Abstract Quantification of the timing and mechanisms of crustal thickening in Cordilleran orogenic hinterlands remains challenging. We address this in the Andes using whole‐rock geochemistry and zircon petrochronology from a >70 Myr volcanic record in the Tinguiririca valley of Chile (∼35° ${}^{\circ}$S), which captures a pivotal transition from ...

Abstract Apparent polar wander paths (APWPs) synthesized from paleomagnetic data are foundational to our understanding of the long‐term motions of lithospheric plates. Recent progress has highlighted the advantages of developing such paths from paleomagnetic sites that provide individual snapshots of the ancient geomagnetic field.

Integrated detrital zircon U–Pb, Nd–Sr isotopes and thermochronology record western Indian‐margin provenance reorganisation. Late Cretaceous–Palaeocene sediment supply was Indian‐affinity; Asian‐affinity input appeared across the Palaeocene–Eocene transition (~56.5–54.7 Ma), suggesting India–Asia collision was underway, while mixed provenance persisted

Red to Green: A Lipid Biomarker Record of Tonian‐Ediacaran Algae in Siberia
ABSTRACT Multiple lines of evidence point to a major diversification of Eukarya in the late Tonian period, ca. 800–720 Ma ago. Regular steranes, lipid biomarkers primarily sourced from eukaryotes, are first unambiguously reported from multiple sites. Here, we present lipid biomarker stratigraphic records from two drill‐cores from the Lena‐Anabar Basin ...

Key Points Measurement of 86Sr at count rates < 1500 cps can result in statistical bias. Non‐linear signals in analogue detection mode (e.g., Rb) present a challenge for accurately dating high 87Rb/86Sr mica (> 1000). Accounting for these considerations, high 87Rb/86Sr mica are dated here with accuracies of ∼ 1%.

Key Points 7 μm spot‐diameter LA‐MC‐ICP‐MS analyses yield accurate zircon U‐Pb ages. 1013 Ω amplifier resistors improve low‐signal Pb measurements. Saturn correction protocols minimise down‐hole fractionation effects. We present a systematic evaluation of high spatial‐resolution zircon U‐Pb dating using a Thermo Scientific Neoma multi‐collector ICP‐MS ...

ABSTRACT Reconstructing the pressure–temperature–time (P–T–t) evolution of (ultra)high‐pressure rocks is essential for constraining subduction and collisional dynamics. Subduction zones are often investigated using basic eclogites, whereas nonbasic high‐pressure rocks remain comparatively understudied, potentially hindering a comprehensive ...
