Geochronology and Hf isotopic characteristics of detrital zircon from the miboshan formation in the eastern hexi corridor: implications for the relationship between the alxa block and the North China craton

Frontiers in Earth Science
This study presents U-Pb ages together with newly obtained systematic Hf isotopic data from detrital zircons of the Middle Ordovician Miboshan Formation in the eastern Hexi Corridor (northwestern China), aiming to constrain its provenance characteristics

Cadomian/Pan-African consolidation of the Iberian Massif assessed by its detrital and inherited zircon populations: is the ~610Ma age peak a persistent Cadomian magmatic inheritance or the key to unravel its Pan-African basement?

Geologica Acta, 2023
This work assessed the age distribution of Cadomian/Pan-African orogenic events (550-590 and 605-790Ma, respectively) in several zones of Iberian Massif by means of detrital and inherited zircon analysis compilation.

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

Age and provenance of the Chaung Magyi Group, Yeywa Dome, Myanmar, based on U-Pb dating of detrital zircons

, 2019
The unfossiliferous Chaung Magyi Group of the Northern Shan Plateau of Myanmar, comprises metasedimentary rocks, in particular greywacke, slates, phyllites and schists, of inferred Proterozoic age that unconformably underlie the late Cambrian Pangyun ...

Precambrian crustal evolution and Cretaceous–Palaeogene faulting in West Greenland: Zircon geochronology from the Kangaatsiaq–Qasigiannguit region, the northern part of the 1.9–1.8 Ga Nagssugtoqidian orogen, West Greenland [PDF]

Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland Bulletin, 2006
The Kangaatsiaq–Qasigiannguit region in the northern part of the Palaeoproterozoic Nagssugtoqidian orogen of West Greenland consists of poly-deformed orthogneisses and minor occurrences of interleaved, discontinuous supracrustal belts. Laser ablation ICP-

Emergence of Continents Stabilized the Bioavailability of Boron

Terra Nova, Volume 38, Issue 4, Page 278-284, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Boron is an essential element for the development of life on Earth; borates stabilize ribose in prebiotic reactions and facilitate metabolism in higher plants. There is, however, a relatively narrow surface boron concentration range over which borates stabilize and serve as a micronutrient rather than a toxin.

Synchronous Advance of the Alpine Glaciation Across the Northern and Southern Tibetan Plateau During the Mid‐Pleistocene Transition

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 14, 28 July 2026.
Abstract Chronological studies of glacial sediments from the Shishapangma and Yarlung Tsangpo River valley indicate that Quaternary glaciation on the southern Tibetan Plateau commenced at ∼0.75–0.83 Ma. However, the oldest glacial deposits in the northern plateau are dated to only ∼0.46 Ma, markedly later than the Middle Pleistocene glacial ...

Paleomagnetic Constraints on the Separation of the Olongbuluke Block From the North China Block During the Late Cambrian–Middle Ordovician and Its Tectonic Significance

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.
Abstract The collisional evolution of the micro‐blocks in the northeastern Tibetan Plateau is relatively well constrained. However, the reason why a fragment of the North China Block, the Olongbuluke Block, became separated from North China by the Central Qilian Block (a fragment of the South China Block) remains unclear.
