Deconvolving the pre-Himalayan Indian margin – tales of crustal growth and destruction [PDF]
, 2018 The metamorphic core of the Himalaya is composed of Indian cratonic rocks with two distinct crustal affinities that are defined by radiogenic isotopic geochemistry and detrital zircon age spectra.

Tectonic Setting of the Syenite Around Igarra, Southwestern Nigeria: Constraints from Geochemistry
Journal of Nigerian Society of Physical Sciences, 2023 Syenites are relatively rare within the Nigerian Basement Complex. As a result of their rarity, these rocks have been given less research attention over time and are consequently poorly understood.

Congo River sand and the equatorial quartz factory [PDF]
, 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 ...

Deformation mechanisms, mineral chemistry and zircon U-Pb geochronological constraints in the south Patos shear zone: implications for the crustal evolution of the Borborema Province, NE Brazil [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Geology, 2022 The southern boundary of the Patos Shear Zone (PSZ) is characterized by mylonites resulting from the deformation of Paleoproterozoic basement gneisses, Neoproterozoic metavolcanic and metasedimentary rocks, granitic and granodioritic intrusions.

The chronology and tectonic style of landscape evolution along the elevated Atlantic continental margin of South Africa resolved by joint apatite fission track and (U-Th-Sm)/He thermochronology [PDF]
, 2016 Atlantic-type continental margins have long been considered “passive” tectonic settings throughout the entire postrift phase. Recent studies question the long-term stability of these margins and have shown that postrift uplift and reactivation of ...

From source to sink in central Gondwana: Exhumation of the Precambrian basement rocks of Tanzania and sediment accumulation in the adjacent Congo basin [PDF]
, 2016 Apatite fission track (AFT) and (U-Th)/He (AHe) thermochronometry data are reported and used to unravel the exhumation history of crystalline basement rocks from the elevated (>1000 m above sea level) but low-relief Tanzanian Craton.
