METAMORPHIC CONSEQUENCES OF CRUSTAL ECLOGITE PRODUCTION IN OVERTHRUST OROGENIC ZONES
Continental collision can produce crust of much greater than normal thickness in whose lower part eclogite facies conditions may pertain. The resulting density increase of ca.

Tectonics on Early Earth Driven by Earth's Changing Shape During Tidal Recession of the Moon
Abstract Few fragments of Earth's earliest crust have survived, and so this formative period of our planet's history is shrouded in mystery. To leverage the limited data available, it is important to understand all the processes that could have shaped our young planet.

Mafic eclogites of the Tauern Window in the Eastern Alps preserve vein networks associated with eclogite‐facies mineral assemblages. The structural and mineralogical diversity of these veins is encapsulated by Type I veins, which resemble deformed ...

Geochemistry of eclogite- and blueschist-facies rocks from the Bantimala Complex, South Sulawesi, Indonesia: Protolith origin and tectonic setting [PDF]
We present the first data on bulk-rock major and trace element compositions for\ud a suite of eclogite- and blueschist-facies rocks from the Bantimala Complex, Indonesia,\ud with the aim of better constraining the protolith origins and nature of the ...

Melt Production and Volatile Release From Thermochemical Mantle Plumes
Abstract Mantle plumes are thought to generate Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs), the largest outpourings of lava in the geologic record, which are associated with long‐lasting climatic warming events and mass extinctions. However, the controls on mantle degassing by plumes remain poorly constrained.

Abstract Integrating multiple detrital mineral systems provides a powerful framework for reconstructing source‐region tectonothermal evolution because different minerals record complementary aspects of magmatic and metamorphic processes. Glacial diamictites are particularly valuable for this approach because extensive glacial erosion can sample broad ...

Mantle plumes and flood basalts: Enhanced melting from plume ascent and an eclogite component [PDF]
New numerical models of starting plumes reproduce the observed volumes and rates of flood basalt eruptions, even for a plume of moderate temperature arriving under thick lithosphere.

Geology of the southern Monviso metaophiolite complex (W-Alps, Italy)
The Monviso metaophiolite complex (W. Alps) is an almost intact fragment of Tethyan oceanic lithosphere metamorphosed to eclogite-facies peak metamorphic conditions during Alpine subduction.
