Journal ArticleDOI
Geochronology of fluid-induced eclogite and amphibolite facies metamorphic reactions in a subduction–collision system, Bergen Arcs, Norway
TL;DR: Rb-Sr multimineral isochron data for metamorphic veins allow to date separate increments of the mineral reaction history of polymetamorphic terranes as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diffusion versus recrystallization processes in Rb-Sr geochronology : Isotopic relics in eclogite facies rocks, Western Gneiss Region, Norway
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that texturally unequilibrated high grade high-grade rocks which experienced no mineral reactions and remained devoid of free fluids during exhumation, like granulites or eclogites, are likely to represent isotopic relics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Retention of Precambrian Rb/Sr phlogopite ages through Caledonian eclogite facies metamorphism, Bergen Arc Complex, W-Norway
TL;DR: The Lindas Nappe, Caledonides W-Norway was affected by two major tectonometamorphic events: a Precambrian granulite facies event at T=800-900°C, P 15 kbar) and localized amphibolite facia reworking as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Crystallization and very rapid exhumation of the youngest Alpine eclogites (Tauern Window, Eastern Alps) from Rb/Sr mineral assemblage analysis
TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate the unique potential of Rb/Sr assemblage assemblages for precise dating of both eclogite facies and post-eclogitic events, thus for precisely constraining exhumation rates of deep-seated rocks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coeval high-pressure metamorphism, thrusting, strike-slip, and extensional shearing in the Tauern Window, Eastern Alps
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that all major structures in the Tauern Window, resulting from strong N-S lithospheric shortening and simultaneous minor E-W extension, began developing coevally with high pressure metamorphism in the Eclogite Zone of the Eastern Alps, and that most of the regional deformation at ∼32-30 Ma is today found at the periphery of the window and in the adjacent Austroalpine units.
