Confronting Episodic vs. Continuous Heat Sources in Long‐Lived Hot Orogens: Insights From Petrochronological Studies in the Nova Venecia Complex, Araçuaí Orogen (SE Brazil)

open access: yesJournal of Metamorphic Geology, Volume 43, Issue 9, Page 863-890, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Orogenic belts that sustain elevated temperatures at intermediate crustal depths for tens of millions of years are known as hot orogens. The evolution of these hot orogens is largely influenced by thermal maturation, primarily driven by the distribution of heat‐producing elements (HPEs), such as K, Th and U in the overthickened crust.

Evolution of a Paleoproterozoic “weak type” orogeny in the West African Craton (Ivory Coast). [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
International audienceThe Paleoproterozoic domain of Ivory Coast lies in the central part of the West African Craton (WAC) and is mainly constituted by TTG, greenstones, supracrustal rocks and leucogranites.

Radiogenic Heating as the Thermal Driver of Himalayan Crustal Heating During Prolonged Thickening

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 26, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract The thermal evolution of the crust during continental collision evolves from cold to hot with time, which impacts crustal reworking and differentiation. However, it remains elusive as to the mechanism driving the crust to be hot during the protracted collision.

SHRIMP U-Pb zircon dating of Neoproterozoic granites from the easternmost São Roque Domain, Ribeira Belt

open access: yesGeologia USP. Série Científica, 2019
Four granitic plutons from the easternmost portion of the São Roque Domain (SRD) were dated by U-Pb zircon SHRIMP; the results indicate that the peak of granitic magmatism was concentrated in a short interval (606–589 Ma), the same as in the central ...

First discovery of highly fractionated tourmaline-bearing leucogranite-pegmatite in Duxiushan, Anqing ore-cluster region, middle and lower Yangtze metallogenic belt: A clue to strategic metal exploration

open access: yesSolid Earth Sciences, 2022
A suite of highly fractionated granites and associated pegmatite, were revealed through drill hole in the Anqing ore-cluster region in the Lower Yangtze River Belt (MLRB), Eastern China, for the first time. The pegmatite has abundant tourmaline.

Himalayan Leucogranites: An Experimental Petrology Perspective

open access: yesElements
The High Himalayan leucogranites (HHL) are produced by muscovite breakdown of a metapelitic source, at temperatures below 800 °C, with initial melt water contents of ~5–7 wt.%. The tourmaline-rich HHL variety is colder, possibly a fractionation product of the hotter two-mica HHL.

Electron Microprobe Chemical Dating of Uraninite as a Reconnaissance Tool for Leucogranite Geochronology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
We suggest that electron microprobe techniques may be employed to date Tertiary samples of uraninite (UO~2~), which can contain very high concentrations of radiogenic Pb after only a few million of years of U and Th decay. Although uraninite is regarded

Long‐Lasting Plutonism During Orogenic Cycles: Incremental Emplacement of the Variscan Bassiès Pluton (Central Pyrenees, France)

open access: yesTerra Nova, Volume 37, Issue 5, Page 316-323, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Laser ablation U–Pb single zircon geochronology was applied to four peraluminous granite and granodiorite samples from the Bassiès pluton in the Central Pyrenees (France) yielding a wide range of concordant ages from early Carboniferous (Tournaisian, 351 Ma) to early Permian (Artinskian, 285 Ma).

Petrography and Geochemistry of tourmaline nodules from Aderba leucogranite (northeast of Golpaygan) [PDF]

open access: yesپترولوژی, 2016
The Aderba leucogranite in the Golpayegan metamorphic core complex (GMC), a part of Sanandaj-Sirjan zone, host lentiform small (2*4 cm)(Type 1) and large (7*14 cm)(Type 2)tourmaline nodules. In terms of mineralogical features, the core of these two types
