Detrital record of mountain building : Provenance of Jurassic foreland basin to the Dabie Mountains
The Huangshi foreland basin developed on the southern margin of the Dabie Mountains as a result of tectonic loading during Triassic collisional suturing between the North China and South China cratons.

Key Points Measurement of 86Sr at count rates < 1500 cps can result in statistical bias. Non‐linear signals in analogue detection mode (e.g., Rb) present a challenge for accurately dating high 87Rb/86Sr mica (> 1000). Accounting for these considerations, high 87Rb/86Sr mica are dated here with accuracies of ∼ 1%.

Archean Quench-Texture Tholeiites
Tholeiitic metabasalts and metaandesites from sub-greenschist metavolcanics in the Abitibi volcanic belt northeast of Noranda–Rouyn display delicate and ornamental crystals indicative of rapid or supercooling.

Abstract A core drilled through shocked and faulted Archean granitoid gneisses and dolerites in the eroded peak ring of the 70–80 km diameter Morokweng impact structure intersects multiple centimeter‐ to meter‐wide clastic‐matrix breccias containing a polymict clast population of lithic and mineral clasts and altered, millimeter‐ to centimeter ‐size ...

Archean Photoautotrophy: Some Alternatives and Limits
From the Archean geological record, one can infer that photoautotrophy evolved early in earth history; however, the nature of this photosynthesis - whether it was predominantly bacterial or cyanobacterlal - is tess clearly understood.

Abstract The framework of the Impact Cratering Committee (ICC) of the Meteoritical Society was approved in 2020, with the first committee members appointed in 2023. The ICC has a mandate to (1) approve, maintain, and update a database of confirmed terrestrial meteorite impact structures, (2) define and regularly update the criteria used for ...

Mafic Archean continental crust prohibited exhumation of orogenic UHP eclogite
The absence of ultrahigh pressure (UHP) orogenic eclogite in the geological record older than c. 0.6 Ga is problematic for evidence of subduction having begun on Earth during the Archean (4.0–2.5 Ga).

ABSTRACT The multi‐elemental profile has repeatedly been proposed as a reliable indicator of the geographical origin of plant‐derived foods, as mineral composition accurately reflects the local soil geochemistry and environmental factors. However, this approach may fail in distinguishing specimens from nearby locations, which are expected to be exposed

ABSTRACT The integrated analysis of lithofacies, mineralogy and geochemistry of the hemipelagic marine succession exposed in La Cerradura section (South‐Iberian Palaeomargin) provides new information to characterise the palaeoenvironmental conditions during the latest Pliensbachian to early Toarcian, including the Jenkyns Event.
