Contemporaneous opening of the Alpine Tethys in the Eastern and Western Alps: Constraints from a Late Jurassic gabbro intrusion age in the Glockner Nappe, Tauern Window, Austria
(Springer, 2021)
Metabasic rocks of the ophiolitic sequences of the Glockner Nappe and Eclogite Zone in the south-central Tauern Window,
Austria, reveal important insights into rifting and spreading of the Alpine Tethys. U–Pb dating of ...
Reconstructing drainage pathways in the North Atlantic during the Triassic utilizing heavy minerals, mineral chemistry, and detrital zircon geochronology
(Geological Society of America, 2021)
In this study, single-grain mineral geochemistry, detrital zircon geochronology, and conventional heavy-mineral analysis are used to elucidate sediment
transport pathways that existed in the North Atlantic region during ...
The timing and tectonic context of Pan-African gem bearing pegmatites in Malawi: Evidence from Rb–Sr and U–Pb geochronology
(Elsevier, 2023)
The Pan-African belts of Malawi contain a largely unexplored endowment of gem bearing pegmatites. We present U–Pb in zircon (LA-ICPMS) and Rb–Sr mineral isochron geochronological and isotope data from pegmatites across ...
Establishing provenance from highly impoverished heavy mineral suites: Detrital apatite and zircon geochronology of central North Sea Triassic sandstones
(MDPI, 2022-12-30)
A study of Triassic sandstones in the central North Sea, UK, has shown that combined
detrital zircon and apatite geochronology and apatite trace element analysis is a powerful tool for
reconstructing provenance for ...
Defining regional and local sediment sources in the ancestral Colorado River system: A heavy mineral study of a mixed provenance unit in the Fish creek-vallecito basin, Southern California
(MDPI, 2023)
The Colorado River has flowed across the dextral strike-slip plate boundary between the
North American and Pacific plates since the latest Miocene or earliest Pliocene. The Fish Creek-
Vallecito Basin (FCVB) lies on the ...
A multi-proxy provenance study of late carboniferous to middle Jurassic sandstones in the Eastern Sverdrup basin and its bearing on arctic palaeogeographic reconstructions
(MDPI, 2023)
A multi-proxy provenance study of Late Carboniferous to Middle Jurassic sandstones
from the eastern Sverdrup Basin was undertaken employing optical petrography and heavy mineral
analysis, chemical analysis of apatite, ...
The Importance of Eurekan Mountains on Cenozoic Sediment Routing on the Western Barents She
(MDPI, 2023)
The importance of topography generated by Eocene Eurekan deformation as a sediment source for sandstones deposited on the western Barents Shelf margin is evaluated through a sediment provenance study conducted on wellbore ...
