Laurasian Seaway History During the Early Jurassic From Quantitative Mineralogy and Detrital Zircon Dating

Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology, Volume 41, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The Laurasian Seaway comprises a N‐S oriented trans‐Pangaean corridor linking Tethys to the Boreal Sea during the Jurassic, and direction of water flow has been the subject of considerable debate. The Llanbedr (Mochras Farm) borehole, Cardigan Bay Basin, Wales, is a uniquely informative record that comprises an expanded deep‐marine silty ...

The Tectonic Map and Structural Provinces of the Late Neoproterozoic Egyptian Nubian Shield: Implications for Crustal Growth of the Arabian–Nubian Shield (East African Orogen)

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022
The Late Neoproterozoic Egyptian Nubian Shield (ENS) has attracted increasing attention since the establishment of the Egyptian Geological Survey and Mining Authority (EGSMA (1896)), which conducted the first mapping.

Tectonic exhumation of the Central Alps recorded by detrital zircon in the Molasse Basin, Switzerland [PDF]

Solid Earth, 2020
Eocene to Miocene sedimentary strata of the Northern Alpine Molasse Basin in Switzerland are well studied, yet they lack robust geochronologic and geochemical analysis of detrital zircon for provenance tracing purposes. Here, we present detrital zircon U–

Jadeite in Continental Subduction: Its Preservation, Breakdown and Pseudomorphic Replacement in Erzgebirge UHP Gneisses

Journal of Metamorphic Geology, Volume 44, Issue 5, Page 376-393, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The absence of jadeite in regions where subduction of continental crust has been documented by other high‐pressure (HP) or ultrahigh‐pressure (UHP) minerals is striking. This study presents only the second discovery of jadeite in the crystalline rocks of the Erzgebirge, a region known for its occurrences of microdiamond, coesite and omphacite ...

Near‐Synchronous Cambrian Evolution of the Transbrasiliano‐Kandi‐4°50′ Shear Zone in South America and Africa

Terra Nova, Volume 38, Issue 2, Page 97-105, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The Transbrasiliano‐Kandi‐4°50′ (TK4) shear zone in western Gondwana crosscuts South America and NW Africa for at least 6000 km. Despite its impressive size, the timing of the main episode of dextral ductile shearing is uncertain. We present detailed in situ multi‐mineral geochronology of mylonites from both Brazil and Algeria supporting that ...

Evolution and Provenance of the Polish Rotliegend in the Southern Permian Basin

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract The Southern Permian Basin (SPB) has been extensively explored for ore deposits. However, a comprehensive evaluation of the remaining copper potential, specifically for sediment‐hosted stratiform copper system, remains lacking. This study applies goSPL, an open‐source landscape and stratigraphic evolution model, to reconstruct the Permian rift‐

U-Pb Zircon Age Constraints on the Paleozoic Sedimentation, Magmatism and Metamorphism of the Sredogriv Metamorphics, Western Balkan Zone, NW Bulgaria

Geosciences
The Sredogriv greenschist facies rocks belong to the Western Balkan Zone in northwestern Bulgaria. The low-grade rocks consist of clastic-tuffaceous precursors and presumably olistostromic magmatic bodies. We present U-Pb LA-ICP-MS zircon age constraints

U-Pb ZIRCON DATING OF MIDDLE EOCENE CLASTIC ROCKS FROM THE GERCUS MOLASSE, NE IRAQ: NEW CONSTRAINTS ON THEIR PROVENANCE, AND TECTONIC EVOLUTION

Iraqi Geological Journal, 2021
The provenance of Middle Eocene clastic rock from the Gercus Molasse, NE Iraq was determined by detrital zircon (DZ) U-Pb geochronology. The Gercus Molasse in the Iraqi segment of the north-eastern Zagros Thrust Zone provides an ideal example of foreland

Upper Cretaceous Yüksekova Complex (Type Area), Easternmost Türkiye: Formation and Emplacement of a Proximal Back‐Arc Segment of a Tethyan Intra‐Oceanic Arc

Island Arc, Volume 35, Issue 1, January/December 2026.
ABSTRACT We provide the first comprehensive information and interpretation of the type area of the regionally important Upper Cretaceous oceanic arc, known as the Yüksekova Complex. Here, the arc's development is investigated using field observations, igneous and sedimentary petrography, micropaleontology of planktic foraminifera, x‐ray diffraction of ...
