Whole-Rock Geochemical Dataset of Late Variscan Intrusive Rocks from the Serre Batholith (Calabria, Southern Italy)

Data
We present a whole-rock geochemical dataset of late Variscan intrusive rocks and residual anatectic melts from the mid- and lower continental crust exposed in the Serre Massif of Calabria (southern Italy).

Paleozoic tectonic setting and evolution of the Central Tianshan Block: Insights from Devonian arc-related granitoids

, 2022
The Central Tianshan Block of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB) contains Precambrian metamorphic basement and voluminous Paleozoic granitoids, but its Paleozoic tectonic setting remains debated.

An Ediacaran Metasedimentary Fragment With Northern Gondwana Affinity in the Southern East Kunlun Accretionary Belt, Northern Tibetan Plateau: Implications for the Dispersal of Peri‐Gondwanan Terranes

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Precambrian supercontinent reconstructions largely rely on robust geological constraints. Among these, the basin affinities recorded by Precambrian sedimentary fragments preserved in orogenic belts provide critical evidence for resolving the paleogeographic configurations of microcontinents and continental blocks.

The Unique Granite Gorge in Mountainous Adygeya, Russia: Evidence of Big and Complex Geosite Disproportions

Geosciences, 2019
Geological heritage sites (geosites) are subject to conservation and exploitation for science, education, and tourism. Some geosites are big and comprise diverse phenomena.

Natural radioactivity of granitoids and metagranitoids of the Brunovistulian terrane on the territory of the Czech Republic [PDF]

, 2016
Contents of potassium, uranium and thorium were measured, using a laboratory gamma-ray spectrometer, in 712 samples of granitoids and metagranitoids as well as accompanied dioritoids, aplites and pegmatites from the Czech part of the Brunovistulian ...

The Wilson Cycle of the North Altyn Ocean: A Record of Subduction Initiation, Slab Rollback, and Final Closure

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract The North Altyn ophiolitic belt was formed by the subduction–closure of the Altyn segment of the Proto–Tethys Ocean and recorded the accretion of Tarim to northern Gondwana, but the timing of initial subduction and detailed tectonic transition processes remain poorly constrained. This study reports the oldest Phanerozoic magmatic record of 537

Role of Post‐Collisional Magmatism in Continental Growth and Reworking Since the Late Archean

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract The mechanisms responsible for the formation and compositional evolution of continental crust remain central questions in Earth science. Post‐collisional magmatism is widely preserved in the continental record; however, its contribution to crustal growth may be underestimated because enriched isotopic signatures obscure juvenile mantle input ...

Cambrian Stage 3 Paleomagnetism of the South China Block: Implications for Early Paleozoic Gondwana Reconstructions

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract The paleogeographic position of the South China Block (SCB) during the early Paleozoic and its affiliation with Gondwana remain debated. We report new high‐quality paleomagnetic data from sandstone‐dominated Cambrian Stage 3 strata correlated with the Yu'anshan–Hongjingshao succession collected along the southwestern margin of the SCB ...

Looking Under the Orogenic Lid—Assessing the European Basement Beneath the Alpine Wedge by U‐Pb Zircon Geochronology

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Following continental collision, the distal European margin was overridden by the Alpine wedge and is now largely concealed beneath the mostly intact orogenic lid. Consequently, the geological evolution and nature of the hidden basement domains remain poorly constrained.

Episodic Arc Behavior in an Accretionary Orogen: Insights From the New England Orogen, Eastern Australia

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Detrital zircon U–Pb geochronology from Triassic–Jurassic basins in the New England Orogen (NEO) constrains sediment provenance and episodic continental arc evolution along the eastern Gondwanan margin. Dominant zircon clusters at 270–230 Ma and 340–300 Ma in these basins were likely sourced from contemporaneous magmatism in the NEO ...
