El Chichón volcanic complex, Chiapas, México: Stages of evolution based on field mapping and 40Ar/39Ar geochronology
Paul W. Layer,Armando García-Palomo,D. Jones,José Luis Macías,José Luis Arce,Juan Carlos Seck Tuoh Mora +5 more
TL;DR: A new interpretation of the evolution of El Chichon volcano is presented in this paper based on photogeology, fieldwork, 40 Ar/39 Ar dating and chemistry of juvenile products.
Journal ArticleDOI
New age constraints for a short pulse in Ross orogen deformation triggered by East–West Gondwana suturing
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conducted 40 Ar-39 Ar analyses on magmatic phases of the Holyoake Gabbro, which cross-cuts the folded Lower Cambrian Shackleton Limestone of the Byrd Group.
Journal ArticleDOI
Paleomagnetism and age of the Archean Usushwana Complex, southern Africa
TL;DR: Paleomagnetic and 40Ar/39 Ar age data are reported from the Usushwana Complex, a layered gabbro and pyroxenite intrusive exposed in Swaziland and eastern South Africa (26.5°S, 31.0°E) as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Proterozoic Basic dykes in the Ukrainian Shield: A palaeomagnetic, geochronologic and geochemical study—The accretion of the Ukrainian Shield to Fennoscandia
TL;DR: A palaeomagnetic, geochronologic and geochemical study of basic dykes in the Ukrainian Shield has been undertaken with the purpose of testing a hypothesis for the timing of accretion of the Ukrainian shield with Fennoscandia as mentioned in this paper.

Palaeomagnetism and 40Ar/39Ar age determinations of the Ediacaran traps from the southwestern margin of the East European Craton, Ukraine: relevance to the Rodinia break-up

TL;DR: In this article, a palaeomagnetic study and age determinations have been performed on Ediacaran basalts from the northwestern Ukraine, and it has been shown that Baltica drifted together with Laurentia from an equatorial position at c. 750 Ma to occupy high southern latitude positions at c. 580 Ma, during which time period was joined to Laurentia in a similar relative position to that at 750 Ma.
