Apatite as a Proxy for Reconstructing Magma Mixing Histories in Granitoids
Abstract Apatite is a common accessory mineral in granites and mafic microgranular enclaves (MMEs), and its textural and compositional characteristics can record dynamic magmatic evolution processes. Apatites from the Early Cretaceous Sanguliu granite and its MMEs in the Liaodong Peninsula exhibit pronounced compositional heterogeneities. In this study,

Earthquakes and the Metamorphic Sole of the Tinos Ophiolite, Cyclades, Greece
Abstract We analyze deformation fabrics, compositions of melts, metamorphic temperatures, and paleopiezometric data beneath the Tsiknias Thrust, Tinos, Greece, which formed part of the plate boundary that, in Late‐Cretaceous time, absorbed convergence between Africa and Europe associated with final closure of the Vardar Ocean.

Abstract The rarity of natural rocks that specifically record the physicochemical conditions of the subduction interface strongly hampers pertinent studies on metamorphic trajectories of high‐pressure (HP) rocks and related fluid–rock interactions. This study examines an oceanic eclogite block from the Huwan shear zone in the Hong'an orogen.

Flip‐Flop Detachments Require Moderate Strength Contrasts Between Fault Zone and Fault Blocks
Abstract Large‐offset detachment faults frequently occur at slow‐ and ultraslow‐spreading mid‐ocean ridges, especially where magma supply is limited. Observations show that detachments at ultraslow ridges often alternate in polarity (“flip‐flop” regime), but the mechanical controls governing their formation remain poorly understood.

Abstract Distributed basaltic volcanic fields commonly host minor but significant silicic magmas, the origin of which remains debated. At Harrat Khaybar (western Saudi Arabia; ca. 1.7 Ma to present), volcanic activity erupted compositions range from alkali olivine basalt to trachyte and comendite.

Abstract The nature of mantle sections exhumed at magma‐poor rifted margins remains poorly constrained, largely because direct sampling of mantle in modern passive margins is exceptionally rare. The Iberia–Newfoundland system is unique in providing drilled mantle rocks on both conjugate margins, offering an unprecedented glimpse into mantle ...

Abstract Ophiolitic mélanges and associated intrusions provide key archives for reconstructing the evolution of ancient ocean basins and subduction‐related mantle modification. The Hongliuhe–Niujuanzi–Xichangjing ophiolitic mélange in the central Beishan Orogen preserves important records of the Paleo‐Asian Ocean, but the timing of oceanic subduction ...

Abstract Precambrian supercontinent reconstructions largely rely on robust geological constraints. Among these, the basin affinities recorded by Precambrian sedimentary fragments preserved in orogenic belts provide critical evidence for resolving the paleogeographic configurations of microcontinents and continental blocks.

Abstract The North Altyn ophiolitic belt was formed by the subduction–closure of the Altyn segment of the Proto–Tethys Ocean and recorded the accretion of Tarim to northern Gondwana, but the timing of initial subduction and detailed tectonic transition processes remain poorly constrained. This study reports the oldest Phanerozoic magmatic record of 537

Role of Post‐Collisional Magmatism in Continental Growth and Reworking Since the Late Archean
Abstract The mechanisms responsible for the formation and compositional evolution of continental crust remain central questions in Earth science. Post‐collisional magmatism is widely preserved in the continental record; however, its contribution to crustal growth may be underestimated because enriched isotopic signatures obscure juvenile mantle input ...
