Accretionary Tectonics of the North American Cordillera [PDF]

open access: yes, 1983
Continental geology stands on the threshold of a change that is likely to be as fundamental as plate-tectonic theory was for marine geology. Ongoing seismic-reflection investigations into the deep crustal structure of North America are verifying that ...

Near‐Synchronous Cambrian Evolution of the Transbrasiliano‐Kandi‐4°50′ Shear Zone in South America and Africa

open access: yesTerra Nova, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Transbrasiliano‐Kandi‐4°50′ (TK4) shear zone in western Gondwana crosscuts South America and NW Africa for at least 6000 km. Despite its impressive size, the timing of the main episode of dextral ductile shearing is uncertain. We present detailed in situ multi‐mineral geochronology of mylonites from both Brazil and Algeria supporting that ...

The Cogne magnetite deposit (Western Alps, Italy): a Jurassic seafloor ultramafic-hosted hydrothermal system? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The Cogne magnetite deposit (Western Alps, Italy) is the largest in a series of apatite and sulphide-free magnetite orebodies that are hosted in serpentinites belonging to western Alpine ophiolitic units.

Ultramafic rocks in the North Patagonian Andes: is their emplacement associated with the Neogene tectonics of the Liquiñe–Ofqui Fault Zone?

open access: yes, 2017
Serpentinites and fresh or partially serpentinized harzburgite crop out in the western slope of the North Patagonian Andes of continental Chiloe (41°44’-42°12’S).

A neoproterozoic age for the chromitite and gabbro of the Tapo Ultramafic Massif, Eastern Cordillera, Central Peru, and its tectonic implications [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The ultramafic-mafic rocks of the Tapo Complex are exposed in the Eastern Cordillera of the Central Peruvian Andes. This complex is composed of serpentinised peridotites and metabasites with some podiform chromitite lenses and chromite disseminations and

CHARACTERISTICS OF SOIL DERIVED FROM ULTRAMAFIC ROCKS FOR EXTENSIFICATION OF OIL PALM IN LANGGIKIMA, NORTH KONAWE, SOUTHEAST SULAWESI

open access: yesAGRIVITA Journal of Agricultural Science, 2011
Oil palm plantation in Langgikima was mostly grown in soils derived from ultramfic rocks which contain low productivity. Therefore, a study was required to determine the charac-teristics of soils evolved from ultramafic rocks evaluated from the aspects ...

Petrology, u-pb isotope age and metamorphism of nyashevo polygenic mafit-ultramafite massive (the southern urals)

open access: yesЛитосфера, 2017
In the article is presented data of mineralogy, petrography, geochemistry and isotope-geochronology study Nyashevo mafic-ultramafic massif in Ilmeny-Vishnevogorsk polymethamorphic shear zone. The ultramafic rocks consist of serpentine and chlorite (up to

Sea-floor tectonics and submarine hydrothermal systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The discovery of metal-depositing hot springs on the sea floor, and especially their link to chemosynthetic life, was among the most compelling and significant scientific advances of the twentieth century. More than 300 sites of hydrothermal activity and
