Geological evidence, supported by biogeographical data and in accord with
palaeomagnetic constraints, indicates that “one ocean” models for the Variscides should be …

The non-cylindrical character of the Variscan Belt is established via a description of its most
salient geological characteristics and correlations among the main and relatively minor …

锆石是岩浆岩, 变质岩和石英脉型金矿床中的一种常见副矿物, 对锆石成因类型的准确判断是
正确理解锆石U-Pb 年龄意义的关键. 本文中笔者对不同成因类型锆石的判别标志及年龄意义 …

The Variscides of Europe and N-Africa are the result of the convergence of the plates of
Gondwana and Laurussia in the Paleozoic. This orogen is characterized by the juxtaposition …

Zircon U-Pb dating is the most commonly used method for isotopic geochronology.
However, it has been a difficult issue when relating zircon U-Pb ages to metamorphic …

Natural zircon crystals often show complex secondary textures that cut across primary
growth zones. In zircon showing structural damage caused by self-irradiation, such textures …

Water plays a critical role in erosion and sediment transport and this relationship is most
evident in the hyperarid Atacama Desert of Northern Chile, a region characterized by …

The Qinling orogenic belt (QOB) located between the North China Craton (NCC) and the
Yangtze Craton (YZC) is composed of the Northern Qinling Belt (NQB) and the Southern …

High-pressure (HP)/low-temperature (LT) metamorphic rocks, such as eclogite and
blueschist, are generally regarded as an indicator of subduction-zone metamorphism …

Simultaneous in-situ analyses of trace elements, U–Th–Pb and Lu–Hf isotopes were carried
out on distinct domains of zircons in ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) eclogite-facies metamorphic …
