The 40Ar/39Ar ages (muscovite and biotite) and P-T estimations presented here allow us to reconstruct the Pressure–Temperature–time (P–T–t) path from the metamorphic peak to the generation of the orogenic Au (As, Bi, Ag) mineralization in the Buracão area. The application of software-based pseudosections for bulk phyllite composition allows us...

Museum-grade mica megacrysts of the Phalaborwa phlogopite (ca. 2 Ga) and the Rubikon pegmatite (ca. 0.5 Ga) were screened for intra-grain compositional and chronological heterogeneities by electron probe microanalysis and 40Ar/39Ar dating, respectively. Both micas were known to have Rbsingle bondSr ages indistinguishable from Usingle bondPb...

The Terre Adélie Craton displays superimposed strain fields related to the Neoarchean (2.6–2.4 Ga, M1) and Paleo-Mesoproterozoic (1.7–1.5 Ga, M2) metamorphic events. M1 is a regional granulite facies event, constrained by P-T modelling at ~0.8–1.0 GPa – 800–850 °C, followed by a decompressional retrogression in the upper amphibolite facies at...

The Linzizong volcanic successions that crop out in the Lhasa terrane, southern Tibet have been conventionally regarded as the products of northward subduction of the Neotethyan oceanic slab beneath South Asia. This study reports geochemical data of 100+ volcanic rocks from the Lhasa terrane to better constrain the temporal-spatial distribution...

Refined radio-isotopic dating techniques have been applied to Orgnac 3, a Late Acheulean and Early Middle Palaeolithic site in France. Evidence of Levallois core technology appeared in level 4b in the middle of the sequence, became predominant in the upper horizons, and was best represented in uppermost level 1, making the site one of the...

Northward subduction of the Neo-Tethyan oceanic lithosphere beneath South Asia gave rise to an Andean-type convergent margin with arc magmatism starting since at least the early Jurassic and lasting until the Eocene. This study reports geochemical and Sr-Nd isotope data of the early Cretaceous (∼133-110 Ma) to Paleocene (∼60 Ma) magmatic belt...
