The TTG-Amphibolite Terrains of Arctic Fennoscandia: Infinite Networks of Amphibolite Metatexite-Diatexite Transitions [PDF]

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2020
The Earth’s early basaltic crust converted episodically into felsic TTG (tonalite-trondhjemite-granodiorite) crust by unknown tectonic processes. To contribute to the debate on the possible tectonic settings of TTGs, this article illustrates and explains

A Mélange of Subduction Ages: Constraints on the Timescale of Shear Zone Development and Underplating at the Subduction Interface, Catalina Schist (CA, USA)

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2021
The presence of mélange at the subduction interface influences numerous geochemical and geophysical processes. However, the relationship between the timescales of mélange development, deformation, and resultant mass transport is poorly understood.

Mineralogy and thermobarometry of metamorphic basement from the Kabul Block (Eastern Afghanistan) [PDF]

پترولوژی, 2019
The cratonic basement in the Kabul district is dominated by gneiss, migmatite, schist, and amphibolite and is characterized by extensive outcrops.  Orthopyroxene and garnet are the index minerals of some of the gneisse, hence, they are considered as ...

TWO EPISODES OF METAMORPHISM IN THE ROCKS OF THE EASTERN KITOI BLOCK (SHARYZHALGAI UPLIFT OF THE SIBERIAN PLATFORM) ACCORDING TO THE GARNET AMPHIBOLITE DATA

Геодинамика и тектонофизика, 2020
The Archean metamorphism in the southwestern Siberian craton was confirmed by the studies of the Kitoy and Irkutsk blocks. However, the parameters of the metamorphism process are still poorly investigated.
