Reappraisal of the Continental Rifting and Seafloor Spreading That Formed the South China Sea
Recently published marine geophysical and seafloor drilling data permit a substantive reappraisal of the rifting and spreading that formed the South China Sea (SCS).

Tracking Bronze Age ‘itinerant smiths’ in western Poland: insights from Nd and Sr isotope data
Abstract The neodymium (Nd) isotope composition of stone casting moulds found in graves of Bronze Age ‘itinerant smiths’ in western Poland was analysed to determine the provenance of their raw materials. For the first time in archaeological research, the Nd model age (TDM)—a highly useful parameter in studying the provenance of geological materials—has

Fluid or Melt? Distinguishing Syn‐Deformational Interaction Pathways
ABSTRACT Understanding whether deformation occurred in the presence of aqueous fluid or silicate melt is crucial for interpreting ductile shear zones, impacting their thermal and geochemical evolution, and having rheological consequences. To identify the syn‐deformational fluid type, we investigate contrasting shear zones active during the Alice ...

A Paleotectonic Atlas of the African Plate: Permian to Recent
ABSTRACT The fragmentary release of petroleum data defining the deep structure and stratigraphy of African basins has been integrated with existing literature to compile 19 tectonic maps over key geological intervals from Permian to Recent times. African plate margins range in their age of opening from Late Triassic (off Lebanon), through Early/Middle ...

ABSTRACT Mylonites and pseudotachylytes play a crucial role in defining the rheology of extending continental crust. In this context, determining the age of brittle‐ductile deformation is fundamental to understanding the rifting evolution stages. Here, we investigate the Premosello Shear Zone, an extensional structure of the Ivrea‐Verbano lower crust ...
