ABSTRACT Orogenic wedges juxtapose tectonic units that originated far from each other, and tracing these back to their origin is often difficult. We have studied two contrasting serpentinite–sediment associations of the Alpine‐Apennine orogenic wedge of eastern Elba Island with the help of a detrital zircon study of the sediments and a geochemical ...

Gravity field and geothermal structure of the Corsica‐Sardinia Block
Abstract This paper presents a finite‐differences 3D numerical model that simulates the gravity and thermal structure of the Corsica‐Sardinia Block (CSB), an apparently stable lithospheric domain characterized by cryptic tectonic activity. In the experiments, we change the density and heat production rate of the model crust within a range of ...

Tin isotope analysis of tin ore deposits in Europe and Central Asia in view of the tin provenance in archaeological metal objects [PDF]
The aim of this work is to establish an overview of the tin isotope ratios of cassiterite and stannite from various mineralized regions in Europe, the Mediterranean and Central Asia in order to assess the possibility to geochemically discriminate tin ore

Abstract Calabria and the Peloritan Mts. of NE Sicily are exotic terranes predominantly formed by Hercynian rocks interrupting the Meso‐Cenozoic sediments exposed along Apennine‐Maghrebide chains. Dual‐polarity pre‐tilting magnetization direction retrieved from 5 Jurassic, 5 upper Cretaceous‐Eocene, and 4 upper Oligocene sedimentary sites from external‐

The architecture of the European-Mediterranean lithosphere: A synthesis of the Re-Os evidence [PDF]
Rhenium-depletion model ages (TRD) of sulfi des in peridotite xenoliths from the subcontinental mantle beneath central Spain (the Calatrava volcanic fi eld) reveal that episodes of mantle magmatism and/or metasomatism in the Iberia microplate were ...

Assessing the Helium Potential of Variscan Batholiths: Insight From Corsica Island
Abstract Most of the current helium (He) reserves originate from fortuitous discoveries, mainly made during oil and gas exploration in sedimentary basins. As helium generation depends on U and Th α‐decay, old geological provinces gather key ingredients for high He accumulation. However, numerous He‐rich springs have also been documented in much younger

Post-Collisional Tectonomagmatic Evolution, Crustal Reworking and Ore Genesis along a Section of the Southern Variscan Belt: The Variscan Mineral System of Sardinia (Italy) [PDF]
Since the early Paleozoic, numerous metallogenic events produced in the Sardinian massif a singular concentration of mineral deposits of various kinds. Among them, the Variscan metallogenic peak represents a late Paleozoic phase of diffuse ore formation ...

Kinematics and Timing Constraints in a TranspressiveTectonic Regime: The Example of the Posada-AsinaraShear Zone (NE Sardinia, Italy) [PDF]
Detailed geological field mapping, integrated with meso- and microstructural investigations, kinematic of the flow and finite strain analyses, combined with geochronology, are fundamental tools to obtain information on the temperature–deformation ...

Microstructural Investigation of Variscan Late-Collisional Granitoids (Asinara Island, NW Sardinia, Italy): New Insights on the Relationship Between Regional Deformation and Magma Emplacement [PDF]
In the framework of the geological mapping of sheet “n. 425—Asinara Island” (NW Sardinia, Italy) of the Italian National Geological Mapping Project (CARG Project), three late- to post-collisional Variscan intrusive units are recognized:
