A Paleoproterozoic complex in the Hong' an orogenic belt, central China: New evidence for a Paleoproterozoic collisional orogenic belt in the Yangtze Block.

open access: yes, 2021
The relationship between the Yangtze Block (YTB) and the supercontinent Columbia remains unclear. Our new identification of Jinpen Complex in the southern Hong' an orogenic belt provides new constraints on the Palaeoproterozoic tectonic evolution of the ...

Neoarchean Arc Magmatism and Crust Recycling in the Northern Marginal Zone of the Limpopo Complex, Zimbabwe: New Insights From Zircon U‐Pb‐Hf Isotopes of a Charnockite Suite

open access: yesGeological Journal, Volume 61, Issue 3, Page 566-592, March 2026.
Charnockites with 2691–2607 Ma magmatic ages from the NMZ show arc‐magmatic geochemical signatures. They correspond to the lower‐crustal equivalent of the Chilimanzi Suite Granite in the Zimbabwe Craton. Lu‐Hf isotopic data of magmatic zircons show negative εHf(t) values (−11.18 to −2.20) with TDMC ages of 3699–3158 Ma, suggesting their protolith ...

Geochronological and geochemical constraints on juvenile continental crust formation in the Eocene Luzon intra-oceanic arc, Philippines

open access: yesGeoscience Letters
The formation of juvenile felsic crust in intra-oceanic arcs (IOAs) represents a fundamental but poorly understood process in Earth's crustal evolution.

Mantle Xenolith Evidence for Lithospheric Thinning and Metasomatic Modification Beneath Eastern Fiji: Implications for Samoan Plume Supply, Intraplate Volcanism, and Orocline Formation

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 1, March 2026.
We provide petrographic and geochemical characterisation of mantle xenoliths from Koro Island, eastern Fiji. Several lherzolite xenoliths display spinel–pyroxene symplectite textures, including preserved former grain boundaries, consistent with garnet breakdown that we attribute to thinning of a pre‐existing garnet‐facies lithospheric mantle beneath ...

The Paleo‐Tethys Suture Zone in the Afghan Hindu Kush‒Pamir: Geo‐Thermochronology, Geochemistry, Tectonics

open access: yesTectonics, Volume 45, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract In the Afghan Hindu Kush, the 223–209 Ma (≤800°C) Salang batholith is part of the Silk‐Road magmatic arc that was built on ∼40‐km‐thick Turan‐Karakum block continental crust. The batholith constitutes the hanging wall of the Herat‐Panjshir‐Badakhshan—the Paleo‐Tethys—suture zone, vestige of the subducted Paleozoic‐early Mesozoic Paleo‐Tethys ...

Evidence for contrasting compositional spectra in comagmatic intrusive and extrusive rocks of the late Archean Blake River Group, Abitibi, Quebec

open access: yes, 1988
The Flavrian pluton is a sill-shaped intrusion in the Blake River Group (BRG) volcanic rocks in the Noranda region of the Abitibi greenstone belt. The pluton is dominated by trondhjemites and tonalites, with minor peripheral quartz gabbro and hybrid ...

Timing and Style of Tectonic Assembly and Exhumation of the McHugh Complex Within the Chugach‐Kodiak Accretionary Wedge, Alaska

open access: yesTectonics, Volume 45, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Accretionary complexes are key archives of subduction zone processes, preserving records of forearc growth, deformation, and tectonic reorganization. The Chugach–Kodiak accretionary complex of southern Alaska records Jurassic to Cretaceous underplating at shallow to intermediate subduction conditions. The McHugh Complex, an imbricated sequence

The formation of the ophiolitic terrane of SW Norway - relationships between immature island arc volcanic sequences and trondhjemitic complexes on Bømlo [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
Single zircon U/Pb dating, geochemistry, and field descriptions from trondhjemitic and tonalitic intrusions, intruding the Lykling Ophiolite Complex, provide new insights into the origin and evolution of the Early Ordovician ophiolitic terrane of SW ...

Hybridization between I-type and S-type granites in the ordovician famatinian magmatic arc, Tafí del Valle, Tucumán, NW Argentina

open access: yesGeologica Acta, 2018
In the Tafí del Valle region, in northwestern Argentina, several intrusive bodies of lower Paleozoic age were emplaced in the metasedimentary Puncoviscana Formation, belonging to the Sierras Pampeanas. Four intrusive bodies outcrop in the study area: La
