Monazite is a light rare earth element (LREE)-bearing phosphate mineral that is present in a
wide variety of rock types, has an extremely variable composition reflecting host rock …

High-temperature metamorphic rocks are the result of numerous chemical and physical
processes that occur during a potentially long-lived thermal evolution. These rocks chart the …

In general, Archean rocks exhibit rather ordinary moderate-P-high-T facies series
metamorphism; neither blueschists nor any record of deep continental subduction and return …

Recent lithological, metamorphic and geochronological studies show that the basement of
the North China Craton (NCC) formed by collision of two discrete Archean to …

Abstract Monazite grains from Greater Himalayan Sequence gneisses, Langtang valley,
Nepal, were chemically mapped and then dated in situ via Th–Pb ion‐microprobe analysis …

In the Himalayan region of Sikkim, the well-developed inverted metamorphic sequence of
the Main Central Thrust (MCT) zone is folded, thus exposing several transects through the …

Microprobe monazite dating has been increasingly used to constrain the timing of
deformation and metamorphism because of the potential to date very small monazite …

Abstract Pressure-temperature-time (PTt) conditions of metamorphism have been
determined in the Annapurna region of central Nepal that place new constraints on the …

The Eastern Ghats Belt of peninsular India exposes the deeply eroded high-grade parts of a
composite orogenic belt that, including the Rayner Complex in Antarctica, once formed an …

The growth and dissolution behaviour of detrital, metamorphic and magmatic monazite and
zircon during granulite-facies anatexis in pelitic and psammo-pelitic granulites and in …
