Retrograded eclogites from the central part of the northern margin of the North China Craton, Hebei Province, China occur as separate tectonic lenses or boundins within garnet-biotite-plagioclase gneisses of the Paleoproterozoic ...

Ultra-high-temperature (UHT) granulite-facies rocks offer important constraints on crustal evolution processes and tectonic history of orogens. UHT granulites are generally rare in Phanerozoic orogens. In this study, we ...

Correlation and synthesis of published and new structural, paleomagnetic and geochronological data from Central Asia show the important role of strike-slip faulting in their evolution. The pattern of major strike-slip ...

The Grove Mountains of East Antarctica are an inland continuation of the Pan-African Prydz Belt. The area is made up of high-grade metamorphic complex and numerous intrusive granitoid bodies including foliated charnockite, ...

New Late Permian fishes combining features characteristic of several classes are analyzed and redescribed. They were assigned to the family Discordichthyidae of the order Discordichthyiformes comprising three genera and ...

The Late Permian to Early Triassic (P/T) transition represents one of the most important Phanerozoic mass extinction episodes. Data from this transitional period are very scarce in continental basins, and reliable correlation ...

Late Pleistocene-Holocene volcanism in Kamchatka results from the subduction of the Pacific Plate under the peninsula and forms three volcanic belts arranged in en echelon manner from southeast to northwest. The cross-arc ...

The Vyazivok loess sequence from the Dnieper Plain, Ukraine, documents regional environmental changes during the late Pleis-tocene and Holocene. Pedological and palynological analyses and low-field magnetic susceptibility ...

The Arkhangelsk area lies in the region that was reached by the northeastern flank of the Scandinavian ice sheet during the last glaciation. Investigations of Late Pleistocene sediments show interglacial terrestrial and ...
