In the present study, we unveil real significance of mylonitic reworking polymetamorphic crystalline basement in Serre Massif Calabria (Southern Italy). We use a multidisciplinary approach to comprehend structural, microstructural and petrologic changes that occurred along a, so far, not much considered shear zone affecting Variscan lower crustal rocks. It was never before studied detail, altho...

Abstract Correct interpretation of soft-bodied fossils relies on a thorough understanding their taphonomy. While the focus has often been primary roles decay and early diagenesis, impacts deeper burial metamorphism fossil preservation are less well understood. We document sequence late-stage mineral replacements in panarthropod from Sirius Passet Lagerstätte (North Greenland), an important Camb...

The importance of topography generated by Eocene Eurekan deformation as a sediment source for sandstones deposited on the western Barents Shelf margin is evaluated through provenance study conducted wellbore materials retrieved from Spitsbergen and Vestbakken Volcanic Province Sørvestsnaget Basin in southwest Sea. A variety complementary techniques record change across Paleocene-Eocene boundary...

The hinterland of the Cenozoic Northern Apennines fold-and-thrust belt exposes metamorphic roots chain, vestiges subduction-related tectono-metamorphic evolution that led to buildup Alpine orogeny in Mediterranean region. Like other peri-Mediterranean belts, Palaeozoic continental basement is still poorly constrained, hampering full understanding their orogenic evolution. We report first compre...

Collisional orogens commonly include mono-metamorphic and poly-metamorphic units, their different evolution can be difficult to recognize reconcile. The Theodul Glacier Unit (TGU) in the Western Alps consists of an association metasedimentary metamafic rocks embedded within Zermatt-Saas tectonic unit. In spite recent petrological studies, it remains unclear whether these underwent one or multip...
