Post-Hercynian ultrahigh-temperature tectono-metamorphic evolution of the Middle Atlas lower crust (central Morocco) revealed by metapelitic granulite xenoliths [PDF]
The study of metapelitic sillimanite- and garnet-bearing granulite xenoliths brought to the surface by the basanite of the 650 ka Tafraoute maar shed new light on the lower crust of the Tabular Middle Atlas (Morocco).

ABSTRACT The early Miocene unconformity (EMU) formed during a transition in the tectonic regime of western North America that coincided with faunal diversification. The Railroad Canyon section in the northern Rocky Mountains provides a complete geologic record around this event. Our new magnetostratigraphic study in combination with published U‐Pb ages

ABSTRACT The Hokuroku district of NE Japan hosts the type locality for Kuroko volcanic‐hosted massive sulphide (VHMS) deposits, which are the product of seafloor hydrothermal venting in a continental rift during the opening of the Sea of Japan in the Miocene.

Thermal structure and exhumation history of the Lesser Himalaya in central Nepal [PDF]
The Lesser Himalaya (LH) consists of metasedimentary rocks that have been scrapped off from the underthrusting Indian crust and accreted to the mountain range over the last ~20 Myr. It now forms a significant fraction of the Himalayan collisional orogen.

Introduction Hornblende-bearing gabbroic rocks are quite common in subduction-related magmatic suites and considered to represent magmatic differentiation process in arc magmas (Heliker, 1995; Hickey-Vargas et al., 1995; Mandal and Ray, 2012).

Fe Oxidation State and Oxygen Isotope Composition of Diverse Metasomatized Peridotite Rocks
ABSTRACT Metasomatic fluids are thought to be oxidising agents that react with the surrounding mantle rocks, causing changes in the bulk Fe3+/ΣFe, their redox state, and affecting the partitioning of trace elements and the fractionation of O isotopes. Worldwide distributed metasomatized peridotites represent the ideal case study to investigate the role

A numerical modelling approach is used to validate the physical and ge- ological reliability of the ablative subduction mechanism during Alpine con- vergence in order to interpret the tectonic and metamorphic evolution of an inner portion of the Alpine ...

Tracking Sediment Mixing Along the Lower Danube River From the Carpathians to the Black Sea
ABSTRACT We use detrital zircon U–Pb geochronology as a sediment provenance tracer in modern river sands to better understand how tectonic, climatic, and anthropogenic processes modulate sediment transport dynamics of the Carpathians to the Black Sea source to sink system.

ABSTRACT This study applies Δ₄₇/U–Pb thermochronology to the Middle Jurassic carbonates exposed in the southeastern margin of the Paris Basin. By integrating clumped isotope analyses and U–Pb dating of diagenetic carbonates, we reconstruct the thermal and exhumation history of the sedimentary succession.
