Seismological structure of the 1.8 Ga Trans-Hudson Orogen of North America [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Precambrian tectonic processes are debated: what was the nature and scale of orogenic events on the younger, hotter, and more ductile Earth? Northern Hudson Bay records the Paleoproterozoic collision between the Western Churchill and Superior plates—the ∼

Water contrast between Precambrian and Phanerozoic continental lower crust in eastern China [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2008
The presence of water, even in small amounts, in the continental lower crust may play a critical role in its physical and chemical properties and behavior. However, the environment and evolution of water in the deep crust remain poorly constrained. Investigation of water, dissolved as H‐related point defects in minerals of lower crustal granulites, may

Carbonate alteration of ophiolitic rocks in the Arabian–Nubian Shield of Egypt: sources and compositions of the carbonating fluid and implications for the formation of Au deposits [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Ultramafic portions of ophiolitic fragments in the Arabian–Nubian Shield (ANS) show pervasive carbonate alteration forming various degrees of carbonated serpentinites and listvenitic rocks.

Engineering the Cambrian explosion: the earliest bioturbators as ecosystem engineers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
By applying modern biological criteria to trace fossil types and assessing burrow morphology, complexity, depth, potential burrow function and the likelihood of bioirrigation, we assign ecosystem engineering impact (EEI) values to the key ichnotaxa in ...

On some aspects of the study of age ratios of rock complexes of the Ukrainian Shield

open access: yesГеофизический журнал, 2020
The article discusses the applicability of stratigraphic dismemberment in the study of high-temperature metamorphic complexes of the Ukrainian Shield. The effectiveness of the stratigraphic method with respect to these complexes was called into question

Modeling pN2 through Geological Time: Implications for Planetary Climates and Atmospheric Biosignatures [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Nitrogen is a major nutrient for all life on Earth and could plausibly play a similar role in extraterrestrial biospheres. The major reservoir of nitrogen at Earth's surface is atmospheric N2, but recent studies have proposed that the size of this ...

Fossil biomass preserved as graphitic carbon in a late paleoproterozoic banded iron formation metamorphosed at more than 550°C [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Metamorphism is thought to destroy microfossils, partly through devolatilization and graphitization of biogenic organic matter. However, the extent to which there is a loss of molecular, elemental and isotope signatures from biomass during high ...

Origins of the Pangkaimen Au Deposit in the Northern Great Xing'an Range, China: Evidence From Geochronological, Geochemical, Fluid Inclusion, and H–O–S–Pb Isotope Data

open access: yesGeological Journal, EarlyView.
The Pangkaimen Au–Ag deposits belong to the epithermal Au deposits, which are of great significance for guiding the research and development of this type of gold deposit. Metallogenic model diagram of Pangkaimen Au–Ag deposit. ABSTRACT The gold (Au) metallogenic belt in the northern Great Xing'an Range is characterised by the wide occurrence of the ...
