Rutile is the most common naturally occurring titanium dioxide polymorph and is widely
distributed as an accessory mineral in metamorphic rocks ranging from greenschist to …

The central Nanling region in South China was the site of uplift, extensional deformation,
granite magmatism and hydrothermal activity from 180 to 150 Ma. Information on the age …

Volume diffusion of Pb occurs over micron length scales in apatite and rutile at temperatures
relevant to the evolution of the middle and lower crust. Continuous thermal history …

In response to the general lack of sufficiently abundant and high quality rutile UPb reference
materials for in situ geochronology, we have characterised two new potential rutile~ 1.8 Ga …

One of the most impassioned topics in large igneous province (LIP) research is how
prolonged the duration of these large-scale magmatic events are, as LIP magmatism has …

Understanding of the thermal and geophysical evolution of the lower continental crust is
limited by the resolution of conventional thermochronology. Intracrystalline daughter nuclide …

Starkly contrasting tectonic reconstructions have been proposed for the Late Cretaceous to
mid Eocene (~ 85–45 Ma) evolution of the southwest Pacific, reflecting sparse and …

This paper provides a comprehensive description of all major plutonic rock units in Fiordland
between Lakes Poteriteri and Te Anau, and the heads of Doubtful and George Sounds …

New apatite U–Pb and multiphase 40 Ar/39 Ar data constrain the high to medium
temperature (~ 500° C–~ 300° C) thermal histories of igneous and metamorphic rocks …

Abstract The Albany-Fraser Orogen of southwestern Australia is an understudied orogenic
belt, which is interpreted to record the Mesoproterozoic suturing of the Yilgarn Craton of …
