A new model describing zircon saturation in silicate melts is presented that combines the
results of 196 data from new experiments with data from previous experimental studies. In …

Abstract The North American Cordillera orogenic system experienced interrelated cycles of
magmatic arc lulls and flare-ups with associated shifts in isotopic signatures, varying …

The present study recorded for the first time, an occurrence of Oligocene basaltic plugs in
Beni-Suef Governorate, Egypt. In addition, Egyptian alabaster was discovered in the study …

Zircon is a ubiquitous accessory phase that carries important isotopic and geochemical
information. Experimental work indicates that zircon solubility in silicate melts increases …

Abstract Archean (4.0–2.5 Ga) tonalite–trondhjemite–granodiorite (TTG) terranes represent
fragments of Earth's first continents that formed via high-grade metamorphism and partial …

Combining U–Pb ages with Lu–Hf data in zircon provides insights into the magmatic history
of rocky planets. The Northwest Africa (NWA) 7034/7533 meteorites are samples of the …

Abstract The Cenozoic Avaj volcano-plutonic rocks in central Urumieh-Dokhtar magmatic
arc (UDMA) encompass gabbro, and basalt to rhyolite, chemically akin to those from …

Deep geology of ancient continental crust can be difficult to access, with direct observation
restricted to limited exposures. The age and composition of hidden geology can be gleaned …

Continental arcs are key sites of granitic magmatism, yet details of the origins of these
magmas, including the role and contribution of mafic magma, the timing and location of …

Igneous rocks in central Iran preserve proof of several episodes of Late Mesozoic–Cenozoic
Neotethyan subduction, and record temporal and spatial variations from subduction to …
