Calcite is a common mineral precipitated within upper crustal fault zones and associated
fractures, forming veins, mineral cements and fault coatings. It has the potential to be dated …

In the major zones of crustal deformation within the Arabia-Sinai-Nubia plates, the
interactions between the Sinai-Negev Shear Zone (SNSZ) and the Dead Sea Fault system …

Dating of fracture-filling calcite with U-Pb geochronology is becoming a rapidly adopted
technique for determining the absolute timing of brittle deformation in the upper crust …

The onset of the Dead Sea transform has recently been reevaluated by U-Pb age-strain
analyses of fault-related calcite taken from several fault strands along its main 500-km-long …

This study re-evaluates the∼ 20 Myr development of the Dead Sea Fault System (DSFS)
and its tectonic definition as a transform plate boundary. The DSFS conveys sinistral …

The eastern Mediterranean region is in the embryonic stages of continent-to-continent
collision, and has a pristine Miocene–Quaternary tectonic and stratigraphic record which is …

U–Pb calcite dating is a powerful tool for the analysis of geological processes as calcite
cements are ubiquitous and sensitive markers of diagenesis, fluid-rock interaction, fluid-flow …

Bends and stepovers in strike-slip fault systems along active plate boundaries are
widespread and introduce stress heterogeneities, affecting the regional strain field. The …

The timing of vertical motions adjacent to the Dead Sea Transform plate boundary is not yet
firmly established. We utilize laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry …

Unraveling the age and kinematics of low temperature deformation events is crucial in
understanding the late‐stage evolution of orogens. However, accurate age constraints can …
