Timing of Metamorphism and Deformation in the Neoarchean Quetico Metasedimentary Belt, Superior Craton, Constrained by Garnet Trace‐Element Mapping and Lu–Hf Geochronology

Journal of Metamorphic Geology, Volume 44, Issue 4, Page 265-286, May 2026.
ABSTRACT The Quetico subprovince of the Superior Province is among the largest metasedimentary belts globally and provides evidence of tectonic processes at play during the final stages of Archean cratonization. Although previous studies have shown that deformation and metamorphism of the 2.7‐Ga turbiditic protolith resulted in regional subvertical ...

Greenstone belts: Their components and structure [PDF]

Greenstone sucessions are defined as the nongranitoid component of granitoid-greenstone terrain and are linear to irregular in shape and where linear are termed belts. The chemical composition of greenstones is described.

Al2O3 in Anorthositic Slabs: A New Perspective on LLSVPs and Seismic Velocity Variations

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
Abstract Aluminum is a key component of crustal and mantle minerals, influencing melting and geochemical evolution within the Earth. Al2O3 exists as corundum at the surface and in upper mantle conditions, but transforms into high‐pressure phases like Rh2O3(II) at lower mantle depths, enabling stability over a wide pressure range.

Assessment of the contribution of Precambrian deposits in forming the petroleum potential of the eastern part of the Volga-Urals basin using results of modeling

Записки Горного института
Consideration is given to results of geochemical analysis of organic matter and oils of the Proterozoic (the RF-V complex) and the Paleozoic (the pay intervals D2, D3, C1-2) of the eastern part of the Volga-Urals petroleum basin.

A >300 Myr Long‐Lived Topographic Highland Along the Northern North China Craton Margin Driven by Multistage Continental Convergence

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
Abstract Topographic highlands commonly develop along convergent plate boundaries through long‐term processes such as subduction and continental collision. However, the pre‐Cenozoic mountain‐building history of deep‐time orogenic systems in northeastern Pangaea remains poorly constrained due to later tectonic overprinting and denudation.

Microbially Mediated Intracellular Barite Mineralization: Evidence From an Early Ediacaran Microfossil in the Doushantuo Formation of South China

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
Abstract Barite serves as a key proxy for reconstructing paleo‐oceanic productivity and chemistry in modern and ancient marine sediments. Although contemporary barite precipitation involves biological mediation, the mechanisms responsible for ancient barite formation remain unclear.

Pattern, age, and origin of structural features within the Ozark plateau and the relationship to ore deposits [PDF]

Topography and gravity anomaly images for the continental United States were constructed. Evidence was found based on gravity, remote sensing data, the presence, trend, and character of fractures, and on rock type data, for a Precambrian rift through ...
