Geochemical characteristics and petrogenetic process of late cretaceous granites in the southern Tibet Gangdese Tectonic Belt

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science
IntroductionThe Gangdese Tectonic Belt was formed through the prolonged subduction and collisional processes involving the Neo-Tethys Ocean and the Indian and Asian continental plates, preserving tectonic evolutionary imprints of both oceanic subduction ...

Near‐Synchronous Cambrian Evolution of the Transbrasiliano‐Kandi‐4°50′ Shear Zone in South America and Africa

open access: yesTerra Nova, Volume 38, Issue 2, Page 97-105, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The Transbrasiliano‐Kandi‐4°50′ (TK4) shear zone in western Gondwana crosscuts South America and NW Africa for at least 6000 km. Despite its impressive size, the timing of the main episode of dextral ductile shearing is uncertain. We present detailed in situ multi‐mineral geochronology of mylonites from both Brazil and Algeria supporting that ...

Geochemistry, Petrology and Zircon U-Pb Dating for Bibi Maryam Granitoid, NE of Nehbandan, East of Iran

open access: yesJournal of Economic Geology, 2011
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 ...

Subcritical Cracking Associated With Subgrain Rotation Recrystallisation in Quartz Inferred From Cathodoluminescence Study

open access: yesTerra Nova, Volume 38, Issue 2, Page 141-147, April 2026.
ABSTRACT We employed cathodoluminescence (CL) to study deformed quartz phenocrysts from the Cretaceous granite porphyry in SW Japan and observed fracture‐like planar structures appearing as CL‐dark bands. These CL‐dark bands were aligned with low‐angle grain boundaries formed by subgrain rotation recrystallisation.

Deconvolving the pre-Himalayan Indian margin – tales of crustal growth and destruction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The metamorphic core of the Himalaya is composed of Indian cratonic rocks with two distinct crustal affinities that are defined by radiogenic isotopic geochemistry and detrital zircon age spectra.

Size‐Dependent Melting Behavior of Ultrafine Fault Rocks

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 5, 16 March 2026.
Abstract Dynamic weakening during earthquake ruptures is essential for accommodating fault slip and controlling seismic energy release. This weakening is localized within narrow principal slip zones (PSZs) that commonly contain nanoparticles in both natural and experimental faults.

Neoarchean Arc Magmatism and Crust Recycling in the Northern Marginal Zone of the Limpopo Complex, Zimbabwe: New Insights From Zircon U‐Pb‐Hf Isotopes of a Charnockite Suite

open access: yesGeological Journal, Volume 61, Issue 3, Page 566-592, March 2026.
Charnockites with 2691–2607 Ma magmatic ages from the NMZ show arc‐magmatic geochemical signatures. They correspond to the lower‐crustal equivalent of the Chilimanzi Suite Granite in the Zimbabwe Craton. Lu‐Hf isotopic data of magmatic zircons show negative εHf(t) values (−11.18 to −2.20) with TDMC ages of 3699–3158 Ma, suggesting their protolith ...

The inclusion of grothite in the zircon from granitoids of the crystalline basement of the Southern Yamal Peninsula

open access: yesVestnik MGTU, 2019
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.

Sr-Nd isotope geochemistry of the early Precambrian sub-alkaline mafic igneous rocks from the southern Bastar craton, Central India [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Sr–Nd isotope data are reported for the early Precambrian sub-alkaline mafic igneous rocks of the southern Bastar craton, central India. These mafic rocks are mostly dykes but there are a few volcanic exposures.
