U-Pb SHRIMP zircon dating of Grenvillian metamorphism in Western Sierras Pampeanas (Argentina) : correlation with the Arequipa-Antofalla craton and constraints on the extent of the Precordillera Terrane [PDF]
The Sierras Pampeanas of Argentina, the largest outcrop of pre-Andean crystalline basement in southern South America, resulted from plate interactions along the proto-Andean margin of Gondwana, from as early as Mesoproterozoic to Late Paleozoic times (e ...

A revision of the Proterozoic-Archean boundary of the Northern Bothnian schist belt with a discussion of the geochemistry of related basic metavolcanics [PDF]
Geophysical analysis suggests the need for a revision of the eastern border of the early Proterozoic Northern Bothnian (or Kiiminki) schist belt. Recent geological field work has revealed places where the discordance and hiatus between Proterozoic and ...

EVIDENCES OF DEFORMATIONS OF MINERALS OF THE BERKUT QUARTZ VEIN (SOUTH URALS) AFFECTED BY DYNAMOMETAMORPHIC PROCESSES [PDF]
The article examines petrography and mineralogy of rocks of the Berkut quartz-feldspar vein in the South Urals, which is characterized by intense deformation in comparison with numerous quartz veins of the Kyshtym block.

Detrital zircon SHRIMP U-Pb age study of the Cordillera Darwin Metamorphic Complex of Tierra del Fuego : sedimentary sources and implications for the evolution of the Pacific margin of Gondwana [PDF]
The Cordillera Darwin Metamorphic Complex in the southernmost Andes includes a basement of probable Palaeozoic age, a mid-Jurassic and younger volcano-sedimentary cover, and a suite of Jurassic granites, all of which were jointly metamorphosed during the

Changing Sources of Magma Generation Beneath Intra-Oceanic Islands Arcs: An Insight From the Juvenile Kohistan Island Arc, Pakistan Himalaya [PDF]
The Kohistan arc, situated in the Pakistan Himalaya, is a Cretaceous intraoceanic island arc which was initiated during the northward movement of the Indian Plate. The arc was sutured to Asia at ca. 100 Ma.

Late Cenozoic metamorphic evolution and exhumation of Taiwan [PDF]
The Taiwan mountain belt is composed of a Cenozoic slate belt (Hsuehshan Range units, HR, and Backbone Slates, BS) and of accreted polymetamorphic basement rocks (Tananao Complex, TC).

The first data on paleomagnetism of Palaeoproterozoic rocks of the Serpovidny structure (the Kola region, northeastern Baltic Shield) [PDF]
The orientation of natural magnetization vector components in amphibolites and amphibole schists (magnetite up to 10 %) coincides with that of the modern magnetic field vector.

This review elucidates the velocity–dispersion–attenuation coupling mechanisms of wave propagation in rock masses, compares six representative models, and reveals how pressure, temperature, mineral composition, and anisotropy jointly control dynamic responses in complex geological media.
