Imbrication and Erosional Tectonics Recorded by Garnets in the Sikkim Himalayas
The Sikkim region of the Himalayas (NE India) may form an important microplate between Nepal and Bhutan. Here we report high-resolution pressure-temperature (P-T) paths taken from garnet-bearing rocks across the northern and eastern portion of the region’

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)

Cooling history of the eastern Svecokarelides: whole-rock and mica Rb-Sr and hornblende K-Ar ages in the areas of Pihtipudas-Iisalmi and Joroinen-Sulkava, Finland [PDF]
Rb-Sr age determination on mica and whole-rock samples and K-Ar age determination on hornblendes were carried out to get information on the time of metamorphism and early cooling in two Proterozic areas of the Finnish Svecokarelides.

The ophiolites of the northern slope of the Kuznetsk-Alatau Ridge are the most representative fragments of the sub-oceanic crust in the region. In this article, we present the results of a study of the metabasites from ophiolite paragenesis of the ...

Structural analysis and metamorphism of Palaeoproterozoic metapelites in the Seinäjoki-Ilmajoki area, western Finland [PDF]
The Palaeoproterozoic Svecofennian bedrock of the Seinäjoki-Ilmajoki area, western Finland, is largely composed of porphyroblastic metapelites. In the area, the regional metamorphic grade increases towards the southwest.

Two Contrasting Exhumation Scenarios of Deeply Subducted Continental Crust in North Pakistan
In Western Himalayan Syntaxis, the India‐Asia continental collision occurred at ca. 50 Ma, while its uplift history and exhumation mechanism are still in dispute despite decades of studies. A new type of eclogite was found in Naran, located ca.

Iron quartzites of the Simandou mountain (Republic of Guinea)
In this article, we for the first time fully describe the geology and petrography of the iron quartzite formation, localized in Southeast Guinea in the Simandou mountain range. In this region, a meridional distribution belt of banded magnetite quartzites

Pressure‐to‐Depth Conversion Models for Metamorphic Rocks: Derivation and Applications
Pressure‐to‐depth conversion is a crucial step toward geodynamic reconstruction. The most commonly used pressure‐to‐depth conversion method assumes that pressure corresponds to the lithostatic pressure.

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 ...
