Evidence for Nb-Ta Occurrences in the Syn-Tectonic Pan-African Mayo Salah Leucogranite (Northern Cameroon): Constraints from Nb-Ta Oxide Mineralogy, Geochemistry and U-Pb LA-ICP-MS Geochronology on Columbite and Monazite

open access: yes, 2018
The Mayo Salah pluton, which is located in the North-Cameroon domain of Central African Bold Belt (CAFB), is emplaced as a laccolith in volcano-sedimentary schists of Poli series, and displays features of Rare-metal Granite (RMG).

Two Cycles of Devonian–Triassic Extension and Compression in the Altai Accretionary Wedge: Insights From Tsogt Core Complex

open access: yesTectonics, Volume 44, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract The Altai Accretionary Wedge in the Mongolian Altai records a polyphase geodynamic evolution involving two extensional–compressional tectonic cycles, constrained by petrostructural analysis and zircon, monazite U–Pb, and Ar–Ar geochronology. The studied section includes a southwestern high‐grade and a northeastern low‐grade domain, previously ...

Chemistry of Hydrothermally Destabilized Rare-Metal and Radioactive Minerals in Deformed A-Type Granite in the Vicinity of Nugrus Shear Zone, South Eastern Desert, Egypt

open access: yesResources
In the Wadi Nugrus area, south Eastern Desert of Egypt, A-type granite is highly deformed in a prominent NW-SE trending shear zone, likely related to the Najd shear system.

Petrogenetic and mineralogical constraints in metamorphic-plutonic complex of N-Bijar, Kordestan, Iran [PDF]

open access: yesپترولوژی
IntroductionThe Sanandaj-Sirjan metamorphic-magmatic zone (SSZ) (with 1500 km in length and 150-200 km in width) along with the Urumieh-Dokhtar magmatic arc as well as the folded-thrust belt of Zagros comprise the Zagros orogeny in south west of Iran ...

A Dual‐Geochronologic and Thermochronologic Detrital Approach to Identify the Focus of Erosion in the Kosi Basin, Nepal

open access: yesTectonics, Volume 44, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract The Kosi River watershed captures the major lithotectonic units, structures, and characteristic climatic conditions found along the Himalaya. Therefore, this setting provides a useful location to investigate the respective influences of tectonics and climate in eroding bedrock and driving landscape evolution.

The South Tibetan Detachment and the Manaslu Leucogranite: A structural reinterpretation and restoration of the Annapurna-Manaslu Himalaya, Nepal [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
The South Tibetan Detachment (STD) System comprises both ductile shear zones and brittle low-angle extensional faults bounding the upper (northern) margin of the high-grade metamorphic and anatectic rocks of the Greater Himalayan Sequence (GHS).

On the geodynamics of the Alpine collisional granitoids from Central Anatolia: petrology, age and isotopic characteristics of the granitoids of the Ekecikdağ Igneous Association (Aksaray/Turkey)

open access: yesGeodinamica Acta, 2019
Granitoids of the Ekecikdağ Igneous Association (Central Anatolia/Turkey) are products of collisional–post-collisional magmatism in the Ekecikdağ area. These granitoids are granodiorite, microgranite and leucogranite.

DURATION OF GRANITOID MAGMATISM IN PERIPHERAL PARTS OF LARGE IGNEOUS PROVINCES (BASED ON 40AR/39AR ISOTOPIC STUDIES OF ALTAI PERMIAN-TRIASSIC GRANITOIDS)

open access: yesГеодинамика и тектонофизика, 2017
In large igneous provinces (LIP) of fold areas, granitoid rocks are dominant, while mantle-derivated rocks play a subordinate role in rock formation. If magma emissions are impulsive, it may take 25–30 million years for a LIP to form and take shape.

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.
