Titanite (CaTiSiO5) is a common mineral in calc-silicates, metamorphosed igneous rocks,
and calc-alkaline plutons. The mineral was first named by Martin Klaproth in 1795 for its high …

Texture encompasses 'the overall appearance a rock has because of the size, shape, and
arrangement of its constituent mineral grains'. Textural observations are crucial for …

Shear zones play a major role in the deformation of the crust at a variety of scales, as
expressions of strain localization during orogeny and rifting, and also as reactivated …

Titanite U–Pb geochronology is a promising tool to date high-temperature tectonic
processes, but the extent to and mechanisms by which recrystallization resets titanite U–Pb …

At the core of petrochronology is the relationship between geochronology and the
petrological evolution of major mineral assemblages. The focus of this chapter is on …

Petrochronology—the interpretation of isotopic dates with complementary elemental data—
requires understanding the relationship between trace elements in chronometers and the …

The inclusion mineralogy of 1450 zircons over 4billion years in age from the Jack Hills,
Western Australia, was characterized for composition and phase assemblage. Results …

Titanite is a common accessory mineral that is useful in determining both age (U-Pb
isotopes) and pressure-temperature (P–T) conditions (trace-element composition: Zr, rare …

In this contribution, we analyzed a pair of mafic samples collected from a recently identified
shear zone and its proximal footwall from the Manicouagan Imbricate Zone (MIZ) of the …

This review presents an objective account of metamorphic, microstructural and
geochronological studies in the Greater Himalayan Sequence (GHS) and adjacent units in …
