Structural peculiarities and geodynamic evolution of Taimyr Peninsula in the Neoproterozoic

open access: yesЛитосфера, 2018
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]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2018
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]

open access: yes, 2019
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 ...

Fibrous dolomite formation at a Miocene methane seep may reflect Neoproterozoic aragonite-dolomite sea conditions

open access: yesCommunications Earth & Environment, 2023
Fibrous dolomite widely formed in Neoproterozoic marine sedimentary environments, but apparently disappeared in the Phanerozoic. Here, fibrous dolomite is recognised in a Miocene methane seep limestone (Marmorito, Italy) by synchrotron X-ray diffraction,

Tectonic evolution of the Qinling Orogenic Belt, Central China – new evidence from geochemical, zircon (U-pb) geochronology and HF isotopes

open access: yesNova Geodesia, 2022
The paper deals with a review of tectonic evolution in different regions of China with the help of different techniques and models. Tectonic evolution shows that in the shallow layers of China the structural impact is not solid, and huge structural ...

A reactive assimilation model for regional-scale cordierite-bearing granitoids: geochemical evidence from the Late Variscan granites of the Central Iberian Zone, Spain [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
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 ...
