Petrochronology of High‐Pressure Veins Reveals the Evolution of Fluid Sources in Subducted Oceanic Crust (Rocciavrè Eclogites, W. Alps)

open access: yesJournal of Metamorphic Geology, Volume 43, Issue 3, Page 225-256, April 2025.
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 ...

Polyphase Metamorphism of the Northern Rae Craton (Baffin Island, Arctic Canada) and Trace Element Behaviour in Monazite: Insights From Phase Equilibria Modelling and Geochronology

open access: yesJournal of Metamorphic Geology, Volume 43, Issue 3, Page 287-314, April 2025.
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.

Metamorphic modeling and petrochronology of metapelitic rocks from the Luminárias Nappe, southern Brasília belt (SE Brazil)

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Geology
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

open access: yesEarth and Planetary Science Letters, 2020
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 ...

Zircon Solubility, Metamict ZrSiO4 Replacement, and Hydrothermal Zircon Formation at Upper Crustal Pressures

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 26, Issue 3, March 2025.
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]

open access: yes, 2016
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]

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Mineralogy
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]

open access: yes, 2022
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.

Insights Into Magma Reservoir Dynamics From a Global Comparison of Volcanic and Plutonic Zircon Trace Element Variability in Individual Hand Samples

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 25, Issue 11, November 2024.
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 ...
