Abstract

The Arabian-Nubian Shield (ANS) comprises Neoproterozoic juvenile crust formed
during the East Aftican Orogeny (EAO). Exposed ANS rocks are found in western
Arabia, the northeastem parts of Aftica, the Sinai Peninsula and in minor exposures in
southem Israel and Jordan. Per-A1kaline granites in the ANS are attributed to the last
tectono-magmatic phase affecting the shield between 600-530 Ma and are considered
A-type post-orogenic granites.
