This study presents lithologic and petrogenetic investigation of bedded quartzite from Okemesi massive quartzites Ado-Ekiti in southwestern Nigeria. is extensive, thickly steeply dipping while hummocky, ferruginous, fractured, non-bedded. Analytical results reveal average SiO2 (94.74 %) (93.88%). Similarly, Rb/Sr are 0.74 1.22 Sr/Ba 0.89 0.69, respectively. These parameters portray them as supr...

Lower Cretaceous (Aptian-Albian) sandstones of the Ghaggar-Hakra Formation in Barmer Basin northwest Rajasthan, India, have a complex depositional history which is confusing given they are quartzose arenites. The heavy mineral grains very well-rounded, and assemblage dominated by zircon rutile suggesting that sediments been recycled multiple times, whilst presence staurolite indicates metapelit...

The current configuration of the Alpujarride complex (Befic Orogen) comprises a stack of thinned tectonic units, made up mainly of continental crest. P T path modelling in different levels of an Alpujarride unit (the Salobrefia tectonic unit) reveals a high-pressure metamorphic stage followed by subsequent decompression at nearly isothermal conditions. Nevertheless, the P T conditions differ fr...

Thermobarometry suggests that ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) to high-pressure (HP) rocks across the Western Gneiss Region ponded at the Moho following as much as 100 km of exhumation through the mantle and before exhumation to the upper crust. Eclogite across the c. 22 000 km study area records minimum pressures of c. 8–18 kbar and temperatures of c. 650–780 C. One orthopyroxene eclogite yields an UH...
