Time's arrow, time's cycle: Granulite metamorphism and geodynamics
Mineralogical magazine, 2019 Although the thermal evolution of the mantle before c. 3.0 Ga remains unclear, since c. 3.0 Ga secular cooling has dominated over heat production—this is time's arrow.

Fossil biomass preserved as graphitic carbon in a late paleoproterozoic banded iron formation metamorphosed at more than 550°C [PDF]
, 2019 Metamorphism is thought to destroy microfossils, partly through devolatilization and graphitization of biogenic organic matter. However, the extent to which there is a loss of molecular, elemental and isotope signatures from biomass during high ...

MARBLE DIKES IN THE OLKHON COMPOSITE TERRANE (WEST BAIKAL AREA)
Геодинамика и тектонофизика, 2022 Linear or lens-like carbonate (marble) and carbonate-silicate bodies among gabbro and amphibolites within the Krestovsky subterrane of the Olkhon composite terrane (West Baikal Area) are identified as dikes.

Zircon ages in granulite facies rocks: decoupling from geochemistry above 850 °C? [PDF]
, 2018 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?

Two Contrasting Exhumation Scenarios of Deeply Subducted Continental Crust in North Pakistan
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2022 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.

Pressure‐to‐Depth Conversion Models for Metamorphic Rocks: Derivation and Applications
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2021 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.

Evidence from Rb–Sr mineral ages for multiple orogenic events in the Caledonides of Shetland, Scotland [PDF]
, 2015 Shetland occupies a unique central location within the North Atlantic Caledonides. Thirty-three new high-precision Rb–Sr mineral ages indicate a polyorogenic history.
