Zircon ages in granulite facies rocks: decoupling from geochemistry above 850 °C? [PDF]
Granulite facies rocks frequently show a large spread in their zircon ages, the interpretation of which raises questions: Has the isotopic system been disturbed? By what process(es) and conditions did the alteration occur?

The article demonstrates that brine was central for the supply of Ca and B to the studied saline lake. The ion transport occurred probably by thermal springs, while contributions from surface waters cannot be excluded. However, the saturation and syndepositional precipitation of Ca borates were initiated by an arid climate through evaporation, while ...

Metamorphism and Metamorphic Rocks
In the previous chapters, we learned about igneous and sedimentary rocks. This chapter presents some general concepts concerned with the process of metamorphism and the formation of metamorphic rocks. How pressure, temperature, and fluids control metamorphic processes and resulting metamorphic changes are discussed.

Recycling Argon through Metamorphic Reactions: the Record in Symplectites [PDF]
The 40Ar/39Ar ages of metamorphic micas that crystallized at high temperatures are commonly interpreted as cooling ages, with grains considered to have lost 40Ar via thermally-driven diffusion into the grain boundary network.

The lower Eocene Alveolina Limestone records the global early Eocene transgression, but is equally affected by tectonic movements of the Montsec active thrust located in its hangingwall. Tectonic movements and the early Eocene transgression facilitated a detrital provenance shift in the southern Pyrenean foreland from a southern provenance in the ...

U–Pb dating and Sm–Nd isotopic analysis of granitic rocks from the Tiris Complex : new constaints on key events in the evolution of the Reguibat Shield, Mauritania [PDF]
The Reguibat Shield of N Mauritania and W Algeria represents the northern exposure of the West African Craton. As with its counterpart in equatorial West Africa, the Leo Shield, it comprises a western Archaean Domain and an eastern Palaeoproterozoic ...

Metamorphic and metasomatic evolution of the Western Domain of the Karagwe-Ankole Belt (Central Africa) [PDF]
The tectonometamorphic evolution of the Western Domain of the Karagwe-Ankole Belt, containing widespread granite-related W-Nb-Ta-Sn mineralization in pegmatites and hydrothermal quartz veins of Early Neoproterozoic age, is largely unknown.
