This study presents an updated interpretation of geological data collected between 1984 and 2022. The area under consideration holds significant regional importance as it is located between the Internal Nappe Zone (INZ) and the Regional Mylonitic Com...
Sardinia (Italy) represents one of the most comprehensive cross-sections of the Variscan orogen. The metamorphic and structural complexity characterizing its axial zone still presents many unresolved issues in the current state of knowledge. The data...
Mylonitic mantle peridotites exposed at the Tosa Megamullion in the Shikoku Basin, Philippine Sea, provide direct evidence for amagmatic ductile shear deformation of the upper mantle beneath a back-arc spreading center. Oceanic core complexes (OCCs),...
Magnetotelluric models spanning the Pacific–Australian Plate boundary in New Zealand’s South Island indicate a localized zone of low electrical resistivity that is spatially coincident with the ductile mid-crustal part of the Alpine Fault...
The NE- to E-trending ductile shear zones are well-exposed in the Wulashan–Daqingshan Complex of the Khondalite Belt, an Orosirian collisional orogen in the northwestern North China Craton. However, the timing of the shear zone activity remains...
Orogen-parallel ductile shear zones are conspicuous structures in the Khondalite Belt, but the timing of shearing remains poorly understood. Here, we present field-based structural and zircon U-Pb geochronological studies on the newly discovered Qian...
In the western part of the Sierra de los Filabres area, there are fine-grained metamorphic rock bands, showing a field aspect simitar to slates, as previously described in the geological literature of the studied region. They are variable in thicknes...
The Varnous Mt. area in the northern Pelagonian Nappe is characterized by the intrusion of an Early Permian pluton, with its tectonic setting and igneous petrology well constrained in earlier studies. The metamorphic basement rocks warrant further de...
The cassiterite–sulfide mineralization occurs within quartz veins and greisenized Precambrian Older Granite around the Gindi Akwati region at the Ropp complex’s western boundary, north-central Nigeria. The intrusion of Jurassic Younger gr...
In response to orogenic cycles, the ductile shear zone records a complex crustal deformation history. In this study, we conducted a microstructural analysis of two NW–SE trending ductile shear zones (Deokjeok Shear Zone (DSZ) and Soya Shear Zon...
The Qinshui Basin is located in the southeast of Shanxi Province, China. It is one of the most abundant coal resources from Permo-Carboniferous North China. It is rich in coal and coalbed methane resources. However, the accumulation of coalbed methan...
The Aït Abdellah copper deposit in the Bou Azzer-El Graara inlier of the Moroccan Anti-Atlas provides key insights into structurally and lithologically controlled mineralization in Precambrian terranes. The deposit is hosted in feldspathic sands...
