As zircon U-Pb geochronology has become a leading method in sediment provenance studies and basin analysis over the past 20 years, the volume of detrital zircon data made …
The ratio of the halogens F and Cl in apatite is highly sensitive to changes in the composition of an evolving silicate melt or aqueous fluid. For this reason apatite chemistry is …
Combined whole-rock and zircon MC-ICP-MS Lu–Hf isotope data are reported for a large collection of Archean granitoids belonging to typical tonalite–trondhjemite–granodiorite …
Massif-type anorthosites, enormous and enigmatic plagioclase-rich cumulate intrusions emplaced into Earth's crust, formed in large numbers only between 1 and 2 billion years …

The Chaidanuo granite batholith is a∼ 500 km 2 homogeneous, high-level intrusion in the North Qilian oceanic suture zone. Three types of enclaves have been recognized, including …
Abstract Upper Cretaceous–Eocene forearc strata deposited along the California continental margin record a complex history of plate convergence that shaped the tectonic development …
The Mariana fore-arc southeast of Guam consists of ophiolitic lithologies related to subduction initiation and early-arc development. Ages of zircons extracted from gabbroic …
Crustal blocks accreted to North America form two major belts that are separated by a tract of collapsed Jurassic–Cretaceous basins extending from Alaska to Mexico. Evidence of …
Integrated geochemical, isotopic, and geochronological constraints from Jurassic plutonic rocks of the Central Cordillera in Colombia were used to determine the tectonic setting and …
