Petrogenesis of Permian high-Mg diorites in the northern margin of the North China Craton: Evidence of crust–mantle interaction by Li, M, Xu, X, Palin, RM

“…This paper presents zircon and titanite U–Pb and bulk −rock major element, trace element, mineral major element and Sr–Nd–Pb–Hf isotope data for newly discovered Xinhure high-Mg diorite from the northern margin of the North China Craton (NCC). U–Pb dating of the southern Xinhure high-Mg diorite yielded ages of 284.8 (zircon) and 282.8 Ma (titanite), whereas the northern Xinhure high-Mg diorite crystallized at 265.8 Ma. …”

Tectono-stratigraphic evolution of the foreland fold-and-thrust belt of the United Arab Emirates by Abdelmaksoud, A, Ali, MY, Searle, MP

“…Loading of the Semail ophiolite thrust sheet and accompanying allochthonous thrust sheets resulted in uplift at ca. 95 Ma and rapid subsidence at ca. 83 Ma, indicating the transition of the Arabian margin from a rifted passive margin to a foreland basin. …”

Integrating petrography and geochemistry data for provenance and palaeotectonic interpretation of a sedimentary deposit by Salufu, Emmanuel Omoh, Habibah Jamil, Norasiah Sulaiman

“…Geochemical data was integrated with petrographic data to interpret the provenance and tectonic history of some sedimentary samples selected from a sedimentary sequence exposed along Imiegba in southern Nigeria. Sixteen samples were subjected to X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) analysis to assess the essential oxide composition and eighteen were analysed for their rare earth element compositions. …”
