The Turner Mountain syenite, Maine, USA: geology, geochemistry, geochronology, petrogenesis, and post-orogenic exhumation

Geochemistry and petrogenesis of post-collisional ultrapotassic syenites and granites from southernmost Brazil: the Piquiri Syenite Massif.

The Piquiri Syenite Massif, southernmost Brazil, is part of the post-collisional magmatism related to the Neoproterozoic Brasiliano-Pan-African Orogenic Cycle. The massif is about 12 km in diameter and is composed of syenites, granites, monzonitic rocks and lamprophyres. Diopside-phlogopite, diopside-biotite-augite-calcic-amphibole, are the main ferro-magnesian paragenesis in the syenitic rocks...

geology, alteration, mineralization, petrogenesis, geochronology, geochemistry and airborne geophysics of kuh shah prospecting area, sw birjand

the kuh shah prospecting area is located in tertiary volcano-plutonic belt of the lut block. more than seventeen subvolcanic intermediate to acidic intrusive rocks, diorite to syenite in composition, were identified in the study area. the intrusions are related to hydrothermal alteration zones and contain argillic, propylitic, advanced argillic, silicified, quartz-sericite-pyrite, gossan and hy...

Geology, Petrology and Geochemistry of Traveler Rhyolite and Katahdin Pluton (northcentral Maine)

The Traveler Rhyolite-Katahdin Pluton Igneous Complex of of the Lower Devonian age in Northcentral Maine consists of two penecontemporaneous but genetically independent magmatic episodes. The earlier, voluminous episode includes the Traveler Rhyolite and the Katahdin Granite, whereas the slightly younger episode is comprised of minor intrusions of Horserace Quartz Diorite, Harrington Lake Porph...

Late orogenic exhumation of the Variscan high‐grade units

[1] The current structure of the South Armorican Domain in the French Variscan Belt, provides an excellent record of the late orogenic evolution, as documented by the complex interactions between extensional structures and partial melting. In the Golfe du Morbihan, the South Brittany Migmatite Belt (SBMB), tectonically overlain by non‐melted metamorphic units, was studied by combined structural...
