Geology of the Variscan basement of the Laconi-Asuni area (central Sardinia, Italy): the core of a regional antiform refolding a tectonic nappe stack

open access: yes, 2015
The study area extends in central Sardinia between the coordinates 8°56′00″/39°55′00″ (NW corner) and 9°03′00″/39°50′00″ (SE corner). It forms part of the Sardinian Variscides that are characterized here by the western-most aspect of a regional structure

Eustatic and tectonic controls on mixed carbonate‐siliciclastic ramp deposits in the South Pyrenean foreland basin: The Eocene Alveolina Limestone

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, EarlyView.
The lower Eocene Alveolina Limestone records the global early Eocene transgression, but is equally affected by tectonic movements of the Montsec active thrust located in its hangingwall. Tectonic movements and the early Eocene transgression facilitated a detrital provenance shift in the southern Pyrenean foreland from a southern provenance in the ...

Early Cambrian U-Pb zircon age and Hf-isotope data from the Guasayán pluton, Sierras Pampeanas, Argentina: implications for the northwestern boundary of the Pampean arc [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
An Early Cambrian pluton, known as the Guasayán pluton, has been identified in the central area of Sierra de Guasayán, northwestern Argentina. A U?Pb zircon Concordia age of 533 ± 4 Ma was obtained by LA-MC-ICP-MS and represents the first report of ...

The Geology and Structural Evolution of the Aningeje Metasediment in the Lower Part of Oban Massif, South - Eastern Nigeria

open access: yes, 2016
The field mapping carried out in the study area was aimed at establishing the local geology of the area, which include the identification of rocks and minerals, and the reconstruction of the petrogenesis and structural evolution of the rocks in the area.

Diagenetic processes controlled by volcanic detritus of the Lower‐Middle Permian Shanxi and Shihezi sandstone formations, North Ordos Basin, China

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, EarlyView.
Comparisons of Lower‐Middle Permian Shanxi and Lower Shihezi formations from the North Ordos Basin reveal that different types and percentages of volcanic detritus induced by active magmatic cycles can significantly change diagenetic evolution and favourable reservoirs.

Detailed Analysis of Structures in the Foot Wall of the Champlain Thrust at Lone Rock Point, Burlington, Vermont [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The objective of this project was to identify a strain gradient and relative chronology within the foot wall of the Champlain Thrust Fault at Lone Rock Point, Burlington, Vermont in order to determine how the unique fault-bounded ellipsoidal lozenge ...

Mechanical properties of granulite from Horní Bory in Bohemian massif [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Granulite represents one of the favourite rock types for the construction of an underground nuclear waste repository in the Czech Republic. Granulite from the Bohemian Massif (locality Horní Bory) was investigated in this study, with a special focus ...

A continuous 500‐year sediment record of inundation by local and distant tsunamis in South‐Central Chile (40.1°S)

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, EarlyView.
Tsunami events over the past 500 years inundated Laguna Gemela West (Chile), leading to distinct sandy deposits in the lake record. This provides a complete perspective on tsunami inundation, including giant tsunamis, small local tsunamis and tsunamis that originated >100 km away from the site.

The Cenomanian–Turonian boundary interval in the Western Canada Foreland Basin: Stratigraphy, geochemistry, geochronology and sea‐level changes recorded in expanded and condensed clastic successions

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, EarlyView.
Shallow‐marine mudstone of the Cretaceous Kaskapau Formation in the British Columbia foredeep preserves a 185 m thick record of OAE2. The organic carbon‐isotope and osmium‐isotope excursions can be correlated in detail with other Cenomanian–Turonian boundary sections around the world.
