric calculation and P-T evolution, conventional U/Pb dating, a reconstruction of geodynamic evolution and magmatism in the southwestern part of Moldanubian Zone (Bohemian Massif) and Tokar-Barka Terrain (southern part of Arabian-Nubian Shield is undertaken. The Variscan case portrays the peculiar overprint by the Late Orogenic tectonothermal event which is absent in the case of the Arabian-Nubian Shield (ANS) hence offering a compelling contrast to investigate the possible underlying mechanism involved for the different processes in the post-orogenic phase. In the southern ANS a post-collisional intrusive Chewo pluton composed of monzodiorite and quartz monzonite marks the late tectonic overprint which intruded into a low-grade Neoproterozoic juvenile crustal Tokar-Barka terrane. Thermobarometric estimations indicate its emplacement to be c. 10-13 Km depth, idealized from AMS...
