Journal ArticleDOI

Arc-rift transition volcanism in the Puertecitos Volcanic Province, northeastern Baja California, Mexico

TL;DR: The Neogene Puertecitos Volcanic Province of northeastern Baja California records a transition from arc-related volcanic activity to rift volcanism associated with opening of the Gulf of California.
Journal ArticleDOI

Epitaxial relationships of clinopyroxene-hosted magnetite determined using electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) technique

TL;DR: In this paper, electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) was used to determine the epitaxial relationships of exsolved laths of magnetite in clinopyroxenes from three sampling sites in the Cretaceous Messum Complex of Namibia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Archaeological age constraints from extrusion ages of obsidian: Examples from the Middle Awash, Ethiopia

TL;DR: In this article, the mass-dependent kinetic isotope fractionation during or subsequent to quenching of volcanic glasses was used to determine the initial 40Ar:39Ar:36Ar (and therefore little spread on isochrons).
Journal ArticleDOI

40Ar/39Ar and U-Pb evidence for late proterozoic (Grenville-age) continental crust in north-central Cuba and regional tectonic implications

TL;DR: Renne et al. as discussed by the authors used radio-isotopic data from the Socorro Complex to establish unambiguously a Late Proterozoic age for high-grade metamorphism.
