Neoproterozoic ultramafic and mafic magmatism in the Eastern Cordillera of the central peruvian Andes: the Tapo Massif [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
A highly dismembered assemblage of ultramafic and mafic rocks is exposed in the Eastern Cordillera of the Central Peruvian Andes, extending along a discontinuous NW-SE belt over some 250 km between 12° and 9° S of latitude.

Indosinian high-strain deformation for the Yunkaidashan tectonic belt, south China : Kinematics and 40Ar/39Ar geochronological constraints [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Structural and 40Ar/39Ar data from the Yunkaidashan Belt document kinematic and tectonothermal characteristics of early Mesozoic Indosinian orogenesis in the southern part of the South China Block.

Middle to Late Pleistocene landscape evolution and glacial dynamics in the Eastern Alps: the Gröbminger Mitterberg record, Austria

open access: yesBoreas, EarlyView.
Glacial erosion during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) has removed much evidence of earlier glaciations and interglacials in the European Alps. At Gröbminger Mitterberg (GM), beneath a blanket of LGM till, a distinctive sediment archive preserves deposits predating the LGM.

RioM‐1: A New Calcite Reference Material for U‐Pb LA‐ICP‐MS Geochronology

open access: yesGeostandards and Geoanalytical Research, EarlyView.
Key Points RioM‐1 calcite was characterised for trace elements, U‐Pb geochronology, Sr and O isotopes using ID‐TIMS, LA‐ICP‐MS and SIMS. U‐Pb dates from ID‐TIMS and LA‐ICP‐MS across several independent laboratories returned identical results within uncertainty.

Cenozoic geochronology

open access: yesGeological Society of America Bulletin, 1985
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 accelerations in sea-floor spreading.

Late Precambrian U-Pb titanite age for peak regional metamorphism and deformation (Knoydartian orogeny) in the western Moine, Scotland [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
There has been controversy over the number and timing of orogenies in the Precambrian Moine block in the Scottish Caledonides since the earliest radiometric dating in the 1960s. This work challenges a recent hypothesis, that this sector of the Laurentian

Chemical Discrimination of Rutile From Different Metamorphic Source Rocks: Dealing With Hierarchical Data Structures in Random Forest Classification

open access: yesJournal of Metamorphic Geology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rutile provides a wealth of petrochronological information in metamorphic geology and due to its high stability during processes of the sedimentary cycle, rutile takes a special position in sedimentary provenance analysis. Besides being one of the classical minerals datable using the U–Pb system, rutile incorporates a broad range of trace ...

Chemical composition of sandstones and paleogeodynamic reconstructions

open access: yesЛитосфера, 2016
The article analyzes the adequacy of compliance on paleogeodynamic nature of Upper Precambrian sedimentary associations - Bashkir meganticlinorium, Kama-Belaya aulacogene and Uchur-Maya region, received by geological methods and by using discriminant ...

Coesite Discovery in Eclogites Confirms UHP Metamorphism in the Orlica‐Śnieżnik Dome (SW Poland)

open access: yesJournal of Metamorphic Geology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Eclogite lenses are exposed within the orthogneiss‐dominated core of the Orlica‐Śnieżnik Dome in the Sudetes, which forms the northeastern margin of the Bohemian Massif (Variscan Belt of Central Europe). The presence of coesite inclusions in garnet and omphacite confirms that these eclogites underwent ultrahigh‐pressure metamorphism.

Location, Location, Location: Monazite Behaviour During UHT Metamorphism and Melt Crystallization

open access: yesJournal of Metamorphic Geology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Monazite is a robust mineral for recording the suprasolidus evolution of migmatites and granulites. However, monazite commonly has diverse compositions and yields variable dates in a single sample; understanding the controls on monazite behaviour and composition during partial melting and melt crystallization are not always straightforward ...
