These findings confirm that the Campanian‐aged Bozbent Member turbiditic sequence in the Eastern Pontides was deposited in an extensional fore‐arc basin and therefore exhibits the petrographic and geochemical characteristics of passive margin sandstones.

Abstract The slab breakoff model is a preferred geodynamic interpretation for post‐collisional exhumation and associated magmatic flare‐ups. In this study, rutile U–Pb dating of retrograde eclogites revealed distinct stages of exhumation along the Paleo‐Tethyan sutures in southwest China. The studied samples yielded ages of 246.7 ± 8.5 and 239.7 ± 14.0

The Dazhuyuan Formation (northern Guizhou) is the host stratum for bauxite deposits and enriched with critical metals like Li. We investigated sedimentary processes of the formation using detrital zircon geochronology and whole-rock geochemistry.

Inception and Plate Evolution of the Lau Back‐Arc Basin From Plate Boundary Refinements
Abstract Back‐arc basins are important settings for crustal growth that form in response to both near and far‐field tectonic influences. To better understand the processes that control back‐arc basin initiation and evolution, we present a refined model of the kinematics of opening of the Lau Basin, embedded in a global plate model.

We present a revised Cenozoic geochronology based upon a best-fit to selected high-temperature radiometric dates on a number of identified magnetic polarity chrons (within the Late Cretaceous, Paleogene, and Neogene) which minimizes apparent ...

Brine Pool Microbes Enrich Metalliferous Sediments in Salt Giant Basins
Abstract We report the discovery of an extinct deep‐sea brine pool in the Red Sea's Hume Deep, providing evidence that rift‐shoulder pools are ephemeral on millennial timescales, and that the microbially‐enriched metalliferous deposits produced during the pool's active phase persist into the stratigraphic record.

Abstract Oceanic Core Complexes (OCCs) in back‐arc basins are not as thoroughly investigated, and their termination processes remain poorly understood. The Godzilla Megamullion is the largest known ceased OCC on Earth, yet magmatic and hydrothermal records from its termination are lacking.

Past the First Date: Ensemble Concordant–Discordant Comparison for Zircon Pb‐Loss Analysis
Abstract Zircon uranium–lead (U–Pb) geochronology is a cornerstone of Earth science for resolving the timing of deep‐time processes, yet the U–Pb system does not always behave as a closed chronometer. Selective loss of radiogenic Pb during fluid alteration or thermal disturbance can shift isotopic ages and generate discordant analyses. Some zircon data

Abstract Quantification of the timing and mechanisms of crustal thickening in Cordilleran orogenic hinterlands remains challenging. We address this in the Andes using whole‐rock geochemistry and zircon petrochronology from a >70 Myr volcanic record in the Tinguiririca valley of Chile (∼35° ${}^{\circ}$S), which captures a pivotal transition from ...
