Abstract After assembly, supercontinents are shaped by internal rifting and peripheral subduction. However, the geodynamic relationship between these two processes and their respective contributions to supercontinent breakup remain poorly understood.

Detrital zircon–apatite fingerprinting challenges glacial transport of Stonehenge’s megaliths
How Stonehenge’s building blocks arrived on Salisbury Plain remains debated, with glacial and human transport mechanisms proposed. Here we test the possibility of Pleistocene glacial sediment input using grain-scale U–Pb fingerprinting of detrital zircon

Key New Evidence for the Hainan Mantle Plume Head: Ongoing Formation of a Large Igneous Province?
Abstract The process‐based surface magmatic expression of mantle plumes is typically a large igneous province (LIP) induced by the mantle plume head, followed by subsequent age‐progressive volcanic tracks resulting from plate drifting above the plume tail.

Hornblendite in the Lower Crust: A Possible Source for Porphyry Cu Deposits
Abstract Lower crustal sulfide‐bearing Cu‐rich cumulates, mainly occurring as hornblendite, have been proposed as a critical source component for the development of giant porphyry Cu deposits (PCDs); however, their mineralogical and geochemical nature remain elusive.

Ediacara Obscura: Unveiling Hidden Magnetisations in the Fen Complex, Southern Norway
Abstract Paleomagnetic directions found in Ediacaran (635–539 Ma) rocks are widely dispersed, which has led to conflicting hypotheses about tectonic regimes and geomagnetic field behavior during this period, and raised doubts about the fidelity of the paleomagnetic record.

Abstract Granitoid magmatism along the western Pacific margin records interactions between subduction dynamics and crust–mantle processes; however, the links between plate reorganization and magma‐source evolution remain debated. Here we integrate U–Pb zircon geochronology with Pb–Sr–Nd–Hf isotope systematics to investigate Cretaceous–Paleogene ...

Abstract The paleomagnetism of Miocene calc‐alkaline volcanics and sediments from Sardinia has firmly showed that the Corsica‐Sardinia microplate rotated 50°–60° counterclockwise (CCW) with respect to Europe between 21 and 15 Ma, during its drift from the Provencal margin. However, Permian to Eocene rocks from central‐south Sardinia revealed higher (up

New U–Pb zircon dating shows the Rewan Group was deposited between ~250 and 233 million years ago and that sedimentation shifted across the basin through time, with earlier deposition in the foredeep and later deposition in the back bulge. Testing multiple dating approaches and grain‐selection strategies improves confidence in these age estimates and ...

ABSTRACT Deciphering the time milestones of clay formation is crucial for modeling the evolution of major geological systems near the Earth's surface. In the present study, kaolinite samples collected along four vertical profiles within a Gleysol‐Ferralsol‐Podzol soil toposequence near São Gabriel da Cachoeira, NW Amazon Basin (Brazil) are dated using ...
