Cold Deep Over Hot Shallow Crust: A Peculiar Metamorphic Architecture in the Neoarchean Metasedimentary Pontiac Subprovince, Superior Craton (Canada)

Journal of Metamorphic Geology, Volume 43, Issue 2, Page 191-224, February 2025.
ABSTRACT The Neoarchean Era is a key period in Earth's history as it witnessed a significant pulse of crustal formation corresponding to the assembly of several cratons, potentially coeval with a transition in the global tectonic regime. Neoarchean metasedimentary subprovinces of the Superior Craton, the largest unreworked Archean craton on Earth, were

Cold Tectonics of Kos, Central Dodecanese: Oligocene Bivergent Extension of the Pelagonian Domain

Tectonics, Volume 43, Issue 12, December 2024.
Abstract Tectonic and lithological correlations between the Cycladic Blueschist Unit of the Aegean domain and Pelagonian domain of the western Turkey have rarely been proposed. Herein, we focus on the pre‐volcanic geology of Kos, and investigate the tectonic history of the central Dodecanese Islands and the general correlation between the two domains ...

Basanite cobbles in Pleistocene sediments in Central Otago and their implications for intraplate volcanism and Clutha River paleo‐drainage

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 67, Issue 4, Page 451-466, December 2024.
ABSTRACT The occurrence of volcanic basanite cobbles in Pleistocene terraces at Galloway and in the upper Clutha valley in Central Otago, in an area devoid of known volcanic edifices, has implications for Cenozoic intraplate volcanism and Pleistocene drainage in the region.

3‐D Subsurface Geophysical Modeling of the Charity Shoal Structure: A Probable Late Proterozoic‐Early Paleozoic Simple Impact Structure in Eastern Lake Ontario

Earth and Space Science, Volume 11, Issue 11, November 2024.
Abstract The Charity Shoal structure is a circular, ∼1.2‐km‐diameter, bedrock‐rimmed shoal in eastern Lake Ontario with a ∼20‐m‐deep central basin. The structure has been proposed as a possible Middle Ordovician impact crater or volcanic intrusion. We conducted marine seismic and magnetic surveys (9‐km2) and 3‐D geophysical modeling to better resolve ...

Middle Proterozoic ultramafic lamprophyre dykes in the Archaean of the Atâ area, central West Greenland

Rapport Grønlands Geologiske Undersøgelse, 1989
During the mapping of gneisses and supracrustal rocks around Eqe in the eastern part of the Atâ area in 1988 a series of ultramafic dykes of lamprophyric affinity were discovered by the authors. The dykes are conspicuous in the field because of their lithology, with often high contents of carbonate, and the occurrence of brownish phlogopite phenocrysts.

Structures and Magmatism Associated With a Failed Triple Junction in Traill Ø, East Greenland

Tectonics, Volume 43, Issue 9, September 2024.
Abstract The Late Eocene–Oligocene post‐breakup magmatism of the North Atlantic Igneous Province (NAIP) in East Greenland, is represented by sub‐volcanic intrusions associated with a NE‐SW oriented magmatic lineament, the Werner Bjerge Rift. This onshore magmatism extends for more than 100 km from eastern Traill Ø to Werner Bjerge.

Petrologic relationship between lamprophyres, carbonatites, and heavy rare‐earth element enriched breccias at Hicks Dome

Terra Nova, Volume 36, Issue 4, Page 298-305, August 2024.
Abstract New petrological, geochemical, and P–T modelling results from igneous samples clarify how carbonatite‐lamprophyre magmatism, fluorite and rare earth element (REE) enrichment are petrogenetically related in southern Illinois. P–T modelling reveals that igneous rocks derive from a deep mantle carbonated source, that is consistent with trace ...

Nature and origin of ultramafic lamprophyres and carbonatites from the borders of the Labrador Sea

, 2005
Die Ränder des Labrador Meeres wurden während des späten Neoproterozoikums intensiv von karbonatreichen silikatischen Schmelzen durchsetzt. Diese Schmelzen bildeted sich bei Drucken zwischen ca. 4-6 GPa (ca. 120-180 km Tiefe) an der Basis der kontinentalen Mantel-Lithosphäre.
