Magnetic anomaly of the Jõhvi iron ore, northeastern Estonia, controlled by subvertical remanent magnetization [PDF]
Estonian Journal of Earth Sciences, 2020 The Jõhvi magnetic anomaly is situated within the Jõhvi structural zone that is part of the BergslagenâLivonia microcontinent. Drilling in the 1930s and 1960s has revealed a complex of magnetite ore alternating with granites, pegmatites and gneisses.

Complex rift geometries resulting from inheritance of pre-existing structures: Insights and regional implications from the Barmer Basin rift [PDF]
, 2014 Structural studies of the Barmer Basin in Rajasthan, northwest India, demonstrate the important effect that pre-existing faults can have on the geometries of evolving fault systems at both the outcrop and basin-scale.

Tectonic reconstructions for paleobathymetry in Drake Passage [PDF]
, 2014 A minimum-complexity tectonic reconstruction, based on published and new basin opening models, depicts how the Scotia Sea grew by Cenozoic plate divergence, dismembering a Jurassic sheared margin of Gondwana.

The age and origin of the central Scotia Sea [PDF]
, 2010 Opening of the Drake Passage gateway between the Pacific and Atlantic oceans has been linked in various ways to Cenozoic climate changes. From the oceanic floor of Drake Passage, the largest of the remaining uncertainties in understanding this opening is

Upper mantle anisotropy beneath the Seychelles microcontinent [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2005 The Seychelles plateau is a prime example of a microcontinent, yet mechanisms for its creation and evolution are poorly understood. Recently acquired teleseismic data from a deployment of 26 stations on 18 islands in the Seychelles are analyzed to study upper mantle seismic anisotropy using SKS splitting results. Strong microseismic noise is attenuated

The Van Microplate: A New Microcontinent at the Junction of Iran, Turkey, and Armenia
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021 In northwestern Iran, magmatic activity occurred during three main intervals: The Cretaceous, Eocene, and Miocene-Quaternary. The first two phases of magmatic activity are more consistent with arc-type magmatism on an active continental margin; whereas ...
