Early Palaeozoic orogenic collapse and voluminous late-tectonic magmatism in Dronning Maud Land and Mozambique : insights into the partially delaminated orogenic root of the East African-Antarctic Orogen?

open access: yes, 2008
The late tectonic history of the southern part of the Late Neoproterozoic–Early Palaeozoic East African–Antarctic Orogen (EAAO) is characterized by lateral extrusion, extensional collapse and large volumes of high-temperature A2-type granitoids.

Subduction initiation without magmatism: The case of the missing Alpine magmatic arc

open access: yes, 2019
Models of orogens identify subduction of oceanic crust as the key mechanism leading to continental collision. Such models, based inter alia on thermobarometric and geochronological evidence preserved in high-pressure metamorphic rocks and subduction ...

The evolution of Neoproterozoic magmatism in Southernmost Brazil: shoshonitic, high-K tholeiitic and silica-saturated, sodic alkaline volcanism in post-collisional basins

open access: yesAnais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2006
The Neoproterozoic shoshonitic and mildly alkaline bimodal volcanism of Southernmost Brazil is represented by rock assemblages associated to sedimentary successions, deposited in strike-slip basins formed at the post-collisional stages of the Brasilian ...

The Pobei Cu-Ni and Fe ore deposits in NW China are comagmatic evolution products: evidence from ore microscopy, zircon U-Pb chronology and geochemistry

open access: yesGeologica Acta, 2017
The Pobei mafic-ultramafic complex in northwestern China comprises magmatic Cu-Ni sulfide ore deposits coexisting with Fe-Ti oxide deposits. The Poshi, Poyi, and Podong ultramafic intrusions host the Cu-Ni ore. The ultramafic intrusions experienced four

Comment on “A preserved early Ediacaran magmatic arc at the northernmost part of the transversal zone - central domain of the Borborema Province, Northeast of South America”, by B. B. de Brito Neves et al. (2016)

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Geology
: The recent proposition for a long-lived (635-580 Ma) magmatic arc in the central portion of the Borborema Province is critically evaluated. Evidence favoring subduction include: low-T, high-P metamorphism; local occurrence of retroeclogites; and the ...

Geochronology and geochemistry of early Paleozoic magmatism in the Qilian orogen: Constraints on closure of the Proto-Tethys Ocean

open access: yesGondwana Research
The Proto-Tethys Ocean was a Neoproterozoic to early Paleozoic ocean that opened upon the breakup of Rodinia and closed by Paleozoic oceanic and continental subduction. The Qilian orogenic belt is the northernmost orogen of the Proto-Tethys domain and consists of the North Qilian belt, the Central Qilian block and the South Qilian belt.

The transition between “subduction-related” and “within plate” magmatism in the western Mediterranean area. The Late Miocene volcanic rocks of Isola del Toro (SW Sardinia, Italy).

open access: yes, 2007
The Isola del Toro is a small island (1 km2) about 5 nautical miles SW of Sardinia entirely made up of mildly alkaline sodic evolved rocks (benmoreites and trachytes) related to each other by fractionation processes.

Late Permian-triassic magmatic evolution in the Jinshajiang orogenic belt, SW China and implications for orogenic processes following closure of the Paleo-Tethys

open access: yes, 2013
Growth of continental crust involves the complex interplay of subduction zone magmatism, to generate the crust, followed by stabilization through crustal thickening, magmatism and ultimately isolation from the active plate margin.

The Apennines: Tectonics, Sedimentation, and Magmatism from the Palaeozoic to the Present

open access: yes, 2021
The Apennine orogenic system is a natural laboratory for multidisciplinary and integrated studies. The evolution of the Apennines is framed by the fragmentation of Pangea and the development of the Tyrrhenian Basin.
