U-Th-Pb geochronology of the Coast Mountains batholith in north-coastal British Columbia: Constraints on age and tectonic evolution
George E. Gehrels,Margaret E. Rusmore,Glenn J. Woodsworth,Maria Luisa Crawford,Christopher L. Andronicos,Lincoln S. Hollister,J. Patchett,Mihai N. Ducea,Robert F. Butler,Keith A. Klepeis,Cameron Davidson,Richard M. Friedman,James W. Haggart,B.J. Mahoney,William A. Crawford,David M. Pearson,James D. Girardi +16 more
TL;DR: In this article, U-Pb geochronologic analysis of the Coast Mountains batholith in north-coastal British Columbia has been conducted, and the ages of metamorphic zircon and 59 titanite ages have been found to constrain the igneous and cooling history of this region.
Journal ArticleDOI
Strain partitioning in an obliquely convergent orogen, plutonism, and synorogenic collapse: Coast Mountains Batholith, British Columbia, Canada
Christopher L. Andronicos,Christopher L. Andronicos,Dominique Chardon,Dominique Chardon,Lincoln S. Hollister,George E. Gehrels,Glenn J. Woodsworth +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the crustal structure of the Coast Mountains batholith between 54° and 55°N, within the Canadian Cordillera, with emphasis on emplacement of the 7 km thick Kasiks sill complex (KSC).
Journal ArticleDOI
Natural quasicrystal with decagonal symmetry
Luca Bindi,Nan Yao,Chaney Lin,Lincoln S. Hollister,Christopher L. Andronicos,V. V. Distler,Michael P. Eddy,Alexander Kostin,Valery Kryachko,Glenn J. MacPherson,William Steinhardt,Marina A. Yudovskaya,Paul J. Steinhardt +12 more
TL;DR: The first occurrence of a natural quasicrystal with decagonal symmetry, with composition Al71Ni24Fe5, was discovered in the Khatyrka meteorite, a recently described CV3 carbonaceous chondrite, and raises new questions regarding conditions that can be achieved in the early solar nebula.
Journal ArticleDOI
Large‐scale transpressive shear zone patterns and displacements within magmatic arcs: The Coast Plutonic Complex, British Columbia
TL;DR: A compilation of fabric data, published isotopic ages, and new structural observations shows that the western Coast Plutonic complex was affected by subvertical, orogen-parallel, crustal-scale shear zones as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Near-isothermal conditions in the middle and lower crust induced by melt migration
TL;DR: These models show that long-lived plutonism results in a quasi-steady-state geotherm with a rapid temperature increase in the upper crust and nearly isothermal conditions in the middle and lower crust, setting the stage for gravitational collapse, exhumation and isothermal decompression after the onset ofplutonism.
