  Widespread Late Neoarchean Reworking of Meso- to Paleoarchean Continental Crust in the Anshan-Benxi Area, North China Craton, as Documented by U-Pb-Nd-Hf-O Isotopes
  Yusheng WanMingzhu MaChunyan DongHangqiang XieShiwen XiePeng RenDunyi Liu

  We present an integrated study of zircon U-Pb dating and O-Hf isotopic analyses combined with whole-rock geochemistry and Nd isotopic systematics on widespread late Neoarchean syenogranites (Qidashan Pluton) and other...

  Generation of Cenozoic Granitoids in Hokkaido (Japan): Constraints From Zircon Geochronology, Sr-Nd-Hf Isotopic and Geochemical Analyses, and Implications for Crustal Growth
  Bor-ming JahnMasako UsukiTadashi UsukiSun-Lin Chung

  The island of Hokkaido is a young accretionary terrane, basically built with a Jurassic accretionary complex and Cretaceous arc in the west (= NE Japan arc terrane), a Cretaceous-Paleogene forearc...

  Mesozoic Intraplate Granitic Magmatism in the Altai Accretionary Orogen, NW China: Implications for the Orogenic Architecture and Crustal Growth
  Tao WangBor-ming JahnVictor P. KovachYing TongSimon A. WildeDa-wei HongShan LiEkaterina B. Salnikova

  The Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB) is the world9s largest Phanerozoic accretionary orogen and is the most important site for juvenile crustal growth in the Phanerozoic. In this work, we...

  Sediment Routing System Evolution Within a Diachronously Uplifting Orogen: Insights From Detrital Zircon Thermochronological Analyses From the South-Central Pyrenees
  A. L. WhitchurchA. CarterH. D. SinclairR. A. DullerA. C. WhittakerP. A. Allen

  The Pyrenees represents an orogen that developed diachronously, from east to west, between the Late Cretaceous and Miocene. Here, we use detrital zircon fission-track thermochronological analyses and U-Pb geochronology, interpreted...

  Zircon Ages, Sr-Nd-Hf Isotopic Compositions, and Geochemistry of Granitoids Associated With the Northern Ophiolite Mélange of Central Cuba: Tectonic Implication for Late Cretaceous Magmatism in the Northwestern Caribbean
  Yamirka Rojas-AgramonteAlfred KrönerAntonio García-CascoTony KempErnst HegnerMireya PérezMatthias BarthDunyi LiuAlain Fonseca-Montero

  The geology of Cuba is representative of the orogenic belt fringing the northwesternmost margin of the Caribbean plate. It is characterized by a tectonic collage made up of a continental...

  Eoarchean Ophiolites? New Evidence for the Debate on the Isua Supracrustal Belt, Southern West Greenland
  Clark R. L. FriendAllen P. Nutman

  The Eoarchean Isua supracrustal belt (Greenland) comprises two distinct packages that have been dated at ca. 3800 Ma and 3700 Ma. Both packages consist of strongly deformed, pillow lavas and...
