Spatial and temporal evolution of a coastal erg margin: the Middle Jurassic Page Sandstone, southern Utah, USA

open access: yesSedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aeolian deflationary events are erosive to static stages where sediment supply is insufficient to support bedform migration and preservation in the rock record. In the vicinity of shallow‐marine environments, inland rises of relative water table and associated generation of deflationary super surfaces may be driven by the onset of ...

Using Zircon Morphology to Understand Metasomatic Fluid Alteration During the Big Sky Orogeny

open access: yes, 2017
Metasomatism is a metamorphic process that changes the bulk composition and morphology of a lithology. By understanding the differences between the protolith and altered rock, specifics about the composition of the fluid and its effects on the host rock ...

U-Pb zircon and titanite age of the Christiansø granite, Ertholmene, Denmark, and correlation with other Bornholm granitoids

open access: yes, 2022
A granitic sample from the Danish island of Christiansø in the Ertholmene island group north of Bornholm is described petrographically and geochemically, and dated using U-Pb in zircon and titanite.

Ductile Extrusion Triggered by Continental Collision in NE Brazil

open access: yesTerra Nova, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Borborema Province in northeastern Brazil hosts one of the world's largest strike‐slip shear zone networks, active during the late Neoproterozoic assembly of West Gondwana. Whether these shear zones initiated during active continental collision or as a post‐orogenic response to far‐field stresses remains debated.

Crust‐Mantle Interaction During Continental Deep Subduction: Evidence From Light Mo Isotopes in Post‐Collisional Mafic Igneous Rocks From the East Kunlun Orogen

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems
It is intriguing whether and how crust‐mantle interaction would proceed in continental subduction zones. Here, we report zircon U‐Pb ages and Hf isotopes, major and trace elements, and Sr‐Nd‐Mo isotopes for Late Paleozoic mafic igneous rocks from the ...

Ti in zircon from the Boggy Plain zoned pluton: Implications for zircon petrology and Hadean tectonics

open access: yes, 2016
The understanding of zircon crystallization, and of the Ti-in-zircon thermometer, has been enhanced by Ti concentration measurements of zircon from a small, concentrically zoned pluton in south-eastern Australia, the Boggy Plain zoned pluton (BPZP ...

Neoproterozoic Anatexis of 2.9 Ga Old Granitoids in the Goiás-Crixás Archean Block, Central Brazil: Evidence From New SHRIMP U-Pb Data and Sm-Nd Isotopes [PDF]

open access: yesGeologia USP. Série Científica, 2003
The first SHRIMP U-Pb ages for granitoid rocks from the southern part of the Goiás-Crixás Archean Block (Caiçara andUvá complexes) are presented and discussed in combination with Sm-Nd isotopic data in order to elucidate the main aspectsof the geological

Geothermobarometry, structure, and geochronology of low-grade rocks in the southern Acatlán Complex, San Martín Zacatepec, Oaxaca

open access: yesRevista Mexicana de Ciencias Geológicas
The Acatlán Complex (AC) in southern Mexico is a critical lithodemic province for Paleozoic paleoreconstructions. It is mainly composed of low-grade volcano-sedimentary sequences, yet quantitative geothermobarometric data are scarce in the literature ...

Cadomian metabasites of the Eastern Pyrenees revisited

open access: yesGeologica Acta, 2023
This study presents a new geochemical, petrological, and geochronological U-Pb dataset from Ediacaran metabasites and associated rocks of the Canigó and Cap de Creus massifs, Eastern Pyrenees. Metabasites are composed of calcic amphibole + plagioclase +

Paragneiss Zircon Geochronology and Trace Element Geochemistry, North Qaidam HP/UHP Terrane, Western China

open access: yes, 2009
In the southeastern part of the North Qaidam terrane, near Dulan, paragneiss hosts minor peridotite and UHP eclogite. Zircon geochronology and trace element geochemistry of three paragneiss samples (located within a ∼3 km transect) indicates that ...
