Oriented inclusions of magnetite in clinopyroxene: Source of stable remanent magnetization in gabbros of the Messum Complex, Namibia
Paul R. Renne,Paul R. Renne,Gary R. Scott,Jonathan M. G. Glen,Jonathan M. G. Glen,Joshua M. Feinberg +5 more
TL;DR: The magnetite inclusions in clinopyroxenes are the dominant source of highly stable remanent magnetization in gabbros of the Early Cretaceous Messum Complex, Namibia as discussed by the authors.
Book ChapterDOI

TL;DR: The Gona Paleoanthropological research project (GPRP) area in eastcentral Ethiopia spans most of the last ~6.4 m.y.p. as mentioned in this paper and is the longest and most complete paleoenvironmental and human fossil archives in East Africa.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, structural, petrologic, and geochronologic data from a 40 km structural transect reveals that the Sierra de Pie de Palo preserves a middle to lower crustal ductile thrust complex consisting of individual structural units and not an intact ophiolite and cover sequence.
Journal ArticleDOI
The problem of inherited 40Ar* in dating impact glass by the 40Ar/39Ar method: Evidence from the Tswaing impact crater (South Africa)
TL;DR: The Tswaing meteorite impact crater is a 1.13-km diameter structure located in the 2.05-Ga Nebo granite of the Bushveld Complex.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, a new stratigraphy for bimodal Oligocene flood volcanism that forms the volcanic plateau of northern Yemen is presented based on detailed field observations, petrography and geochemical correlations.
