Magmatic and tectonic evolution of the Chaval Granite at the end of the Neoproterozoic, northwestern border of the Borborema Province

Brazilian Journal of Geology
The northwestern region of Borborema Province is represented by the Ceara Central and Northwest Ceara crustal blocks connected by an extensive transcurrent shear zone that represents the northern portion of the Transbrasiliano Lineament in a complex ...

Provenance of the sedimentary rocks of the Bom Jardim Group (Neoproterozoic, Southern Brazil): Evidence from petrography, geochemistry and neodymium isotopes

Latin American Journal of Sedimentology and Basin Analysis
Provenance studies are helpful in reconstructing the tectonic, climatic and geographic setting of terrigenous sedimentary basins. The primary controls on the composition of detrital sedimentary rocks are the composition, climate and relief conditions of ...

Geochemical Characteristics and Tectonic Setting of Neoproterozoic Yifeng Formation, Anlelin Formation and Adakitic Meta-quartz Keratophyre in Western Jiangxi Province

Donghua Ligong Daxue Xuebao. Ziran Kexue Ban
[Objective] The Neoproterozoic strata of the Jiuling area in western Jiangxi records the tectonic evolution of the Yangtze and Cathaysia blocks. The study of these strata helps to explore the tectonic setting and evolutionary process of the South China ...

Late Cenozoic Sediment Provenance in the Northern Canterbury Basin, Aotearoa New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 4, December 2026.
Late Cenozoic strata of the northern Canterbury Basin record uplift and erosion of mountain ranges adjacent to the transition from oblique subduction to strike‐slip on the Australian–Pacific plate boundary. Using the provenance of conglomerate clasts and sandstone samples, we reconstruct sediment transport pathways and, by inference, exhumation and ...

Cryptic Disc Structures Resembling Ediacaran Discoidal Fossils from the Lower Silurian Hellefjord Schist, Arctic Norway.

PLoS ONE, 2016
The Hellefjord Schist, a volcaniclastic psammite-pelite formation in the Caledonides of Arctic Norway contains discoidal impressions and apparent tube casts that share morphological and taphonomic similarities to Neoproterozoic stem-holdfast forms.

OIB‐Type Garnet Amphibolites From the Xuerongzangbu Area, Central Lhasa Terrane, Tibet: Implications for Songduo Paleo‐Tethys Ocean Evolution and Permian Mantle Activity Along North Gondwana

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Whether the Songduo metamorphic belt represents an in situ Paleo‐Tethyan suture within the Lhasa Terrane or far‐traveled allochthonous high‐pressure slices, and how Permian mantle activity along the North Gondwana margin relates to subsequent Tethyan evolution, remain central questions in Tibetan tectonics.

The Wilson Cycle of the North Altyn Ocean: A Record of Subduction Initiation, Slab Rollback, and Final Closure

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract The North Altyn ophiolitic belt was formed by the subduction–closure of the Altyn segment of the Proto–Tethys Ocean and recorded the accretion of Tarim to northern Gondwana, but the timing of initial subduction and detailed tectonic transition processes remain poorly constrained. This study reports the oldest Phanerozoic magmatic record of 537

Middle Neoproterozoic syn-rifting volcanic rocks in Guangfeng, South China: petrogenesis and tectonic significance [PDF]

, 2008
Middle Neoproterozoic igneous rocks are widespread in South China, but their petrogenesis and tectonic implications are still highly controversial.

The Unexpected Discovery of Paleocene? Coals in Outcrops Thought to Be Cambrian, Al Huqf, Oman

Journal of Petroleum Geology, Volume 49, Issue 4, Page 1179-1194, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Two brown organic deposits were encountered whilst investigating kaolinitic claystones thought to occur at the base of a Cambrian formation at outcrop. The age of these organic deposits is probably Paleocene from palynology. Organic petrography shows that they are subbituminous coals with some oil source potential.

A neoproterozoic age for the chromitite and gabbro of the Tapo Ultramafic Massif, Eastern Cordillera, Central Peru, and its tectonic implications [PDF]

, 2011
The ultramafic-mafic rocks of the Tapo Complex are exposed in the Eastern Cordillera of the Central Peruvian Andes. This complex is composed of serpentinised peridotites and metabasites with some podiform chromitite lenses and chromite disseminations and
