Cryptic Disc Structures Resembling Ediacaran Discoidal Fossils from the Lower Silurian Hellefjord Schist, Arctic Norway.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
The Hellefjord Schist, a volcaniclastic psammite-pelite formation in the Caledonides of Arctic Norway contains discoidal impressions and apparent tube casts that share morphological and taphonomic similarities to Neoproterozoic stem-holdfast forms.

Precambrian crustal evolution and Cretaceous–Palaeogene faulting in West Greenland: Zircon geochronology from the Kangaatsiaq–Qasigiannguit region, the northern part of the 1.9–1.8 Ga Nagssugtoqidian orogen, West Greenland [PDF]

open access: yesGeological Survey of Denmark and Greenland Bulletin, 2006
The Kangaatsiaq–Qasigiannguit region in the northern part of the Palaeoproterozoic Nagssugtoqidian orogen of West Greenland consists of poly-deformed orthogneisses and minor occurrences of interleaved, discontinuous supracrustal belts. Laser ablation ICP-

The evolution of the Sesia Zone (Western Alps) from Carboniferous to Cretaceous: insights from zircon and allanite geochronology

open access: yesSwiss Journal of Geosciences, 2020
Microscale dating of distinct domains in minerals that contain relics of multiple metamorphic events is a key tool to characterize the polyphase evolution of complex metamorphic terranes. Zircon and allanite from five metasediments and five metaintrusive

Provenance of Middle Triassic sediments in the Southern Youjiang Basin: Insights from detrital zircon geochronology and tourmaline geochemistry

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 4, September 2026.
Middle Triassic turbidites in the Youjiang Basin were chiefly derived from a Late Palaeozoic continental arc along the southeastern South China Block, as revealed by detrital zircon U–Pb geochronology and tourmaline geochemistry, supporting a tectonic model driven by Paleo‐Pacific subduction rather than Paleo‐Tethyan closure.

Detrital zircon ages, Lu‐Hf isotopes of zircon grains, Sr‐Nd isotopes on whole rock and geochemistry of Campanian turbidites in the Eastern Pontides (NE Türkiye): A provenance assessment and Gondwana records

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 4, September 2026.
These findings confirm that the Campanian‐aged Bozbent Member turbiditic sequence in the Eastern Pontides was deposited in an extensional fore‐arc basin and therefore exhibits the petrographic and geochemical characteristics of passive margin sandstones.

Understanding metallogeny around Loch Tay, Scotland: insights from isotope geochemistry and petrographic studies [PDF]

open access: yes
The southern margin of Loch Tay, which encompasses a 100 km2 portion of the Scottish Grampians, hosts several polymetallic veins that consistently trend 120-140 ° and were initiated contemporaneously during the Caledonian Orogeny.

Composition and Provenance of Victoria Group Sandstones in Southern North Victoria Land, Antarctica

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 3, September 2026.
Three distinct source areas contributed to sandstones of the Victoria Group within the Transantarctic Basin in southern North Victoria Land. During the Permian, quartzose sandstones were derived from erosion of the local Ross Orogen, likely from an uplifted swell in the area of today's Ross Sea, the Ross High.

The potential susceptibility of urban hardrock aquifers to hydraulic and contaminant stresses: The case of Shah Alam, Malaysia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Urban groundwater needs proper management since it is potentially susceptible to both hydraulic and chemical stresses. To manage an aquifer well, an understanding is needed of how the aquifer works.

Beach Gold and Heavy Mineral Concentrates on Tiwai Spit Gravel Strand Plain, Southland, New Zealand

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 3, September 2026.
The Holocene Tiwai Spit on Foveaux Strait is a 12 km by 2 km gravel‐dominated strand plain, ∼10 m above present sea level. Gravel clasts are dominated by well‐rounded quartz cobbles, pebbles and granules derived from Otago Schist 200 km to the north in evolving river drainage systems during late Cenozoic.
