The TTG-Amphibolite Terrains of Arctic Fennoscandia : Infinite Networks of Amphibolite Metatexite-Diatexite Transitions [PDF]
The Earth's early basaltic crust converted episodically into felsic TTG (tonalite-trondhjemite-granodiorite) crust by unknown tectonic processes. To contribute to the debate on the possible tectonic settings of TTGs, this article illustrates and explains

Metasedimentary Metatexites with Trondhjemitic Leucosomes from NE Sicily: Another Example of Prograde Water-fluxed Melting in Collisional Belts [PDF]
Trondhjemitic leucosomes, hosted in late Variscan metasedimentary migmatites from the upper amphibolite-facies basement of the north-eastern Peloritani Mountains (southern Italy), have petrographic and geochemical features consistent with their origin as near-pure melts derived from in situ water-fluxed melting of their paragneiss host-rocks ...

Procesos anatécticos (LP-HT) y heterogeneidad litológica en el Complejo Migmatítico de Mindelo (NW Portugal) [PDF]
The Mindelo Migmatitic Complex crops out in the coastal zone north of Porto (Portugal) and consists of a set of migmatitic and granitic lithologies. Field relationships, petrography, geochemistry and isotopic signature of the various lithologies allow ...

Syn-collisional channel flow and exhumation of paleoproterozoic High Pressure rocks in the Trans-North China Orogen: the critical role of partial-melting and orogenic bending [PDF]
International audienceWithin the paleoproterozoic Trans-North China Orogen, the High-Pressure Belt (HPB) is made of high-pressure (~ 15 kbar) mafic granulites hosted in migmatitic gneisses.

Extreme extension across Seram and Ambon, eastern Indonesia: Evidence for Banda slab rollback [PDF]
The island of Seram, which lies in the northern part of the 180°-curved Banda Arc, has previously been interpreted as a fold-and-thrust belt formed during arc-continent collision, which incorporates ophiolites intruded by granites thought to have been ...

The South Millevaches Middle Carboniferous crustal melting and its place in the French Variscan Belt [PDF]
International audienceSeveral episodes of crustal melting are now well identified in the Variscan French Massif Central. Middle Devonian (ca 385-375 Ma) migmatites are recognized in the Upper and Lower Gneiss Units involved in the stack of nappes.

Middle Carboniferous crustal melting in the Variscan Belt: New insights from U-Th-Pbtot. monazite and U-Pb zircon ages of the Montagne Noire Axial Zone (southern French Massif Central) [PDF]
International audienceIn France, the Devonian-Carboniferous Variscan orogeny developed at the expense of continental crust belonging to the northern margin of Gondwana. A Visean-Serpukhovian crustal melting has been recently documented in several massifs.

Three-dimensional distribution of primary melt inclusions in garnets by X-ray microtomography [PDF]
open6X-ray computed microtomography (X-mu CT) is applied here to investigate in a non-invasive way the three-dimensional (3D) spatial distribution of primary melt and fluid inclusions in gamets from the metapeitic enclaves of El Hoyazo and from the ...

Contrasted tectonic styles for the Paleoproterozoic evolution of the North China Craton. Evidence for a ~2.1 Ga thermal and tectonic event in the Fuping Massif [PDF]
International audienceStructural analysis along with 40Ar–39Ar and U–Pb datings in the Fuping massif provide new insight into the evolution of the eastern part of the Trans-North China Belt (North China Craton), from 2.7 Ga to 1.8 Ga.
