Sedimentary rocks host vast geological resources, such as fossil fuels and various types of metallic and nonmetallic mineral deposits, and record the information of long-term …
The problem of excess 40 Ar (Ar E) affecting 40 Ar/39 Ar dates, particularly in biotite, is a long-standing issue in Himalayan geology. The development of in situ Rb-Sr dating presents …
In situ rubidium–strontium (Rb–Sr) geochronology, using laser ablation–inductively coupled plasma–tandem mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS/MS) technology, allows rapid dating of K …
Many economic gold deposits formed in the Neoarchean under greenschist facies conditions in association with ductile–brittle shear zones that were conduits for sulfur …
The ancient cores of modern continents, cratons, are the oldest blocks of “stable” lithosphere on Earth. Their long-term survival relies on the resistance of their underlying thick, strong …

Different mineral clocks in granite can provide age information reflecting various aspects of rock formation, including cooling or post-emplacement fluid–rock interaction. However, the …
Integrated structural/geochronological studies help unraveling complex brittle deformation histories. We have analysed the structural geological database of brittle faults from the …
