Geology of the Byrd Glacier Discontinuity (Ross Orogen): New survey data from the Britannia Range, Antarctica

Field activities in the Britannia Range (Transantarctic Mountains, Antarctica) highlighted new geological features around the so-called Byrd Glacier discontinuity. Recent field surveys revealed the occurrence of significant amounts of mediumto high-grade metamorphic rocks, intruded by abundant coarse-grained porphyritic granitoids. Most of the granitoids are deformed, with foliation parallel to...

Metamorphism in the Ross orogen and its bearing on Gondwana margin tectonics

The Ross orogen of Antarctica is one of Earth’s great Phanerozoic mountain belts. It is thought from igneous geochemistry, deformation patterns, and sedimentation history to be the result of late Neoproterozoic and early Paleozoic plate-margin convergence between paleo-Pacifi c oceanic lithosphere and continental lithosphere represented by the composite East Antarctic shield. Convergence along ...

Occurrence of Prehnite, Pumpellyite and Garnet in Biotite from Granitic Rocks of the Canadian Appalachians: A Mineral Chemistry Study Using Electron Microprobe

A particular feature of biotite grains from some of the Canadian Appalachian granitic rocks is the presence of lenses of Ca-Al silicates developed along cleavage planes. These from the more to less common are prehnite, pumpellyite and grandite garnet, an intermediate composition between andradite and grossular. Rarely all three minerals can be observed together in one single biotite grain. Micr...

Discussion and Reply 1.57-Ga Magmatism in the South Carpathians: Implications for the Pre-Alpine Basement and Evolution of the Mantle under the European Continent: A Discussion.

Drăguşanu and Tanaka (1999) provide intriguing new chemical and isotopic analyses of amphibolites and gneisses from the Cumpăna Group, the oldest lithostratigraphic unit in the Getic-Supragetic unit of the South Carpathians (Balintoni 1975; Pana 1994). Ten amphibolite whole-rock data points form a linear trend in a plot of measured Nd/Nd against Sm/Nd (Drăguşanu and Tanaka 1999, fig. 3). Drăguş...

Kinematics of Transpressional Deformation Zones in the Urmia Fault Zone, Northwest Iran

Metamorphic and various intrusive rocks in the Urmia area are located in a transpressed active continental margin. These complexes in the Zagros orogen were deformed during an oblique convergence scenario between the Arabian and Sanandaj–Sirjan blocks in NW Iran. The Urmia area contains both NW-SE striking dextral strike-slip and SW verging NE dipping ductile reverse shear fabrics. Ductile shea...
