Abstract: Abstract Offshore Ireland, the North Atlantic opening is generally interpreted as successive, 10-to-15-Myr-long, rifting events during the Mesozoic. However, their interaction is poorly documented in terms of structural inheritance and fault reactivation. From extensive seismic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.lithos.2021.106257
Abstract: Abstract Field relationships, textures, compositions and U-(Th)-Pb dates for minerals from the niobium‑yttrium‑fluorine (NYF-) Stetind Pegmatite in the 1.798 Ga Tysfjord granitic gneiss in Norway are described. The pegmatite has a sub-horizontal orientation and anisotropic mineral… read more here.

Cadomian orogenic collapse in the Ibor and Alcudia anticlines of the Central Iberian Zone, Spain
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Geological Magazine"
DOI: 10.1017/s0016756821000339
Abstract: In the Central Iberian Zone, the Cadomian orogenic collapse is represented by chaotic megabreccias, olistostromes and mélange deposits reflecting a drastic change from slope-related deposits, fed by denudation of the Cadomian arc, to offshore-dominant settings… read more here.
