Variable Sr Diffusion and Implications for Rb–Sr Biotite Geochronology

open access: yesJournal of Metamorphic Geology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The rubidium–strontium (Rb–Sr) system has a long pedigree as a geochronological tool that relies on the application of an isochron approach. In particular, biotite contains strongly radiogenic Rb–Sr isotopes, and thus can yield meaningful crystallisation or cooling ages via this approach. However, the response of the Rb–Sr system in biotite to

The Himmerkinlahti member: An indicator of intra-karelian erosion within the early Proterozoic Kuusamo Belt, Posio, northern Finland [PDF]

open access: yesBulletin of the Geological Society of Finland, 2000
The paper establishes the Himmerkinlahti Member, which is a thin metamorphosed conglomerate-sandstone unit within the middle part of the early Proterozoic (Karelian) supracrustal sequence of the Kuusamo Belt, northern Finland.

Variscan sourcing of Westphalian (Pennsylvanian) sandstones in the Canobie Coalfield, UK [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The zircon age spectrum in a sample from the Canonbie Bridge Sandstone Formation (Asturian) of southern Scotland contains two main peaks. One is Early Carboniferous in age (348– 318 Ma), and corresponds to the age of igneous activity during the ...

Microbial Endolithic Community at Meteor Crater

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Postimpact recovery and evolution in response to climate changes produced a modern ecosystem at Meteor Crater dominated by a grassland and woodland of piñon and juniper, which has been used to evaluate floral and megafaunal consequences of impact cratering during the Phanerozoic Eon of complex life.

Petrogenesis of the Kanker Granites From the Bastar Craton: Implications for Crustal Growth and Evolution During the Archean-Proterozoic Transition

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2020
Archean-Proterozoic boundary represents a significant transitional phase in the Earth's history. Bastar Craton is one of the major Archean cratons in the Indian subcontinent with voluminous granites, supracrustal rocks, and tectonic belts.

Regional similarities in the distributions of well yield from crystalline rocks in Fennoscandia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Well yields from Precambrian and Palaeozoic bedrock in Norway, Sweden and Finland exhibit very similar and approximately log-normal distributions: all three data sets exhibit a median yield of 600–700 L hr-1, despite the differences in climate and ...

Five or six step scenario for evolution?

open access: yes, 2007
The prediction that (due to the limited amount of hydrogen available as fuel in the Sun) the future duration of our favourable terrestrial environment will be short (compared with the present age of the Earth) has been interpreted as evidence for a hard ...
