A practical approach for discriminating tectonic settings of basaltic rocks using machine learning
Applied Computing and Geosciences, 2023 Elucidating the tectonic setting of unknown rock samples has long attracted the interest of not only igneous petrologists but also a wide range of geoscientists.

Multi-scale depositional successions in tectonic settings [PDF]
Earth-Science Reviews, 2020 <p><span>Observations in sedimentary basins affected by deformation show that the fault-induced depositional accommodation, at various spatial and temporal scales, is closely linked to basin kinematics. The tectonically-driven sediment infill displays the history of deepening and shoaling facies that are controlled ...

Tectonic setting of kimberlites
Lithos, 2009 Kimberlites can be viewed as time capsules in a global plate tectonic framework. Their distribution illustrates clustering in time and space. Kimberlite ages span the assembly and break-up of a number of supercontinents, such as Rodinia and Gondwana.

Mineralogy and Geochemistry of Sediments from Lake Tuz
Hittite Journal of Science and Engineering, 2021 Lake Tuz is in a closed basin, in the center of the Anatolia (Turkey). The lake has shallow hypersaline water. In this study, mineralogical and geochemical features of the lake sediments sampled by core drillings were investigated.

Testing of multidimensional tectonomagmatic discrimination diagrams on fresh and altered rocks
Geologica Carpathica, 2016 We evaluated 55 multidimensional diagrams proposed during 2004-2013 for the tectonic discrimination of ultrabasic, basic, intermediate, and acid magmas.

Resolving the Tectonic Setting of South China in the Late Paleozoic
Geophysical Research Letters, 2022 The tectonic setting of South China during the late Paleozoic is essential to understanding the geodynamics off the eastern margin of Pangea supercontinent due to its unique paleo‐position at the confluence of the Paleo‐Tethys and Panthalassic oceans ...
