Evolution of migmatitic granulite complexes: Implications from Lapland Granulite Belt, Part II: Isotopic dating [PDF]

open access: yesBulletin of the Geological Society of Finland, 2006
The migmatitic metapelites of the Lapland granulite belt (LGB) in the NE part of the Fennoscandian Shield represent an arc-related greywacke basin metamorphosed in the granulite facies. Detrital zircons from migmatitic metapelites are derived from 1.94 −

Metamorphic history and geodynamic significance of the Early Cretaceous Sabzevar granulites (Sabzevar structural zone, NE Iran) [PDF]

open access: yesSolid Earth, 2011
The Iranian ophiolites are part of the vast orogenic suture zones that mark the Alpine-Himalayan convergence zone. Few petrological and geochronological data are available from these ophiolitic domains, hampering a full assessment of the timing and ...

Assessing the Validity of Negative High Field Strength-Element Anomalies as a Proxy for Archaean Subduction: Evidence from the Ben Strome Complex, NW Scotland

open access: yesGeosciences, 2018
The relative depletion of high field strength elements (HFSE), such as Nb, Ta and Ti, on normalised trace-element plots is a geochemical proxy routinely used to fingerprint magmatic processes linked to Phanerozoic subduction.

Implication of Dynamic Recrystallization Mechanism for the Exhumation of Lower Crustal Rocks: A Case Study in the Shear Zones of the Ambaji Granulite, NW India

open access: yesLithosphere, 2022
Shear zones are important channels for the exhumation of lower crustal rocks. The Ambaji granulite of the Aravalli-Delhi mobile belt (ADMB) has been exhumed along several shear zones, and earlier studies have shown a two-stage exhumation process during a

Timing of retrograde metamorphism in medium-pressure pelitic granulites of the Qianlishan Complex: insights from monazite-zircon U-Pb geochronology and phase equilibria modelling

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science
Accurately determining the retrograde metamorphic ages of pelitic granulites is crucial for reconstructing their metamorphic evolution and understanding associated post-collisional extensional and subsequent exhumation processes in orogenic belts.

Inhomogeneities of the earth’s crust of the Aldan-Stanovoy shield along the 3-DV profile (Eastern Siberia, Russia

open access: yesГеофизический журнал, 2021
Profile 3-DV (Skovorodino-Tommot) crosses in the sublatitudinal direction the Stanovoy and Aldan megablocks of the Aldan-Stanovoy shield. As the basic elements of the Earth’s crust section along the profile 3-DV, a technique was adopted for identifying ...

Ion microprobe (SHRIMP) dates complex granulite from Santa Catarina, southern Brazil

open access: yesAnais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2000
Complex polymetamorphic granulites have been dated in the Santa Catarina granulite complex of southern Brazil through SHRIMP study of zircon. This complex is dominated by intermediate-acid plutonic rocks and contains small volumes of mafic and ultramafic

Geology and mineralogy of gemming terrains of Sri Lanka [PDF]

open access: yesBulletin of the Geological Society of Finland, 1985
Gemming in Sri Lanka is carried out in river valleys and on hill slopes underlain by high grade Precambrian metasedimentary rock suites. The principal gem mineral, corundum, is mined from assemblages rich in garnet, spinel, topaz, tourmaline and zircon ...

Evolution of metamorphic processes in the Neoarchean mafic granulites of the Qingyuan Terrane in northern Liaoning, North China Craton

open access: yesDizhi lixue xuebao, 2023
Multiple interpretations exist regarding the tectonic evolution model of the Neoarchean North China Craton, requiring a more in-depth study of metamorphic processes.

Precambrian intraplate magmatism: high temperature low pressure granulites.

open access: yes, 1999
Starting from the hypothesis that the lower continental crust is dominated by granulites, some essential features of granulites are recalled. Two general P-T-t paths are possible, clockwise and anticlockwise, of which the former is more common for high ...
