Confronting Episodic vs. Continuous Heat Sources in Long‐Lived Hot Orogens: Insights From Petrochronological Studies in the Nova Venecia Complex, Araçuaí Orogen (SE Brazil)

Journal of Metamorphic Geology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Orogenic belts that sustain elevated temperatures at intermediate crustal depths for tens of millions of years are known as hot orogens. The evolution of these hot orogens is largely influenced by thermal maturation, primarily driven by the distribution of heat‐producing elements (HPEs), such as K, Th and U in the overthickened crust.

Ophiolite-Hosted Diamond: A New Window for Probing Carbon Cycling in the Deep Mantle

Engineering, 2019
As reported in our prior work, we have recovered microdiamonds and other unusual minerals, including pseudomorph stishovite, moissanite, qingsongite, native elements, metallic alloys, and some crustal minerals (i.e., zircon, quartz, amphibole, and rutile)

Suprasubduction ophiolite (SSZ) components in a middle to lower upper Jurassic Hallstatt Mélange in the Northern Calcareous Alps (Raucherschober/Schafkogel area)

Geosystems and Geoenvironment, 2023
The Northern Calcareous Alps in the Western Tethys realm were affected in Middle to Late Jurassic times by a mountain building process triggered by ophiolite obduction similar to that in the Inner Western Carpathians or Inner Dinarides.

DIACHRONOUS EVOLUTION OF BACK-ARC BASINS IN THE SOUTH TIANSHAN: INSIGHTS FROM STRUCTURAL, GEOCHRONOLOGICAL AND GEOCHEMICAL STUDIES OF THE WUWAMEN OPHIOLITE MÉLANGE

Геодинамика и тектонофизика, 2017
The South Tianshan is located to the north of the Tarim block and defines the southern margin of the Paleozoic Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB). This study presents new structural data, geochronological and geochemical results for the Wuwamen ophiolite

Accessory minerals: a provenancing tool for steatite quarries

Archaeometry, Volume 67, Issue 5, Page 1212-1229, October 2025.
Abstract Steatite has been a widely traded material across a range of archaeological contexts. Yet, challenges inherent to determining its provenance limits our understanding of the networks and mechanisms of its exchange. We present a robust new accessory mineral provenancing “fingerprint” method based their specific growth history.

SEAFLOOR SPREADING STRUCTURE, GEOCHRONOLOGY AND TECTONIC EVOLUTION OF THE KURE OPHIOLITE, TURKEY: A CONTINENTAL BACKARC BASIN OCEANIC LITHOSPHERE IN SOUTHERN EURASIA

, 2018
The Küre ophiolite in the Sakarya terrane in northern Anatolia is a Penrose-type ophiolite, complete with a sheeted dike complex, and includes well-developed volcanogenic massive sulfide deposits. It is tectonically imbricated along south-directed thrust

A Paleotectonic Atlas of the African Plate: Permian to Recent

Journal of Petroleum Geology, Volume 48, Issue 4, Page 231-279, October 2025.
ABSTRACT The fragmentary release of petroleum data defining the deep structure and stratigraphy of African basins has been integrated with existing literature to compile 19 tectonic maps over key geological intervals from Permian to Recent times. African plate margins range in their age of opening from Late Triassic (off Lebanon), through Early/Middle ...

Petrography, Geochemistry and Mineralogy of Serpentinite Rocks Exploited in the Ophiolite Units at the Calabria-Basilicata Boundary, Southern Apennine (Italy)

Fibers, 2023
A multi-analytical study on serpentinites in the ophiolite units (Calabria-Basilicata boundary, southern Apennines) was carried out on samples collected from a serpentinite quarry, locally called “Pietrapica”, which sitsin the Pollino UNESCO Global ...

Palladium, platinum, and gold distribution in serpentinite seamounts in the Mariana and Izu-Bonin forearcs: evidence from Leg 125 fluids and serpentinites

, 1992
Palladium, platinum, and gold were analyzed for 20 interstitial water samples from Leg 125. No Pd or Pt was detected in fluids from serpentinite muds from Conical Seamount in the Mariana forearc, indicating that low-temperature seawater-peridotite ...
