Monazite–xenotime thermometry is a potentially powerful technique for understanding the
evolution of Earth systems. While a rich set of experimental and empirical datasets are …

Preceding chapters have summarized how in the Early Ordovician the collision of the edge
of Laurentia with a Midland Valley arc terrane led to the Grampian orogenic event and …

I welcome the comment from Dewey and Ryan on my paper (Searle, 2021), and the chance
to clarify some conflicting Caledonian tectonic models and new ideas. As outlined in the …

Geochemical data from Katian to earliest Emsian (∼ 453–405 Ma) igneous rocks in
northeastern North America and the British Isles were compiled to identify tectono-magmatic …

Scotland's Earth resources, which include minerals, hydrocarbons, water and hydro energy,
have for many centuries provided a driver for population and economic growth. The nature …

Appinite bodies are a suite of plutonic rocks, ranging from ultramafic to felsic in composition,
that are characterized by idiomorphic hornblende as the dominant mafic mineral in all …

Abstract High Ba-Sr granites are geochemically distinct from the more familiar I-, S-and A-
types (of igneous, sedimentary or anorogenic/anhydrous/alkaline parentage), in particular …

It is well-established that lanthanide rare earth elements (REEs) have the potential to record
the nature and source characteristics of their host magmas, in both whole-rock and their …

The anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS) is used to reveal subtle mineral alignment
fabrics in apparently isotropic crystalline lithologies, including granites. Such petrofabrics …

Abstract The Laurentian margin in Britain and Ireland experienced the Caledonian-Acadian
orogenies resulting from Palaeozoic closure of the Iapetus Ocean and accretion of Baltica …
