Incorporating titanite geochronology and trace geochemistry with more commonly used techniques (e.g., zircon and monazite petrochronology) extends our ability to resolve the complete history of large-scale orogenic terranes.doi:10.1016/j.chemgeo.2018.11.004Olierook, Hugo K.

This part of Alabama formed in the shallow waters that have covered most of the central continent throughout geologic history. The Tuscaloosa Group gives way to the compressed, folded rocks of the southernmost Appalachian Mountains to the northeast and the flat-lying limestones of the interior ba...
Not to be confused with cubic zirconia, a synthesized alternative to diamonds,zirconis a naturally-occuring mineral (the transparent variety is considered a semi-precious gemstone). A zircon crystal discovered in Australia is currently theoldest known fragment of early Earth- about4.375 billion ...
These rock types reflect a history of high-grade metamorphism and plutonic intrusions, indicative of a dynamic tectonic past (Obaje 2009). The tectonic framework of the region has been influenced by the Pan-African orogeny, a significant tectonic event occurring between 600 and 500 million years ...
This data is valuable in understanding of the sample's microstructure and processing history, including knowledge of the prior texture of parent phases at elevated temperature; the storage and residual deformation after mechanical testing; the population of various m...

According to Dr Kuiper, this would usher in a new generation ofGeological Time Scale(GTS) measurements that will, in turn, yield fresh insights into critical events during the Earth's history. Secondo la dottoressa Kuiper, tali progressi condurranno a una nuova generazione di misurazioni della...
To examine the history of Earth, one must discard most familiar ideas about time. Instead of thinking in terms of years, centuries, or even millennia, the most basic unit is a million years, and even that is rather small when compared with the four eons into which geologic time is ...
We are inspired by the history of humans sitting still, observing, sensing, thinking, and creating in relation to the vast material realities that shape our lives intimately—while using nothing more or less than their brains/bodies/minds. Cosmos Night: Flood of Light aims to be an occasion...
It used to be that the geologic time scale was, dare I say, carved in stone. The Cambrian, Ordovician, Silurian and so on marched in their rigorous order, and that's all we needed to know. The exact dates involved were hardly important, since the assignment of an age relied only on ...
