Early Cambrian high pressure/low temperature metamorphism in the southeastern Tarim craton in response to circum-Gondwana cold subduction

TL;DR: In this article , the authors investigated the early Cambrian metamorphism of the Altyn Tagh metamorphic rocks in the southeastern Tarim craton and found that these metamorphics underwent rapid decompression starting at P-T conditions of <495 °C and <9.6 kbar during exhumation.

Evolution of Olivine Fabrics During Deep Subduction and Exhumation of Continental Crust: Insights From the Yinggelisayi Garnet Lherzolite, South Altyn, NW China

TL;DR: In this article , the olivine fabrics in ultramafic rocks have been widely used to discuss past tectonic settings, given that the OIVINE fabrics vary with pressure, temperature and water content.

Partial melting of subducted continental crust during the exhumation: Insights from Palaeozoic granitic rocks in South Altyn, western China

TL;DR: In this paper , four granitic rocks were collected from Bashenwake located in eastern South Altyn (SA) and the ages of the garnet-bearing alkali-feldspar granite (GAFG), garnetbearing granitic gneiss (GGG), alkyl-felspar granite and syenogranite (SG) are 458.0 ± 4.9 Ma, respectively.

A general equation for estimating Fe3+ concentrations in ferromagnesian silicates and oxides from microprobe analyses, using stoichiometric criteria

TL;DR: In this article, a simple general equation is presented for estimating the Fe 3 § concentrations in ferromagnesian oxide and silicate minerals from microprobe analyses, assuming that iron is the only element present with variable valency.
