Corona formation around monazite and xenotime during greenschist-facies metamorphism and deformation by F. Hentschel, E. Janots, C. A. Trepmann, V. Magnin, P. Lanari

“…The corona microstructure documents replacement reactions of a single reactant into multiple distinct mineral growth zones by dissolution and precipitation processes at non-isostatic, greenschist-facies conditions, which prevailed in the area to the north of the Defereggen–Antholz–Vals shear zone between the middle Cretaceous and the Oligocene. These reactions ceased before being completed, and REE gradients within single grains within the corona and on the thin-section scale are preserved, which suggests restricted and/or episodic transport of REE in the fluid phase and/or availability of fluid.…”

An evaluation of Deccan Traps eruption rates using geochronologic data by B. Schoene, M. P. Eddy, C. B. Keller, K. M. Samperton

“…These datasets can be analyzed in finer detail to determine eruption rates, which are critical for connecting volcanism, associated volatile emissions, and any potential effects on the Earth's climate before and after the Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary (KPB). It is our observation that the community has frequently misinterpreted how the eruption rates derived from these two datasets vary across the KPB. …”

Structural, metamorphic and geochronological studies in the south-east Tauern (Austria) by Waters, D

“…</p> <p>The recognition of a high temperature, relatively low pressure metamorphic event, distributed in an elongate east-west trending belt in the Altkristallin, suggests that the two contrasted early Alpine metamorphisms in the Alps constitute paired metamorphic belts indicating southward subduction under the Altkristallin during the Cretaceous. The absence of large volumes of igneous rocks may be explained if the subduction was relatively short-lived.…”
