Reconciling the stratigraphy and depositional history of the Lycian orogen-top basins, SW Anatolia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Terrestrial fossil records from the SWAnatolian basins are crucial both for regional correlations and palaeoenvironmental reconstructions. By reassessing biostratigraphic constraints and incorporating new fossil data, we calibrated and reconstructed the

Mimicking Alpine thrusts by passive deformation of synsedimentary normal faults: a record of the Jurassic extension of the European margin (Mont Fort nappe, Pennine Alps)

open access: yesSwiss Journal of Geosciences, 2020
The Mont Fort nappe, former uppermost subunit of the Grand St-Bernard nappe system, is an independent tectonic unit with specific structural and stratigraphic characteristics (Middle Penninic, NW Italy and SW Switzerland).

Metamorphic Response to Alpine Thrusting of a Crustal-scale Basement Nappe in Southern Calabria (Italy)

open access: yesJournal of Petrology, 2020
Structural, geophysical and age data indicate that the tilted cross-section of the Variscan continental crust exposed in the Serre of southern Calabria forms the uppermost Alpine nappe (‘Serre nappe’) of three Variscan basement slices derived from the ...

Thermometry and Microstructural Analysis Imply Protracted Extensional Exhumation of the Tso Morari UHP Nappe, Northwestern Himalaya: Implications for Models of UHP Exhumation

open access: yesTectonics, 2020
Documenting the processes that facilitate exhumation of ultrahigh‐pressure (UHP) rocks at convergent margins is critical for understanding orogen dynamics. Here, we present structural and temperature data from the Himalayan UHP Tso Morari nappe (TMN) and

Low-temperature thermochronological evolution of the Menderes and Alanya massifs (Turkey) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The application of two low-temperature thermochronometers [fission-track analysis and (U-Th)/He analyses, both on apatite] to various tectonostratigraphic units of the Menderes and Alanya Massifs of Turkey has provided significant new constraints to the ...

Processes of Late Cretaceous to Late Miocene episodic thrust-sheet translation in the Lycian Taurides, SW Turkey [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
The Lycian Taurides of SW Turkey consist of an allochthonous Mesozoic passive margin succession that was episodically detached from its autochthon and translated southeastwards between latest Cretaceous to Late Miocene times.

The Nappe des Marbres Unit of the Basque‐Cantabrian Basin: The Tectono‐thermal Evolution of a Fossil Hyperextended Rift Basin

open access: yesTectonics, 2019
The architecture of the Pyrenean‐Cantabrian belt results from the inversion of a series of former Cretaceous rift basins. A HT‐LP metamorphic event dated at 105 to 85 Ma ago is commonly associated with an Albo‐Cenomanian episode of hyperextension of the ...

U-Pb-Hf isotopic data from detrital zircons in late Carboniferous and Mid-Late Triassic sandstones, and also Carboniferous granites from the Tauride and Anatolide continental units in S Turkey: implications for Tethyan palaeogeography [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Zircons from Carboniferous sandstones (three samples) and Mid-Late Triassic sandstones (four samples) from the Tauride and Anatolide continental units were analysed for U-Pb-Hf isotopes.

Quantifying cooling and exhumation patterns in a bivergent metamorphic core complex: the central Menderes Massif, western Turkey [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Metamorphic core complexes are commonly associated with an asymmetric exhumation pattern owing to a simple shear mode of extension along the core-bounding extensional detachment fault.

Anticlockwise metamorphic pressure–temperature paths and nappe stacking in the Reisa Nappe Complex in the Scandinavian Caledonides, northern Norway: evidence for weakening of lower continental crust before and during continental collision

open access: yesSolid Earth, 2019
. This study investigates the tectonostratigraphy and metamorphic and tectonic evolution of the Caledonian Reisa Nappe Complex (RNC; from bottom to top: Vaddas, Kåfjord, and Nordmannvik nappes) in northern Troms, Norway.
