Hematite is a canted antiferromagnet with reddish color that occurs widely on Earth and
Mars. Identification and quantification of hematite is conveniently achieved through its …

Cretaceous strata are widely distributed across China and record a variety of depositional
settings. The sedimentary facies consist primarily of terrestrial, marine and interbedded …

As a paradigm of greenhouse climate in Earth's history, the Cretaceous provides significant
rock records of global climate changes under conditions of greenhouse climate. The …

The Cretaceous was one of the most remarkable periods in geological history, with a
“greenhouse” climate and several important geological events. Reconstructions of …

Zircon rare earth element (REE) oxy-barometers have been widely used to calculate magma
oxygen fugacity. However, sometimes confusing results are obtained, such as extremely …

Abstract The Coniacian-Santonian (CS) was a time of differentiation in marine
sedimentation, characterized by organic carbon (OC)-rich black shales and carbonates …

The provenance of upper Cretaceous strata in the Tethys Himalaya provides critical
constraints on the closure time of the Neo-Tethys Ocean and the initial India–Asia collision …

Mantle-derived magmas at convergent plate boundaries provide unique insights into the
nature of materials subducted to and recycled from depths. Here we present a study of Os …

Age-dating of detrital zircons from 22 samples collected along, and adjacent to, the Yarlung-
Tsangpo suture zone, southern Tibet provides distinctive age-spectra that characterize …

Late Cretaceous carbon isotope curves generated for localities in Europe, Asia, and the
deep-sea records have provided the foundation for development of a contiguous …
