Mantle and geological evidence for a Late Jurassic – Cretaceous suture spanning North America by Sigloch, K, Mihalynuk, M

“…We proceed to demonstrate that this suture prediction fits the spatiotemporal evidence for the collapse of at least 11 Middle Jurassic to Late Cretaceous basins wedged between the Intermontane and Insular-Guerrero superterranes, about half of which are known to contain mantle rocks. These relative late suturing ages run counter to the Middle Jurassic or older timing required and asserted by the prevailing, Andean-analogue model for the North American Cordillera. …”

Shisha Pangma leucogranite, south Tibetan Himalaya: Field relations, geochemistry, age, origin, and emplacement by Searle, M, Parrish, R, Hodges, K, Hurford, A, Ayres, M, Whitehouse, M

“…The pluton occurs immediately below the Shisha Pangma Detachment, a strand of the South Tibetan Detachment (STD) system, a low angle (30°) north-dipping normal fault placing Paleozoic black slates atop sillimanitc-grade pelites and calc-silicate rocks. K-feldspar augen gneisses containing fibrolite and sillimanite paragneisses along the footwall show strong internal S-C fabrics indicative of down-to-the-north extension. …”

The evolution of Late Quaternary alluvial landscapes in northern Oman by Woor, S

“…Fan morphologies are strongly controlled by their diverse catchment morphologies and lithologies, with smaller, steeper catchments comprised of less erodible rocks producing smaller, steeper fans. Fans in more complex depositional settings, such as coastlines, have weaker relationships with catchment morphology due to greater external influences. …”

First integrated tephrochronological record for the last ∼190 kyr from the Fucino Quaternary lacustrine succession, central Italy by Giaccio, B, Niespolo, E, Pereira, A, Nomade, S, Renne, P, Albert, P, Arienzo, I, Regattieri, E, Wagner, B, Zanchetta, G, Gaeta, M, Galli, P, Mannella, G, Peronace, E, Sottili, G, Florindo, F, Leicher, N, Marra, F, Tomlinson, E

“…We also propose a new, more expeditious covariation diagram (CaO/FeOtot vs Cl) for identifying the volcanic source of trachytic to phonolitic and tephrytic to phonolitic tephra, that are the most common compositions of pyroclastic rocks from volcanoes of Campania and Latium regions. …”

Mineralogy and sedimentology of the Pleistocene to Holocene on the leeward margin of Great Bahama Bank by Rendle, R, Reijmer, J, Kroon, D, Henderson, G

“…However, little is written about the grain-size properties for carbonate rocks. This fundamental property forms a controlling factor for other derived physical properties such as bulk density, porosity, and permeability. …”
