Detrital record of mountain building : Provenance of Jurassic foreland basin to the Dabie Mountains

open access: yes, 2010
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.

Assessment and Correction of Non‐Linearity Effects for In Situ Rb‐Sr Geochronology Applied to High 87Rb/86Sr Mica

open access: yesGeostandards and Geoanalytical Research, EarlyView.
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

open access: yes, 1974
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.

Metamorphic evolution of Archean hyaloclastites, Noranda area, Quebec, Canada. Part I: Comparison of Archean and Cenozoic sea-floor metamorphism

open access: yes, 1979
Detailed petrographic comparison of Archean and Cenozoic hyaloclastites and pillows permits us to outline an analogous history of sea-floor metamorphism.

Polymict melt‐bearing breccia dikes in the Morokweng impact structure formed by slip‐induced mechanical mixing of pseudotachylite and cataclasite along large‐displacement impact faults

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
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

open access: yes, 1979
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.

Impact‐diagnostic criteria for use in confirming a meteorite impact origin of terrestrial geological structures: Recommendations by the Impact Cratering Committee of the Meteoritical Society

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
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

open access: yes, 2021
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).

Multi‐Elemental Analysis for Geographical Tracing of Chickpeas Produced in Nearby Locations Around a Protected Geographical Indication

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 7, Page 4341-4351, July 2026.
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

Climate conditions on the South‐Iberian Palaeomargin during the latest Pliensbachian to early Toarcian: A mineralogical and geochemical study from hemipelagic deposits

open access: yesSedimentology, EarlyView.
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.
