Petrogenetic meaning of zircon growth stages in metasediments
The Cenerigneisses, amphibolite facies metasediments from Serie dei Laghi (Southern Alps), contain heterogeneous zircon populations which gave ages spanning from around 430 to more than 1000 Ma.

In subduction zones, the locked seismogenic zone is bordered by an upper and a lower transition zone. In these transition zones, deformation is primarily accommodated by an interplay of diffuse viscous deformation within a weak matrix and brittle ...

PETROGRAPHY AND GEOCHEMISTRY OF METASEDIMENTS FROM BUGAJI, PART OF MALUMFASHI SHEET 79 NE, KANO STATE, NORTHWESTERN NIGERIA [PDF]
This research is aimed at determining the protolith of metasediments that underpin the geology of Bugaji region of Kano State. The study area was mapped systematically and the lithologies encountered include phyllite, undifferentiated schist, quartzo ...

Rheology of Metasedimentary Rocks at the Base of the Subduction Seismogenic Zone
The Arosa Zone, Central Alps, represents a Cretaceous to Paleogene fossil subduction interface from paleodepths of 10 to >35 km. Metasedimentary schists directly below a preserved seismogenic zone exhibit viscous (foliations, folds, and lineations) and ...

Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

A revision of the Proterozoic-Archean boundary of the Northern Bothnian schist belt with a discussion of the geochemistry of related basic metavolcanics [PDF]
Geophysical analysis suggests the need for a revision of the eastern border of the early Proterozoic Northern Bothnian (or Kiiminki) schist belt. Recent geological field work has revealed places where the discordance and hiatus between Proterozoic and ...

On the Karelides in the Tohmajärvi area, eastern Finland [PDF]
The evolution of the Karelides in the Tohmajärvi area is discussed. The Karelidic schists (metasediments) are devided into two stratigraphic groups, the Jatulian and the Kalevian, which likewise represent two different sedimentation facies.

Evolution of migmatitic granulite complexes: Implications from Lapland Granulite Belt, Part II: Isotopic dating [PDF]
The migmatitic metapelites of the Lapland granulite belt (LGB) in the NE part of the Fennoscandian Shield represent an arc-related greywacke basin metamorphosed in the granulite facies. Detrital zircons from migmatitic metapelites are derived from 1.94 −

The Lapland greenstone belt: Stratigraphic and depositional features in northern Finland [PDF]
The Lapland greenstone belt formed in a continental environment, as a result of rifting of the 3.1—3.0 Ga Saamian craton. The basin subsided to a depth of five kilometres between 3.0—2.5 Ga and contains a sequence which is subdivided into Lower, Middle ...
