Salt Range Formation of Pakistan Preserves Unique Record of Volcanic Fertilization During the Ediacaran Shuram Excursion

Terra Nova, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Thin, discontinuous, organic‐rich oil shale beds in the siliciclastic‐evaporitic Salt Range Formation (SRF) of Pakistan are of approximate Neoproterozoic to Cambrian age based on stratigraphic constraints. The beds are enriched (26–43 wt.% total organic carbon, TOC) in aliphatic organic matter (OM) of low thermal maturity despite their ...

High-alumina gneisses of the Chupa Formation in the Belomorian Mobile Belt: metamorphic conditions, partial melting, and the age of migmatites

Записки Горного института
Migmatized gneisses of the Chupa paragneiss Formation in the Belomorian Mobile Belt (BMB) of the Fennoscandian Shield have been studied, and the conditions of partial melting during high-grade metamorphism of the rocks were determined.

Geochemistry of Zircon from Pegmatite-bearing Leucogranites of the Laghman Complex, Nuristan Province, Afghanistan

Russian Journal of Earth Sciences
For the first time, a study was carried out on the geochemistry of zircon (SIMS method, 2 samples, 20 points) from leucogranites of the Laghman complex, located in the pegmatite-bearing (LCT-type) province of Nuristan (Afghanistan).

U–Pb Dating of Cambrian Magmatism in the Pinerolo‐Sanfront Unit, Dora‐Maira Massif (Western Alps)

Terra Nova, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Pinerolo‐Sanfront Unit (PSU), the structurally lowest tectonic unit of the Dora‐Maira Massif (Western Alps), has been regarded as a monocyclic unit composed of Permo‐Carboniferous sediments and Permian granitoids that were metamorphosed during the Alpine orogeny.

Multi‐Mineral Geochronology Across the Neoproterozoic Brasília Nappe Stack: Constraints on Thermal Resetting and Metamorphic Architecture

Terra Nova, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Southern Brasília Orogen formed during Western Gondwana's final assembly and comprises nappe systems piled against the São Francisco Craton. We present new rutile U–Pb ages from the lowermost Canastra Group (> 2.2 Ga) and the uppermost Carrancas Group (~560 Ma), integrated with published zircon, monazite, garnet, and mica ages from the ...

Uncertainty in helium diffusion in zircon limits thermochronologic resolution: application to the Great Unconformity [PDF]

Geochronology
Thermochronology provides a unique perspective on the timing and magnitude of erosion during the generation of unconformities. Recently, thermochronology has been used to reinvigorate a long-standing debate about the origin of the Great Unconformity, a ...
