Contemporaneous formation of vein-hosted and stratabound gold mineralization at the world-class Dead Bullock Soak mining camp, Australia

We investigate the relative and absolute timing associated with the formation of the world-class Dead Bullock Soak (DBS) mining camp. The study area is situated in the Paleoproterozoic Granites-Tanami Gold Province in the Northern Territory, Australia, and consists of five orog...

Spinel, olivine, and pyroxene chemistry of the Eoarchaean Manfred Complex (Yilgarn Craton, Western Australia), with implications for the tectonic setting of Archaean layered mafic intrusions and the stabilisation of continental nuclei

Anorthosite complexes are distinctive components of Archaean cratons and their petrogenesis has implications for ancient mantle evolution, early Earth geodynamics, and growth of continental crust. However, the origin and tectonic setting of Archaean anorthosites and their compl...

Numerical modeling of post-collisional carbonated alkaline magmatism: Variscan style Orogeny (the Ivrea Zone as natural laboratory)

The Ivrea Zone of northwest Italy exposes a section of the lower crust and lithospheric mantle deformed during the Variscan Orogeny, where a series of carbonated alkaline pipes was emplaced over a time span of ca. 40 Ma, following a crustal underplating event at ca. 288 Ma. We...

Nd isotope re-equilibration during high temperature metamorphism across an orogenic belt - Evidence from monazite and garnet

Monazite is a powerful U-Th-Pb geochronometer commonly used to determine the tempo of orogenic processes. As a light rare earth element (LREE)-enriched mineral, monazite also records key information for understanding the behavior of Sm-Nd isotope systematics during tectonotherm...
