    Notes: Geological observation in the eastern end of the Himalaya shows that the Asia/India Suture is folded. Metamorphic rocks derived from India occur structurally below the suture, in the core of a regional antiform. Isotopic and fission track dating establish cooling-exhumation of rocks from c.30 km depth within the last 4 Myr. We argue that exhumation is caused by ∼ 10 mm yr-1 erosion coeval with crustal scale folding.

    Notes: This paper presents high-precision U–Pb ages and initial Hf isotopic compositions of zircon from mafic to felsic rocks of the Kohistan Arc Complex, Pakistan. Three magmatic pulses tapping geochemically different reservoirs are distinguished. Partial melting of mantle with MORB-type isotopic characteristics generated 99–92-Ma-old magmas. Plutonism around 85 Ma tapped a more fertile mantle source, most likely consisting of a 〉600-Ma-old metasomatically enriched mantle, or of mantle contaminated by an old sedimentary component; 82-Ma-old felsic peraluminous dykes have MORB-type isotopic compositions considered to be inherited from remelting earlier magmas in the deep base of the arc. The isotopic results demonstrate several and rather rapid changes in melt source region during arc development. They also show that there was subordinate continental influence and negligible importance of slab components for the Hf budget during the generation of the Kohistan Arc Complex.

    Notes: Mylonitic gneisses of the Bulgarian and Greek Rhodope were deformed under medium pressure-type metamorphism. The kinematic information contained in these gneisses shows that shear-deformation occurred during development of a nappe complex. Lithologies and metamorphic histories allow a lower (footwall) and an upper (hanging wall) terrane to be distinguished that define a crustal-scale duplex. As oceanic crust is involved, collision between two continental units with subsequent crustal thickening is inferred. The blocks would be Moesia to the north, and the Lower-Rhodope promontory to the south, which collided in the Mesozoic to early Cenozoic. The nappe complex is characterized by south to southwestward (foreland directed) piling-up and is associated with both coeval and subsequent extension. The late extension is associated with the establishment of a high temperature-low pressure metamorphic gradient and plutonism that predates, but makes a transition to, the lithospheric extension of the Aegean Arc.

    Notes: [Auszug] IN the seventeenth century, naturalists began to see structures (structume in Latin) in rocks. These structume were considered to be primary features, acquired while rock layers were being deposited, but the term was quickly extended to deformation features that nearly 200 years later were ...

    Notes: [Auszug] There is a surrealist French song that laments the impossible love between a fish and a bird. It is a poetic stance reflecting that until recently the ‘material’ earth and the ‘immaterial’ atmosphere were thought to be worlds even more estranged than scientific orthodoxy ...

    Notes: [Auszug] The Lhasa- Khatmandu road, which runs along a deeply-eroded precipice, displays a spectacular section of the Main Central Sheet (Fig. 1). The uppermost rock unit comprises 3,000-4,000 m of dark metapelites interlayered with quartzites, calcschists and marbles, one to several tens of metres thick ...
