Geochemistry and U–Pb Zircon Geochronology of Granite at the Pilok Sn–W Deposit, Thailand: Implications for Late Triassic Tin Metallogenesis

open access: yesResource Geology, Volume 76, Issue 1, January/December 2026.
Zircon U–Pb dating constrains the Pilok Sn–W granite emplacement at 212–208 Ma, during the Late Triassic post‐collisional extension after the Sibumasu‐Indochina collision. This timing coincides with widespread tin‐bearing granite magmatism throughout Southeast Asia, marking a major regional metallogenic event. ABSTRACT The Pilok Sn–W deposit in western

Fluorite stability in silicic magmas. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Recent experimental evidence is used to assess the conditions under which fluorite forms an early crystallising phase in silicic magmas. Fluorite solubility primarily depends on the (Na + K)/Al balance in the coexisting silicic melt, reaching a minimum ...

Two Cycles of Devonian–Triassic Extension and Compression in the Altai Accretionary Wedge: Insights From Tsogt Core Complex

open access: yesTectonics, Volume 44, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract The Altai Accretionary Wedge in the Mongolian Altai records a polyphase geodynamic evolution involving two extensional–compressional tectonic cycles, constrained by petrostructural analysis and zircon, monazite U–Pb, and Ar–Ar geochronology. The studied section includes a southwestern high‐grade and a northeastern low‐grade domain, previously ...

Confronting Episodic vs. Continuous Heat Sources in Long‐Lived Hot Orogens: Insights From Petrochronological Studies in the Nova Venecia Complex, Araçuaí Orogen (SE Brazil)

open access: yesJournal of Metamorphic Geology, Volume 43, Issue 9, Page 863-890, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Orogenic belts that sustain elevated temperatures at intermediate crustal depths for tens of millions of years are known as hot orogens. The evolution of these hot orogens is largely influenced by thermal maturation, primarily driven by the distribution of heat‐producing elements (HPEs), such as K, Th and U in the overthickened crust.

Tectonic overview of the West Gondwana margin [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The oceanic southern margin of Gondwana, from southern South America through South Africa, West Antarctica, New Zealand (in its pre break-up position), and Victoria Land to Eastern Australia is one of the longest and longest-lived active continental ...

Tracing the Syn‐Convergence Extrusion Tectonics of the Sulu Orogenic Belt and Its Implication for North China–South China Collision

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 26, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract Understanding the transition from oceanic to continental subduction is critical for reconstructing the geodynamic evolution of orogens and constraining ancient plate boundaries. The Sulu orogenic belt in eastern China was formed by Triassic deep subduction of the South China Block (SCB) beneath the North China Block (NCB). Its architecture was

Radiogenic Heating as the Thermal Driver of Himalayan Crustal Heating During Prolonged Thickening

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 26, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract The thermal evolution of the crust during continental collision evolves from cold to hot with time, which impacts crustal reworking and differentiation. However, it remains elusive as to the mechanism driving the crust to be hot during the protracted collision.

Tourmaline 40Ar/39Ar chronology of tourmaline-rich rocks from Central Iberia dates the main Variscan deformation phases [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
During crustal thickening, metapelites taken to depth release boron-bearing hydrothermal fluids because of progressive heating and dehydration. These fluids swiftly percolate upwards, especially if the crust is being actively deformed, to form tourmaline

Felsic Magmatism on Venus Generated by Crustal Recycling and Melting

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 130, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract The observation of low viscosity lava flows and shield volcanoes on radar images, combined with X‐ray fluorescence analyses performed by Soviet landers, strongly suggests that Venus's crust is primarily basaltic. However, near‐infrared emissivity data from the Galileo and Venus Express missions indicate that crustal plateaus may be ...

New geochemical and isotopic constraints on the genesis of the Oliveira Azeméis granitoid melts (Porto-Tomar Shear Zone, Iberian Variscan Chain, Central-Western Portugal). [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The Porto-Tomar Shear Zone (PTSZ) is a very important tectonic structure that separates, in central-western Portugal, two of the major tectonic units of the Iberian Variscan Chain: the Ossa-Morena Zone, to the west, and the Central Iberian Zone, to the ...
