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

open access: yesFrontiers 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)

open access: yesGeochemistry, 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.

Metamorphic and metasomatic evolution of the Western Domain of the Karagwe-Ankole Belt (Central Africa) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
The tectonometamorphic evolution of the Western Domain of the Karagwe-Ankole Belt, containing widespread granite-related W-Nb-Ta-Sn mineralization in pegmatites and hydrothermal quartz veins of Early Neoproterozoic age, is largely unknown.

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

open access: yesپترولوژی, 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 ...
