Sedimentary Mercury Enrichments as a Tracer of Large Igneous Province Volcanism

open access: yesGeophysical Monograph Series, Page 247-262., 2021

Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact

An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Extreme metamorphism and metamorphic facies series at convergent plate boundaries: Implications for supercontinent dynamics

open access: yesGeosphere, 2021
Crustal metamorphism under extreme pressure-temperature conditions produces characteristic ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) and ultrahigh-temperature (UHT) mineral assemblages at convergent plate boundaries.

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]

open access: yes, 2006
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 ...

Timing of late Palaeoproterozoic metamorphism in the northern Belomorian Belt, White Sea region: Conclusions from U-Pb isotopic data and P-T evidence [PDF]

open access: yesBulletin of the Geological Society of Finland, 2001
Brilliant-looking zircon crystals from a garnet-amphibolitic, metamorphosed mafic dyke at Lyagkomina in the Lake Kovdozero area, northern Belomorian Belt, most probably mark the 1875±4 Ma age of peak late Palaeoproterozoic regional metamorphism which ...

ZIRCONS FROM ROCKS OF THE MURZINKA-ADUI METAMORPHIC COMPLEX: GEOCHEMISTRY, THERMOMETRY, POLYCHRONISM, AND GENETIC CONSEQUENCES

open access: yesГеодинамика и тектонофизика, 2021
Transformation of the oceanic crust into the continental one in orogenic belts is an important problem in petrological studies. In the paleocontinental sector of the Urals, a key object for tracing the stages of metamorphism and investigating the origin ...

Late Precambrian U-Pb titanite age for peak regional metamorphism and deformation (Knoydartian orogeny) in the western Moine, Scotland [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
There has been controversy over the number and timing of orogenies in the Precambrian Moine block in the Scottish Caledonides since the earliest radiometric dating in the 1960s. This work challenges a recent hypothesis, that this sector of the Laurentian

Biomineralization of primary carbonate cements: a new biosignature in the fossil record from the Anisian of Southern Italy

open access: yesLethaia, EarlyView., 2021
Biomineralization is a generic term used to indicate biological‐mediated mineral formation. In carbonate mineralization, nucleation of crystals can be: (1) controlled directly by the organisms, like in the skeletal formation of most metazoans; (2) induced by microbial communities, by indirect precipitation mediated by their metabolic activities; or (3)

Relationship between deformation structure and partial melting in pelitic migmatites of Hamaden region, Sanandaj-Sirjan Zone [PDF]

open access: yesپترولوژی
The present paper describes some field characteristics of deformation in a high-strain and high temperature zone in migmatitic rocks, with several kilometers wide occurring in Hamedan and Toyserkan regions, NW of the Sanandaj- Sirjan Zone.

GEOCHEMICAL MARKERS OF THE JOINT STRUCTURAL AND COMPOSITIONAL EVOLUTION OF THE BASEMENT AND COVER (NORTHERN LADOGA SWECOFENNIDES, RUSSIA)

open access: yesГеодинамика и тектонофизика, 2022
Detailed studies of the deeply metamorphosed Early Precambrian rocks of the Northern Ladoga region allowed us to distinguish three deformation stages of the Svecofennian tectogenesis during which there occurred significant structural and compositional ...

Pressure, temperature and time constraints on tectonic models for southwestern Sweden [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
In this work, a number of key localities have been investigated in detail in order to provide precise constraints on models for the tectonic evolution of southern Sweden.
