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 ...

The Wilson Cycle of the North Altyn Ocean: A Record of Subduction Initiation, Slab Rollback, and Final Closure

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract The North Altyn ophiolitic belt was formed by the subduction–closure of the Altyn segment of the Proto–Tethys Ocean and recorded the accretion of Tarim to northern Gondwana, but the timing of initial subduction and detailed tectonic transition processes remain poorly constrained. This study reports the oldest Phanerozoic magmatic record of 537

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

Role of Post‐Collisional Magmatism in Continental Growth and Reworking Since the Late Archean

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract The mechanisms responsible for the formation and compositional evolution of continental crust remain central questions in Earth science. Post‐collisional magmatism is widely preserved in the continental record; however, its contribution to crustal growth may be underestimated because enriched isotopic signatures obscure juvenile mantle input ...

The geochemical nature of the igneous rocks of the Sharbot Lake domain, Central Metasedimentary Belt, Ontario

, 2001
Two bimodal mafic-silicic suites of igneous rocks, the Sharbot Lake volcanic rocks and the Lavant Igneous Complex, are identified geochemically in the Sharbot Lake domain of the Central Metasedimentary Belt in Ontario, and their genesis and ...

The Difunta Correa metasedimentary sequence (NW Argentina): relict of a Neoproterozoic platform? — elemental and Sr-Nd isotope evidence

Revista Mexicana de Ciencias Geológicas, 2018
The Sierra de Pie de Palo (Western Sierras Pampeanas, Argentina) in the Andean foreland is mainly formed by a Mesoproterozoic basement and an Ediacaran metasedimentary cover referred to as the Difunta Correa metasedimentary sequence.

Looking Under the Orogenic Lid—Assessing the European Basement Beneath the Alpine Wedge by U‐Pb Zircon Geochronology

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Following continental collision, the distal European margin was overridden by the Alpine wedge and is now largely concealed beneath the mostly intact orogenic lid. Consequently, the geological evolution and nature of the hidden basement domains remain poorly constrained.

REE patterns of the metasedimentary rocks of the Land's End granite aureole (southwest England)

, 1982
Rock samples representing the various metasedimentary hornfelses of the Land's End granite aureole were collected and analysed for major and trace elements by X-ray fluorescence analysis and for rare-earth elements (REE) by instrumental neutron ...

Geology and geochronology of the Magdalena-Madera metamorphic core complex lower plate in the sierras Las Jarillas-El Potrero, northern Sonora

Revista Mexicana de Ciencias Geológicas
The area of sierras Las Jarillas-El Potrero in northern Sonora is interpreted as a portion of the lower plate of the Magdalena metamorphic core complex. Rock units that characterize this locality range in age from Jurassic to Eocene.
