Oxidation state inherited from the magma source and implications for mineralization: Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous granitoids, Central Lhasa subterrane, Tibet
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Mineralium Deposita"
DOI: 10.1007/s00126-017-0739-3
Abstract: Arc magmas are more oxidized than mid-ocean ridge basalts; however, there is continuing debate as to whether this higher oxidation state is inherited from the source magma or developed during late-stage magmatic differentiation processes. Well-constrained… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cretres.2017.07.009
Abstract: Late Jurassic and Early Cretaceous charophyte assemblages from the northern part of the Aquitaine Basin in south-west France are reviewed here to understand their palaeoecological, palaeobiogeographical and biostratigraphic features. Three sites were studied: the Tithonian-lower… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.earscirev.2019.103042
Abstract: Abstract It is widely accepted that subduction of the Paleo-Pacific Plate beneath Eurasia began in the early Mesozoic. However, the tectonic nature and processes of the NE Asian continental margin in the Late Jurassic to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.epsl.2019.115835
Abstract: Abstract True polar wander (TPW) is the reorientation of the crust-mantle system driven by the redistribution of masses in the mantle and on the Earth's surface. In the ideal case, characterization of TPW requires paleomagnetic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.gr.2017.01.004
Abstract: Abstract Quantifying the rates and timing of landscape denudation provides a means to constrain sediment flux through time to offshore sedimentary basins. The Late Mesozoic evolution of drainage basins in southern Africa is poorly constrained… read more here.
