Abstract The Permian-Triassic magmatism of western Argentina and Chile represents one of
the most outstanding silicic magmatic events of southwestern Gondwana margin, notably …

In this contribution we present field relations, U-Pb zircon geochronology, in-situ Lu-Hf
isotopes, bulk-rock Sm-Nd isotopes and geochemistry of the tonalite-trondhjemite …

Abundant eclogite-type rutile deposits have recently been discovered along the North
Qaidam ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) metamorphic belt in China. The identified titanium …

Zircon inheritance is a common phenomenon in igneous rocks, although more frequent in
granitoids. Zircons inherited from granite magmas mostly come from the source, not from …

This study explores in detail the complexity of textural–compositional relationships in fluvial
sediments. To this aim, fifteen size fractions (from clay to granule) of three sediment samples …

Abstract Tonalite–trondhjemite–granodiorite (TTG) rocks consitute the dominant felsic
lithology of the Archean crust in most cratons, but their petrogenesis and geodynamic setting …

Recycling of crust into the mantle has left only small remnants at Earth's surface of crust
produced within a billion years of Earth formation. Few, if any, of these ancient crustal rocks …

Abstract The early Ediacaran Capela pluton (ca. 630 Ma) is intruded into the
metasedimentary succession of the Sergipano Orogenic System along the oriental segment …

Abstract The Niger River drains a large part of the West African Craton, where rocks ranging
in age from Paleoarchean to recent offer an unexcelled opportunity to map the diverse time …

The intrinsic assumption of radiogenic isotope tracing is that isotope systems maintain
equilibrium between melt and source. However, this assumption is not naturally correct …
