The Archean Rio das Velhas greenstone belt revisited: new insights into the stratigraphy

Journal of the Geological Survey of Brazil, 2020
The Neoarchean Rio das Velhas greenstone belt (RVGB), southeast Brazil, contains major tectonic and stratigraphic discontinuities that allow its division into three fault-bound tectonostratigraphic blocks named Santa Bárbara, Nova Lima-Caeté and São ...

Slab Gap‐Related Intraplate Magmatism as a Proxy of Maximum Flat Slab Extent in Patagonia

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Establishing the frontal extent of ancient flat subduction events from the geologic record can be challenging. This difficulty arises because magmatic activity in the arc typically ceases during complete slab flattening, and other meaningful proxies are usually absent. To address this issue, we examine early Paleocene intraplate magmatic units

Nature of the Crust in the Superdeep Bengal Basin Using Teleseismic P Waves

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract The Bengal Basin is a sedimentary basin in the northeast region of the Indian subcontinent. It lies between the Indian Shield and the Indo‐Burma Ranges, where the India plate is obliquely subducting under the Burma microplate. Multiple interpretations of the nature of the crust here have been proposed.

The metamorphic configuration of the Piaxtla high-pressure suite inferred from geological mapping and its metasedimentary rocks

Revista Mexicana de Ciencias Geológicas
The Piaxtla high-pressure suite (Acatlán Complex) in southern Mexico represents a part of an ancient subduction zone. This suite consists of slices of oceanic and continental affinity containing blueschist- and eclogite-facies relics. Geological mapping

Blueschist Dislocation Creep and Glide in Subduction Systems: Constraints From Glaucophane Experiments

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Blueschists are a defining component of subducting oceanic crust and influence slab and interface rheology across thermal regimes. Glaucophane, the dominant sodic amphibole in blueschist, is a key rheology‐controlling phase, yet its dislocation‐based strength is poorly constrained.

The Paleo‐Tethys Suture Zone in the Afghan Hindu Kush‒Pamir: Geo‐Thermochronology, Geochemistry, Tectonics

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract In the Afghan Hindu Kush, the 223–209 Ma (≤800°C) Salang batholith is part of the Silk‐Road magmatic arc that was built on ∼40‐km‐thick Turan‐Karakum block continental crust. The batholith constitutes the hanging wall of the Herat‐Panjshir‐Badakhshan—the Paleo‐Tethys—suture zone, vestige of the subducted Paleozoic‐early Mesozoic Paleo‐Tethys ...

Borehole Logging Lithological Classification in Carbonatite‐Hosted Niobium Deposit Integrating Geophysical and Geochemical Data With Self‐Organizing Maps

Geophysical Prospecting, Volume 74, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Lithological classification from borehole data remains challenging in geologically complex alkaline–carbonatite systems, where compositional overlap and gradual transitions between lithotypes limit conventional interpretation methods. This study presents an integrated and automated workflow for drill‐core lithological classification using self‐

Dating of Precambrian Metasedimentary Rocks and Timing of their Metamorphism in the Soursat Metamorphic Complex (NW IRAN): Using LA–ICP-MS, U–Pb Dating of Zircon and Monazite [PDF]

Journal of Sciences, Islamic Republic of Iran, 2010
Soursat Metamorphic Complex (SMC) in west of Takab city is one of the polyphase metamorphic terrenes in northern Sanandaj-Sirjan metamorphic belt of Iran. The SMC composed mainly of metasedimentary rocks associated with granitic intrusions.

Depositional Interplay Between the Ancestral Rocky Mountains and Ouachita–Marathon–Sonora Orogenies: Insights From Provenance Records in the Late Palaeozoic Marfa Basin, West Texas, USA

Basin Research, Volume 38, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Provenance records from the late Palaeozoic Marfa Basin in West Texas reveal the transition from the Ancestral Rocky Mountains to the Ouachita–Marathon–Sonora orogenies during the early Permian in SW Laurentia. ABSTRACT The Marfa Basin in West Texas is a late Palaeozoic synorogenic depocenter associated with regional deformation linked to the Ancestral
