Geochemical data from Katian to earliest Emsian (∼ 453–405 Ma) igneous rocks in
northeastern North America and the British Isles were compiled to identify tectono-magmatic …

The effect of selective preservation during transportation of zircon grains on the detrital age
spectrum is difficult to quantify and could potentially lead to systematic bias in provenance …

Magmatic and tectonic processes can transport large volumes of magma generated in the
deep crust as discrete pulses to shallower crustal depths, resulting in the incremental …

Granitoid batholiths dominated by felsic to intermediate compositions are commonly
associated with mafic plutons and enclaves; however, the genetic relationship between the …

Searle (2022) argues, based on data from Scotland alone, that the deformation and
metamorphism of the Scottish Highlands is continuously diachronous from the early …

The type locality for high-temperature, low-pressure regional metamorphism, the Buchan
Block in NE Scotland, exhibits profound differences to the rest of the Grampian Terrane …

Deep crustal felsic xenoliths from classic Scottish Midland Valley localities, carried to the
surface by Permo-Carboniferous magmatism, are shown for the first time to include …

The Caledonian orogenic belt of northern Britain hosts some significant quartz vein-hosted
gold deposits. However, as in orogenic belts worldwide, the relationship between gold …

Deformed vein systems may exhibit complex geometries with kinematics that are not always
easily reconciled within the overall tectonic framework and interpreted palaeostress fields. In …

Basement rocks of the North Mayo inlier are unique in Ireland in displaying a series of
Palaeoproterozoic to Mesoproterozoic orthogneisses (Annagh Gneiss Complex) affected by …
