Abstract The Iapetus Ocean opened during the fission of the supercontinent Rodinia, from
the breakup of three of its core continental constituents: Laurentia, Baltica and Amazonia …

Recent advances in laser ablation reaction-cell mass spectrometry have opened the
possibility for rapid and efficient Lu-Hf age dating of a variety of minerals. Of particular …

Abstract The Caledonides of Britain and Ireland are one of the most intensively studied
orogenic belts in the world. This review considers all the tectonic events associated with the …

We investigated some of the sampling and mineral separation biases that affect the
accuracy of detrital zircon provenance studies. The study has been carried on a natural …

The invention of a robust and accurate sea-going chronometer transformed navigation in the
mid-eighteenth century. The calibration of longitude against the prime meridian at …

The Pulo do Lobo Zone, which crops out immediately north of the allochthonous South
Portuguese Zone in southern Iberia, is classically interpreted as a polydeformed …

Accessory minerals contain a robust and accessible record of magma evolution. However,
they may reflect relatively late-stage conditions in the history of the host magmas. In the …

Sanukitoids represent a volumetrically minor but important series of Neoarchean granitoids
enriched in large-ion lithophile elements (eg, Ba, Sr, and light rare earth elements), and with …

Monazite–xenotime thermometry is a potentially powerful technique for understanding the
evolution of Earth systems. While a rich set of experimental and empirical datasets are …

Neoproterozoic siliciclastic-dominated sequences are widespread along the eastern margin
of Laurentia and are related to rifting associated with the breakout of Laurentia from the …
