Composition and Provenance of Victoria Group Sandstones in Southern North Victoria Land, Antarctica
Three distinct source areas contributed to sandstones of the Victoria Group within the Transantarctic Basin in southern North Victoria Land. During the Permian, quartzose sandstones were derived from erosion of the local Ross Orogen, likely from an uplifted swell in the area of today's Ross Sea, the Ross High.

Bibi Maryam granitoid body with about 5 Km2 has intruded into ophiolite mélange complex in sistan suture zone, in east of Iran. Thermal effects of this body on the host rocks show that this activity occurred after emplacement of ophiolite mélange ...

The structurally controlled Otūwhero estuary on the SE boundary of Abel Tasman National Park is a small partially filled incised valley. The small size, limited number of fluvial inputs, accessibility and surrounding land use made it an ideal candidate on which to investigate potential climate‐induced estuarine behaviour. Surficial sediment samples and

The role of crustal and mantle sources in the genesis of granitoids of the Antarctic Peninsula and adjacent crustal blocks [PDF]
Magmatic rocks from the Antarctic Peninsula show marked variations in isotope composition, which reflect changes in the geodynamic evolution of the peninsula through time. Most Antarctic Peninsula granitoids formed as a result of subduction: they fall on

On the basis of spatial relationships, petrological and structural studies, accessory-mineralogical, geochemical and paleogeophysical data, the following groups of plutons are distinguished in Pirin Mountain: Spančevo (of probable Late Proterozoic age), Bezbog (Southbulgarian type, Hercynian age) and young – Central Pirin (Central Pirin and Dautovo ...

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

Abstract Retreating accretionary systems are common features of convergent plate margins. They are characterized by upper plate extension and backarc basin formation, which often forms diachronously and asymmetrically along‐strike. This study tests the hypothesis that this along‐strike variability in backarc basin formation is reflected in detrital and

Grothite – rare F-Al-rich type of titanite – has been found in accessory zircon from the granitoids of the pre-Jurassic basement of the Verkhnerechensky oil-gas area (in the southern part of the Yamal Peninsula) as a result of the study.

Abstract The Gyeonggi Massif is one of the major Precambrian basements in the Korean Peninsula where Paleoproterozoic orthogneiss and paragneiss were widely exposed. In this study, newly identified Rhyacian to Orosirian meta‐igneous rocks from the northwestern Gyeonggi Massif (Soyeonpyeongdo and Ganghwado areas) were investigated to elucidate their ...
