ABSTRACT The Rocciavrè massif is a large eclogitized ophiolitic fragment exposed in the Western Alps (Piemonte, Italy) exhibiting an almost complete sequence of the subducted Liguro‐Piemont lithosphere. Raman spectroscopy on carbonaceous material in metasediments from Rocciavrè and the juxtaposed Orsiera massif indicates maximum temperatures in the ...

ABSTRACT Integrated field mapping, phase equilibria modelling and in situ U–Pb monazite geochronology from the northern margin of the Rae craton on Baffin Island document three metamorphic events during the Neoarchean to the middle Paleoproterozoic.

The Luminárias Nappe was formed in the agglutination of West Gondwana. A high-pressure metamorphic gradient oblique to the geological contacts is recorded in metapelitic rocks from this Nappe.

A zircon petrochronologic view on granitoids and continental evolution
Abstract Temporal trends in granitoid chemistry and thermometry constrain major global changes in magmatism, tectonism or crustal thickness in the continents. Our study relies on zircon geochronology and trace element geochemistry on four new detrital rocks (two modern sediments and two Archean metasedimentary rocks) and a global compilation of ...

Abstract Stable and inert under most conditions, zircon can be dissolved and precipitated by aqueous fluids in the upper crust. Geochemical models using currently available thermodynamic properties for Zr aqueous species at 0.2 GPa predict that zircon solubility increases with temperature from 400 to 900°C in fluids saturated with quartz or baddeleyite.

Thermokinematic evolution of the Annapurna-Dhaulagiri Himalaya, central Nepal: The composite orogenic system [PDF]
The Himalayan orogen represents a ‘‘Composite Orogenic System’’ in which channel flow, wedge extrusion, and thrust stacking operate in separate ‘‘Orogenic Domains’’ with distinct rheologies and crustal positions.

The magmatic–hydrothermal transition record in zircon: implications for zircon texture, composition and rare-metal granite dating (Beauvoir granite, French Massif Central) [PDF]
Zircon petrochronology is widely used to quantify the age and duration of magma emplacement and differentiation. However, in highly differentiated magmas, such as those forming rare-metal granites, zircon may form at the magmatic–hydrothermal transition,

Petrochronology and mineral chemistry of mid-crustal shear zones [PDF]
Η χρονολόγηση πλαστικών ζωνών διάτμησης είναι μια διαδικασία με προκλήσεις επειδή πρέπει να αποδείξουμε είτε ότι το χρονόμετρο που επιλέξαμε αναπτύχθηκε είτε κατά την λειτουργία της ζώνης διάτμησης ή ότι η κρυσταλλοπλαστική παραμόρφωση προξένησε αναζωογόνηση της ηλικίας.

Abstract Trace element compositional trends in zircons separated from single hand samples have been used to infer dynamic processes in magma reservoirs. Here, we compile published zircon trace element chemistry to quantify any systematic difference between the range of compositions observed in zircon from individual volcanic and plutonic hand samples ...
