Permian magmatism and metamorphism in the Dent Blanche nappe: constraints from field observations and geochronology [PDF]

, 2017
In the Dent Blanche Tectonic System, the Mont Morion biotite-bearing granite is a km- scale intrusion preserved in a low-strain volume. Zircon saturation thermometry suggests that it crystallised from a melt that reached about 800 °C.

Coesite Discovery in Eclogites Confirms UHP Metamorphism in the Orlica‐Śnieżnik Dome (SW Poland)

Journal of Metamorphic Geology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Eclogite lenses are exposed within the orthogneiss‐dominated core of the Orlica‐Śnieżnik Dome in the Sudetes, which forms the northeastern margin of the Bohemian Massif (Variscan Belt of Central Europe). The presence of coesite inclusions in garnet and omphacite confirms that these eclogites underwent ultrahigh‐pressure metamorphism.

Turning Trash Into Treasure: Extracting Meaning From Discordant Data via a Dedicated Application

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems
Zircon U–Pb geochronology is a vital tool for dating geological events, but interpreting discordant zircon ages—often the result of Pb loss due to fluid‐rock interactions—remains challenging.

Detrital-zircon geochronology and provenance of the Ocloyic synorogenic clastic wedge, and Ordovician accretion of the Argentine Precordillera terrane [PDF]

, 2015
The Precordillera terrane in northwestern Argentina is interpreted to be anexotic (Laurentian) continental fragment that was accreted to western Gondwanaduring the Ordovician. One prominent manifestation of the subductionand collision process is a Middle?

X‐ray computed tomography study of terrestrial analog cores in preparation for Mars sample return

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Mars Sample Return (MSR) is expected to transform planetary science by providing unprecedented access to pristine Martian material. Initial characterization in the sample receiving facility (SRF) will rely on nondestructive techniques such as X‐ray computed tomography (XCT) to document the condition, distribution, and internal features of ...

U-Pb Ages of Lunar Apatites [PDF]

, 2006
Apatite is one of the minerals that is rarely utilized in U-Pb geochronology, compared to some other U-rich accessory phases. Relatively low U concentration, commonly high proportion of common Pb and low closure temperature of U-Pb system of apatite ...

Shoshonitic enclaves in the high Sr/Y Nyemo pluton, southern Tibet: Implications for Oligocene magma mixing and the onset of extension of the southern Lhasa terrane [PDF]

, 2020
Post-collisional potassic and high Sr/Y magmatism in the Lhasa terrane provides critical constraints on the timing and mechanism of subduction of Indian lithosphere and its role in the uplift of the Tibetan Plateau.

Geologic history of Martian regolith breccia Northwest Africa 7034: Evidence for hydrothermal activity and lithologic diversity in the Martian crust [PDF]

, 2016
The timing and mode of deposition for Martian regolith breccia Northwest Africa (NWA) 7034 were determined by combining petrography, shape analysis, and thermochronology.

Exploring the Gravimetric and Geochronological Links in Ancient Terranes of the São Francisco Craton and Borborema Province, NE‐Brazil

Terra Nova, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Deep crustal fragments and structural lineaments identified through satellite gravity data provide evidence for the extension of the reworked ancient basement of the Central African Block into the northern São Francisco Craton and southern Borborema Province.
