Structural peculiarities and geodynamic evolution of Taimyr Peninsula in the Neoproterozoic
Structural relationships between the Neoproterozoic rock complexes of a continental massif, island arc with rear reef and back-arc basin geodynamic affinities are described and considered in this work based on field observations within the northeastern ...

Neoproterozoic glacial origin of the Great Unconformity [PDF]
The Great Unconformity, a profound gap in Earths stratigraphic record often evident below the base of the Cambrian system, has remained among the most enigmatic field observations in Earth science for over a century. While long associated directly or indirectly with the occurrence of the earliest complex animal fossils, a conclusive explanation for the

Congo River sand and the equatorial quartz factory [PDF]
A never solved problem in sedimentary petrology is the origin of sandstone consisting exclusively of quartz and most durable heavy minerals. The Congo River offers an excellent test case to investigate under which tectonic, geomorphological, climatic ...

A reactive assimilation model for regional-scale cordierite-bearing granitoids: geochemical evidence from the Late Variscan granites of the Central Iberian Zone, Spain [PDF]
Regional scale biotite and cordierite-bearing granites (s.l.) in the Variscan of the Central Iberian Zone (CIZ) are spatially closely associated with cordierite-rich nebulites and cordierite-bearing two-mica granites, and with cordierite-rich high grade ...

When do we need pan-global freeze to explain ^(18)O-depleted zircons and rocks? [PDF]
Rocks with δ^(18)O values of less than 5‰ SMOW (Standard Mean Ocean Water) contain oxygen derived from ∼0‰ seawater or meteoric (rain or melted snow,
