The ophiolite-related Mersin Melange, southern Turkey: its role in the tectonic–sedimentary setting of Tethys in the Eastern Mediterranean region [PDF]

, 2004
WOS: 000222988100001The Mersin Melange underlies the intact Mersin Ophiolite and its metamorphic sole to the south of the Mesozoic Tauride Carbonate Platform in southern Turkey The Melange varies from chaotic melange to broken formation, in which some ...

The Iceland Microcontinent and a continental Greenland-Iceland-Faroe Ridge

Earth-Science Reviews, 2020
The breakup of Laurasia to form the Northeast Atlantic Realm disintegrated an inhomogeneous collage of cratons sutured by cross-cutting orogens. Volcanic rifted margins formed that are underlain by magma-inflated, extended continental crust. North of the Greenland-Iceland-Faroe Ridge a new rift-the Aegir Ridge-propagated south along the Caledonian ...

3‐D Modeling of Differential Exhumation of Ultrahigh‐Pressure Metamorphic Rocks Driven by Increasing Plate Divergence

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Petrological and seismic constraints suggest differential sampling depth for ultrahigh pressure (UHP) metamorphic rocks exposed in different segments of the fossil subduction zone of the Western Alps. However, the mechanisms for the observed differential exhumation remain to be understood. Here, we account for the continental margin subduction

New Cretaceous Paleomagnetic and Geochronologic Data From the Antarctic Peninsula: Constraints on the Pre‐Opening Tectonic Evolution of the Drake Passage

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.
Abstract Reconstructing oroclinal orogens along the Fuegian Andes‐northern Antarctic Peninsula provides critical constraints on the pre‐opening tectonic evolution of the Drake Passage, although such efforts are limited by a lack of reliable Cretaceous paleomagnetic and geochronological data.

Deciphering depositional controls and evolution of a lacustrine supradetachment basin through facies analysis: Gördes Basin, Western Türkiye

The Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.
The lacustrine Gördes Supradetachment Basin was developed along the Simav detachment fault during postorogenic extension in the north of the Menderes Massif in western Anatolia. The basin‐fill succession is represented by alluvial fan, Gilbert‐type delta, shoal‐water delta, foreshore, shoreface, offshore‐transition and peat‐forming mire deposits.

On the intriguing subject of the low amplitudes of magnetic anomalies at the Powell Basin

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023
The Powell Basin is a small oceanic basin bounded by continental blocks that fragmented during break up of Antarctica from South America. This basin bounds the South Orkney Microcontinent to the east, the South Scotia Ridge to the north, and the ...

Rapid continental breakup and microcontinent formation in the western Indian Ocean [PDF]

Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 2004
Two of the main factors that determine the nature of a rifted continental margin are rheology and magmatism during extension. Numerical models of lithospheric extension suggest that both factors vary with extension rate; yet until now extension rates of studied margins, as indicated by the rate of initial seafloor spreading, are mostly less than ‐30 mm/

Rapid Transition From High‐Pressure Metamorphism to Exhumation Driven by Orogen‐Parallel Extensional Shearing (Adula Unit, Eastern Central Alps)

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract In the Central Alps, the Adula unit exposes high‐ and ultra‐high‐pressure (HP‐UHP) metamorphic rocks, providing key insights into the subduction and exhumation dynamics of the former distal European margin. We investigate the San Bernardino Shear Zone (SBSZ), a top‐to‐the‐east extensional shear zone developed within orthogneiss and paragneiss ...

Trace Elements and Sulfur Isotopes of Sulfides at the Leon Sediment‐Hosted Gold Deposit, Ratatotok District, North Sulawesi, Indonesia: Constraints on the Genesis of Ore Formation

Resource Geology, Volume 76, Issue 1, January/December 2026.
The Leon deposit is interpreted as a sediment‐hosted gold deposit with a probable distal intrusion‐centered setting. Hydrothermal fluids migrated through fractures and bedding planes, likely leached sulfur and metals from andesitic rocks, and formed orebodies along bedding planes and at limestone–andesite contacts controlled by permeability contrasts ...
