Assessing Pb Isotopic Equilibrium Between Apatite and K‐Feldspar

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Quantifying common Pb, the non‐radiogenic Pb present in a mineral independent of in situ U decay, is essential for obtaining accurate U–Pb ages in common Pb‐bearing minerals such as apatite. However, constraining the amount and composition of common Pb, as well as the timing of its entrapment, remains a persistent challenge.

The thermal history of the Miocene Ibar Basin (Southern Serbia): new constraints from apatite and zircon fission track and vitrinite reflectance data

open access: yesGeologica Carpathica, 2015
The Ibar Basin was formed during Miocene large scale extension in the NE Dinaride segment of the Alpine- Carpathian-Dinaride system. The Miocene extension led to exhumation of deep seated core-complexes (e.g.

The Mesozoic along-strike tectono-metamorphic segmentation of Longmen Shan (eastern Tibetan plateau) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The Longmen Shan belt (eastern border of the Tibetan plateau) constitutes a tectonically active region as demonstrated by the occurrence of the unexpected 2008 Mw 7.9 Wenchuan and 2013 Mw 6.6 Lushan earthquakes in the central and southern parts of the ...

Rapid Exhumation of Earth's Youngest Exposed Granites Driven by Subduction of an Oceanic Arc

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2019
Exhumation of plutonic systems is driven by a range of mechanisms including isostatic, tectonic, and erosional processes. Variable rates of plutonic exhumation in active subduction systems may be driven by idiosyncrasies of regional geology or by first ...

The role of extension in the Miocene denudation of the Nevado-Filábride Complex, Betic Cordillera (SE Spain) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
The Internal Zone of the Betic Cordillera, SE Spain, consists of a nappe stack of three complexes, the deepest of which is the Nevado-Filábride Complex.

Low-temperature thermochronological evolution of the Menderes and Alanya massifs (Turkey) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The application of two low-temperature thermochronometers [fission-track analysis and (U-Th)/He analyses, both on apatite] to various tectonostratigraphic units of the Menderes and Alanya Massifs of Turkey has provided significant new constraints to the understanding of their structural evolution.

Extensional faulting on Tinos island, Aegean sea, Greece: How many detachments? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Zircon and apatite fission track (ZFT and AFT) and (U-Th)/He, 40Ar/39Ar hornblende, and U-Pb zircon ages from the granites of Tinos Island in the Aegean Sea, Greece, suggest, together with published ZFT data, that there are three extensional detachments ...

Low-temperature thermochronology and its geological significance in the central-northern section of the western margin of the Ordos Basin [PDF]

open access: yesSolid Earth
The study of low-temperature thermochronology at plate edges provides favourable constraints for regional tectonic evolution and surface processes. Based on the existing thermochronological data of multiple cooling events since the Mesozoic era, we ...

Strong tectonic and weak climatic control on exhumation rates in the Venezuelan Andes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
International audienceWe studied the relationships among present-day relief, precipitation, stream power, seismic energy, seismic strain rate, and long-term exhumation rates for the Venezuelan Andes. Average long-term exhumation rates were determined for
