Geology of the Mutis Complex, Miomaffo, West Timor
Mesozoic forearc assemblages are widespread across Indonesia, and these are also exposed in the overthrust terranes on Timor. The oldest rocks in the allochthonous Mutis Complex, West Timor are Mesozoic basaltic volcaniclastic rocks and melange ...

Evidence from Rb–Sr mineral ages for multiple orogenic events in the Caledonides of Shetland, Scotland [PDF]
Shetland occupies a unique central location within the North Atlantic Caledonides. Thirty-three new high-precision Rb–Sr mineral ages indicate a polyorogenic history.

A bigger splat: The catastrophic geology of a 1.2-b.y.-old terrestrial megaclast, northwest Scotland
Rockfalls are relatively little described from the ancient geological record, likely due to their poor preservation potential. At Clachtoll, northwest Scotland, a megaclast (100 m × 60 m × 15 m) of Neoarchean Lewisian gneiss with an estimated mass of ...

The Rwenzori Mountains, a Paleoproterzoic crustal shear belt crossing the Albertine rift system [PDF]
This contribution discusses the development of the Paleoproterozoic Buganda-Toro belt in the Rwenzori mountains and its influence on the western part of the East African Rift System in Uganda.

Quaternary rupture of a crustal fault beneath Victoria, British Columbia, Canada [PDF]
The seismic potential of crustal faults within the forearc of the northern Cascadia subduction zone in British Columbia has remained elusive, despite the recognition of recent seismic activity on nearby fault systems within the Juan de Fuca Strait.
