Abstract The 40Ar/39Ar dating method is among the most versatile of geochronometers,
having the potential to date a broad variety of K-bearing materials spanning from the time of …

The early Alpine tectonic evolution of the Western Carpathian orogenic system is
differentiated into four main periods:(i) Middle‐Late Triassic rifting and spreading of the …

The continental crust on Earth cannot be extracted directly from the mantle, and the primary
crust extracted directly from an early magma ocean is not preserved on Earth. We review …

Abstract The Alps and Western Carpathians constitute that part of the Alpine-Mediterranean
orogenic belt which advances furthest to the north into Central Europe. They were formed by …

The eastern Himalaya is characterized by a region of granulites and local granulitized
eclogites that have been exhumed via isothermal decompression from lower crustal depths …

An∼ 100-km-long north-south belt of metamorphic core complexes is localized along the
boundary between the Yazd and Tabas tectonic blocks of the central Iranian micro …

Abstract The Meliata Unit (Meliaticum) is a tectonic superunit of the Western Carpathians
that incorporates the blueschists-facies Bôrka Nappe and the low-grade metasediments and …

To track the evolution and formation of one of the major sub-basins of the Pannonian back-
arc basin system, we re-evaluate pre-rift, syn-rift, post-rift, and inversion stages of the …

The Bougmane complex forms a Neoproterozoic tectonic unit located south of the Bou Azzer
ophiolite in the Moroccan Anti-Atlas orogen. We show here that it corresponds to the lower …

Muscovite and biotite from a crustal-scale mylonite zone (Pogallo Shear Zone, southern
Alps) were investigated using furnace step-heating and in-situ UV-laser ablation 40 Ar/39 Ar …
