Tectonics, Volume 44, Issue 8, August 2025.Abstract The Late Cretaceous Semail ophiolite, Oman was emplaced onto the previously passive continental margin of Arabia. Recent geochronology from the ophiolite, its metamorphic sole, and associated high‐pressure (HP) metamorphic rocks have resulted in a proliferation of new tectonic models explaining the sequence of events associated with ophiolite ...

Structure of late Variscan Millevaches leucogranite massif in the French Massif Central: AMS and gravity modelling results [PDF]
, 2006 In the Limousin area, Variscan leucogranitic plutons are spatially associated with normal faults and major strike-slip shear zones that are a continuation of the South Armorican shear zone. Our study focuses on the large N-S-trending Millevaches granitic

Significance of Leucogranitic Gneiss in the Archean Teton Range
The UW National Parks Service Research Station Annual Reports, 2008 In previous years of this project, we have developed the hypothesis that the high-pressure granulites exposed in the Moose Basin area of the Teton Range represent evidence of a 2.7 billion yearÂold continent-continent collision. We have described gneisses in the Teton Range that show two distinct metamorphic histories. In the northwest there are highÂ

Mineralization at Different Structural Levels in the Crust
Acta Geologica Sinica - English Edition, Volume 99, Issue 4, Page 1042-1058, August 2025.Abstract Metallogenic research on structural levels can reveal vertical patterns of mineralization and facilitate the deep exploration of economic minerals. However, research focusing on the correlation between structural levels and mineralization remains limited.

Some progress on understanding the Phanerozoic granitoids in China
China Geology, 2018 : There are large volumes of the Phanerozoic granitoid rocks in China and neighboring areas. In recent years, numerous new and precise U-Pb zircon ages have been published for these granitoids, and define many important magmatic events, such as ca.

Metamorphism and plutonism in the Quetico Belt, Superior Province, N.W. Ontario [PDF]
The Quetico Belt lies between the metavolcanic Wawa-Shebandowan and Wabigoon Belts. It consists of marginal metasedimentary rocks and central pelitic, gneissic and plutonic rocks.

, 2002 Magma viscosity is strongly temperature-dependent. When hot magma flows in a conduit, heat is lost through the walls and the temperature decreases along the flow causing a viscosity increase. For particular values of the controlling parameters the steady-

A multidisciplinary study of a syntectonic pluton close to a major lithospheric-scale fault: relationships between the Montmarault granitic massif and the Sillon Houiller Fault in the Variscan French Massif Central. Part I: Geochronology, mineral fabrics and tectonic implications [PDF]
, 2007 International audienceDue to its location along one of the major faults, the Sillon Houiller Fault (SHF) of the French Massif Central (FMC), the Montmarault granitic pluton is well-suited to better understand the place of the late-orogenic magmatism in ...
