The timing of the initial collision between the South and North China blocks constraining from the sediments in the eastern Sichuan Basin

Scientific Reports, 2023
In this study, detrital zircon U–Pb geochronology, trace element and Hf isotopic compositional data from the Early-Middle Triassic clastic rocks in the eastern Sichuan Basin were obtained to distinguish the sediment provenance and constrain the timing of

Composition and Provenance of Victoria Group Sandstones in Southern North Victoria Land, Antarctica

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 3, September 2026.
Three distinct source areas contributed to sandstones of the Victoria Group within the Transantarctic Basin in southern North Victoria Land. During the Permian, quartzose sandstones were derived from erosion of the local Ross Orogen, likely from an uplifted swell in the area of today's Ross Sea, the Ross High.

Integrated detrital rutile and detrital zircon ages perspective on the tectonic evolution of South China

, 2023
The mineral rutile geochronology is a new method to discriminate different sedimentary tectonic environments. The paleogeography of the South China during the Neoproterozoic to early Palaeozoic remains controversial. This paper presents a first attempt to integrate detrital rutile and detrital zircon U-Pb age data from sandstones of South China.

Beach Gold and Heavy Mineral Concentrates on Tiwai Spit Gravel Strand Plain, Southland, New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 3, September 2026.
The Holocene Tiwai Spit on Foveaux Strait is a 12 km by 2 km gravel‐dominated strand plain, ∼10 m above present sea level. Gravel clasts are dominated by well‐rounded quartz cobbles, pebbles and granules derived from Otago Schist 200 km to the north in evolving river drainage systems during late Cenozoic.

Cryptic Superfine Placer Gold Populations, Round Hill Mine, Southern New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 3, September 2026.
Superfine (50–<1 µm) detrital gold and platinum group mineral (PGM) particles at the Round Hill mine near Foveaux Strait were locally derived (<20 km) from as‐yet undefined basement sources. This superfine component contrasts with the dominant coarser (typically >100 µm) gold and PGM particles at the mine that have been transported for >100 km in ...

New craniodental materials of Falcarius utahensis (Theropoda: Therizinosauria) reveal patterns of intraspecific variation and cranial evolution in early coelurosaurians

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 8, Page 1995-2048, August 2026.
Abstract Despite documented ecomorphological shifts toward an herbivorous diet in several coelurosaurian lineages, the evolutionary tempo and mode of these changes remain poorly understood, hampered by sparse cranial materials for early representatives of major clades. This is particularly true for Therizinosauria, with representative crania best known

Mesozoic–Cenozoic Thermochronology of the Tarim–Southern Tianshan System, NW China

Geological Journal, Volume 61, Issue 8, Page 2258-2278, August 2026.
Tectonothermal history of the Tarim–Southern Tianshan system compared with the major tectonic events at far‐field plate margins. ABSTRACT The Tarim Basin, an oil‐bearing basin in northwest China, is tectonically and sedimentologically linked to the Southern Tianshan Orogenic Belt.

Dataset of detrital zircon U–Pb ages and Hf isotopic compositions for the late Paleozoic–Mesozoic strata in the North China block

Geoscience Data Journal
The construction of databases of detrital zircon is important for Earth science research. A total of 27,915 U–Pb ages and 4,968 Hf isotopic compositions of detrital zircons from the upper Paleozoic–Mesozoic strata of the North China Block were compiled ...

From Highlands to Henge: Refining the Provenance and Transport Pathways of Stonehenge's Altar Stone

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 41, Issue 6, Page 888-895, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The Altar Stone, the 6000 kg central sandstone megalith at Stonehenge in southern England, is suggested to have originated from the Orcadian Basin in northeast Scotland, some 700 km away. However, its source location within this large basin remains unresolved and its mode of transport uncertain.

Exhumed eo‐Alpine High‐Pressure Rocks Fed Campanian Turbidites in Eastern Sardinia

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract This study investigates the detrital record of the early orogenic evolution of the Sardinia‐Calabria system, preserved in Upper Cretaceous arenites exposed in eastern Sardinia. Sardinia and Corsica form a continental block that includes a segment of the Alpine orogen and of its former foreland basin.
