Extreme extension across Seram and Ambon, eastern Indonesia: evidence for Banda slab rollback [PDF]

Solid Earth, 2013
The island of Seram, which lies in the northern part of the 180°-curved Banda Arc, has previously been interpreted as a fold-and-thrust belt formed during arc-continent collision, which incorporates ophiolites intruded by granites thought to have been ...

Neoproterozoic Anatexis of 2.9 Ga Old Granitoids in the Goiás-Crixás Archean Block, Central Brazil: Evidence From New SHRIMP U-Pb Data and Sm-Nd Isotopes [PDF]

Geologia USP. Série Científica, 2003
The first SHRIMP U-Pb ages for granitoid rocks from the southern part of the Goiás-Crixás Archean Block (Caiçara andUvá complexes) are presented and discussed in combination with Sm-Nd isotopic data in order to elucidate the main aspectsof the geological

Feldspar Albitization With Implications for Reservoir Quality Evolution of Eocene Turbidite Sandstones in Offshore Espírito Santo Basin, Eastern Brazil

Journal of Petroleum Geology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The diagenetic albitization of plagioclase and K‐feldspar grains is a transformative process that significantly alters sandstone's detrital composition and formation water chemistry, impacting reservoir quality. In this study, Eocene turbidite sandstones from the offshore Espírito Santo Basin, Brazil, were investigated to elucidate the role of

Crustal anatexis and ductile superimposition in the Culai Mountain region, western Shandong Province: Constraints on the Neoarchean tectonic framework of the eastern North China Craton

Dizhi lixue xuebao
Objective  Western Shandong is located in the core area of the eastern North China Craton and represents a typical Archean basement exposure. It extends as an overall NW–SE trending linear belt.

MELTING OF ACCRETIONARY WEDGE AND BUILDING MATURE CONTINENTAL CRUST: INSIGHTS FROM THE MAGMATIC EVOLUTION OF THE CHINESE ALTAI OROGEN, CENTRAL ASIA

Геодинамика и тектонофизика, 2017
Tectonic-magmatic reworking of accretionary wedges is a key process responsible for differentiation and stabilization of continental crustal in accretionary orogens. This generic problem can be exemplified by magmatic evolution of the Chinese Altai which

Ediacaran–Cambrian High‐Strain Melt‐Present Deformation of the Archean Charcot Province, East Antarctica

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The assembly of Gondwana involved several Pan‐African orogens, although their extension into ice‐covered Antarctica remains contentious. Particularly problematic is our understanding of the Kuunga orogenic system in East Antarctica, including its eroded architecture and temporal evolution. The remote Charcot Province, at the easternmost extent

Subduction Initiation and Early Subduction Zone Development: Insights From the P–T–t Path of the Bay of Islands Metamorphic Sole

Journal of Metamorphic Geology, Volume 44, Issue 7, Page 510-536, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The processes involved during subduction initiation (SI) remain poorly constrained, in part due to the rarity of geological archives. Ophiolites and their underlying metamorphic soles are thought to form during subduction zone infancy and may thus provide critical constraints. Metamorphic soles are derived from oceanic crust of the lower plate

U-Pb (LA-ICPMS) zircon ages and Nd isotopes for granitoids of the Tamboril-Santa Quitéria Complex, Ceará Central Domain: implication for neoproterozoic syncollisional magmatism in north Borborema Province [PDF]

Geologia USP. Série Científica, 2013
The Tamboril-Santa Quitéria Complex (TSQC) is one of the largest Neoproterozoic plutonic manifestations in the northBorborema Province (NE Brazil). It represents an anatectic/igneous association characterized by a number of magmaticpulses that occurred ...

Fertility of crustal rocks during anatexis [PDF]

Earth and Environmental Science Transactions of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, 1996
ABSTRACT:After many years of systematic experimental investigations, it is now possible to quantify the conditions for optimum fertility to melt production of most common crustal rock types as functions of temperature andto about 30 kbar pressure. Quartzo-feldspathic melting produces steady increases in melt proportion with increasing temperature.

Potassium isotopic compositions and exposure ages of evolved and silica‐rich achondrites

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 8, Page 2140-2162, August 2026.
Abstract Some of the oldest igneous rocks in the Solar System include evolved and silica‐rich achondrites that originate from parent bodies less than 1000 km in diameter, referred to as planetesimals. While Earth was initially in a molten state and required continental crust formation and plate tectonics to generate andesite bulk compositions, evolved ...
