Petrochemical Characteristics of Cenozoic Basalts in Datong, Shanxi
Basalt in the Cenozoic period in Datong, Shanxi can be divided into two types: alkaline basalt in the northwest and tholeiite basalt in the southeast. Petrological and geochemical analyses were carried out on the basalts in Datong area. As known from the

History of oceanic front development in the New Zealand sector of the Southern Ocean during the Cenozoic--a synthesis [PDF]
The New Zealand sector of the Southern Ocean (NZSSO) has opened about the Indian-Pacific spreading ridge throughout the Cenozoic. Today the NZSSO is characterised by broad zonal belts of antarctic (cold), subantarctic (cool), and subtropical (warm ...

Patterns of Late Cenozoic exhumation deduced from apatite and zircon U-He ages from Fiordland, New Zealand [PDF]
New apatite and zircon (U-Th)/He ages from the Fiordland region of New Zealand's South Island expand on earlier results and provide new constraints on patterns of Late Cenozoic exhumation and cooling across this region.
