Abstract: Under rare conditions, reworked cratons and their margins preserve the orogenic roots of ancient mountain-building events. However, based on the preservation of high-temperature (~ 800 °C), middle and lower crustal metamorphic assemblages, present day exposure of these… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.lithos.2019.06.033
Abstract: Abstract Multi-mineral Rb–Sr isochron ages for mylonites of the Caledonian nappe pile (Jamtland, Sweden) constrain the orogenic evolution of the central Scandinavian Caledonides. An age of 437.8 ± 3.9 Ma from a metamorphic leucosome in the central nappe… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2018tc005298
Abstract: The North Pyrenean Zone represents a fossil hyperextended passive margin, with limited orogenic overprinting, where the thermal and structural patterns associated with crustal thinning and mantle exhumation can be studied on rocks exposed at the… read more here.
