Journal ArticleDOI
Burial rates during prograde metamorphism of an ultra-high-pressure terrane: an example from Lago di Cignana, western Alps, Italy
Thomas J. Lapen,Clark M. Johnson,Lukas P. Baumgartner,Nancy J. Mahlen,Brian L. Beard,Jeffrey M. Amato +5 more
TL;DR: Amato et al. as mentioned in this paper reported a Lu-Hf garnet-omphacite-whole-rock isochron age of 48.8±2.1 Ma from the Zermatt-Saas ophiolite from Lago di Cignana, Italy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid exhumation of the Zermatt-Saas ophiolite deduced from high-precision SmNd and RbSr geochronology
TL;DR: In this article, an exceptionally well-constrained Sm−Nd isotope data from garnets in ultrahigh pressure (coesite-bearing) eclogite from the Western Alps were obtained to determine the age of peak metamorphism and exhumation rates of deeply buried oceanic crust in the Zermatt-Saas ophiolite complex.
Journal ArticleDOI
New insights into Arctic paleogeography and tectonics from U-Pb detrital zircon geochronology
Elizabeth L. Miller,Jaime Toro,George E. Gehrels,Jeffrey M. Amato,Andrei V. Prokopiev,M. I. Tuchkova,V. V. Akinin,Trevor A. Dumitru,Thomas E. Moore,Michael P. Cecile +9 more
TL;DR: The most popular plate tectonic model for the origin of the Amerasian Basin involves counterclockwise rotation of the Arctic Alaska-Chukotka microplate away from the Canadian Arctic margin this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Late Proterozoic–Paleozoic evolution of the Arctic Alaska–Chukotka terrane based on U-Pb igneous and detrital zircon ages: Implications for Neoproterozoic paleogeographic reconstructions
Jeffrey M. Amato,Jaime Toro,Elizabeth L. Miller,George E. Gehrels,G. Lang Farmer,Eric S. Gottlieb,Alison B. Till +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, U-Pb zircon geochronology on deformed igneous rocks reveals a previously unknown intermediate-felsic volcanic event at 870 Ma, coeval with rift-related magmatism associated with early breakup of eastern Rodinia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Paleozoic rocks of northern Chukotka Peninsula, Russian Far East: Implications for the tectonics of the Arctic region
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used trace element geochemistry, Nd isotopic data, and textural evidence suggest that the Tanatap tuffs are differentiated calc-alkaline volcanic rocks possibly derived from a magmatic arc.
