Lithosphere thinning beneath west North China Craton: Evidence from geochemical and Sr-Nd-Hf isotope compositions of Jining basalts [PDF]
This study shows lithosphere evolution history in the west North China Craton (NCC) from the early Cretaceous to Quaternary by studying the major element, trace element and Sr-Nd-Hf isotope compositions in Jining basalts of 119.6-108.6. Ma, 23.5-21.9. Ma

Abstract Topographic highlands commonly develop along convergent plate boundaries through long‐term processes such as subduction and continental collision. However, the pre‐Cenozoic mountain‐building history of deep‐time orogenic systems in northeastern Pangaea remains poorly constrained due to later tectonic overprinting and denudation.

The proven gold deposits in the Jiaodong Peninsula, North China Craton, exceed 5,500 tons; these deposits are termed “Jiaodong type” or “Craton destruction type” owing to their unique geological features.

Abstract The late Eocene to early Oligocene is an intriguing Paleogene period in which the Earth climate state changed from Warmhouse to Coolhouse. Accurate age models are essential for investigating these climate transitions. The southwestern Pacific International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) Site U1553, with its almost complete succession of the ...

Abstract The Wyoming Craton is often cited as an example of decratonization, implying the removal of its lithospheric keel. However, numerous geophysical imaging studies indicate the presence of thick mantle lithosphere beneath much of the Wyoming Craton.

The making of pure quartzose sand in continental interiors: Paraná River (Brazil and Argentina)
ABSTRACT As part of a comprehensive project on sedimentary processes in South America, this study focuses on sediment generation in the intracratonic Paraná Basin and monitors the evolution of sand composition along the Paraná River from central Brazil to the Río de la Plata estuary in Argentina.

Abstract The southwestern United States hosts well‐documented and dramatic variations in topography, seismicity, heat flow, magmatism, and seismic velocity structure. This region offers opportunities to investigate how processes such as temperature and partial melt are related to the Lithosphere‐Asthenosphere Boundary (LAB), and how they ultimately ...

Sedimentation record in the Konkan-Kerala Basin: implications for the evolution of the Western Ghats and the Western Indian passive margin [PDF]
The Konkan and Kerala Basins constitute a major depocentre for sediment from the onshore hinterland of Western India and as such provide a valuable record of the timing and magnitude of Cenozoic denudation along the continental margin.

Schematic evolution model of the Onshore Potiguar Basin, illustrating the role of complex crustal and basinal structures in the onset of this intracratonic rift system in NE Brazilian Equatorial Margin. Red arrows indicate the extensional direction and coloured areas on the surface are the Self‐Organizing Maps populations related to crystalline ...
