摘要：

A folded and lightly-metamorphosed allochthonous thrust slice, representing a complete ophiolite succession (Penrose definition), has been mapped in the late Proterozoic shield of Saudi Arabia. This occurrence supports the suggestion that plate-tectonic motions operated during the late Proterozoic. © 1979 Nature Publishing Group.
