Rifting and arc-related early Paleozoic volcanism along the North Gondwana margin: geochemical and geological evidence from Sardinia (Italy) [PDF]
Three series of volcanic rocks accumulated during the Cambrian to Silurian in the metasediment-dominated Variscan basement of Sardinia. They provide a record of the changing geodynamic setting of the North Gondwana margin between Upper Cambrian and ...

Tracking Dehydration Reactions and Fossil Fluid Flux in Shear Zones Using Garnet Microstructures
ABSTRACT Shear zones act as preferential fluid pathways during prograde and retrograde stages of metamorphism. Nonetheless, we still have limited knowledge of the drainage and permeability of natural settings. The preserved signature of fluid in exhumed rocks provides insights into fluid flow during burial and exhumation.

Abstract Eclogites in the Texel Unit (Austroalpine nappe stack; Eastern Alps, South Tyrol, Italy) represent the westernmost out-crops of the E-W striking Eoalpine High-Pressure Belt (EHB). East of the Tauern Window, the EHB forms part of a Cretaceous intracontinental south-dipping subduction/collision zone.

The building stones and slates of Killin : an investigation of stone for the built heritage [PDF]
The village of Killin lies in an area of dramatic landscape and mountain scenery. The use of local stone in the buildings gives a direct connection to this landscape and reflects the local geology, comprising mostly metamorphic rocks of Precambrian age

Miocene metabasites of the hanaoka area, northern akita prefecture.
In the Hanaoka mining area of the “Green Tuff” region, the Miocene submarine lavas and pyroclastic rocks with basaltic to andesitic compositions were recrystallized at low temperatures to form various secondary minerals. The upper metabasites are characterized by the mineral assemblage of prehnite-pumpellyite facies; i.e.

U-Pb SHRIMP zircon dating of Grenvillian metamorphism in Western Sierras Pampeanas (Argentina) : correlation with the Arequipa-Antofalla craton and constraints on the extent of the Precordillera Terrane [PDF]
The Sierras Pampeanas of Argentina, the largest outcrop of pre-Andean crystalline basement in southern South America, resulted from plate interactions along the proto-Andean margin of Gondwana, from as early as Mesoproterozoic to Late Paleozoic times (e ...

Abstract In subduction zones, the locked seismogenic zone is bordered by an upper and a lower transition zone. In these transition zones, deformation is primarily accommodated by an interplay of diffuse viscous deformation within a weak matrix and brittle deformation in stiffer bands and blocks.
