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 …

Abstract The Samail Ophiolite in the Oman Mountains formed at a Cretaceous subduction
zone that was part of a wider Neo-Tethys plate-boundary system. The original configuration …

Laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) U–Pb
geochronology of carbonate minerals, calcite in particular, is rapidly gaining popularity as an …

In accretionary convergent margins, the subduction interface is formed by a lower plate
décollement above which sediments are scraped off and incorporated into the accretionary …

Return of samples from the surface of Mars has been a goal of the international Mars
science community for many years. Affirmation by NASA and ESA of the importance of Mars …

Primary gas accumulation with trillions of cubic meters of gas volumes was discovered
recently in the Precambrian Dengying Formation of the Gaoshiti-Moxi block, Central Sichuan …

Abstract The Eastern Southern Alps fold‐and‐thrust belt (ESA) is part of the seismically
active S‐verging retro‐wedge of the European Alps. Its temporal tectonic evolution during …

Direct evidence for fault reactivation is crucial for understanding long-term fault behavior and
reconstruction of fluid circulation and hydrocarbon migration and accumulation during active …

Improved understanding of subsurface paleo-fluid circulation history can assist in
reconstructing associated pore evolution of carbonate reservoirs. Multi-stage dolomite …

Latest advances in laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (LA-
ICPMS) allow for accurate in-situ U-Pb dating of carbonate material, with final age …
