The Jura-Cretaceous Peninsular Ranges batholith (PRb) of southern and Baja California is a remarkable example of a zoned batholith containing distinct oceanic (western) and continental (eastern) basements. The transition between these basements is marked by a crustal-scale boundary along which distinct volcanosedimentary, structural, and metamorphic histories evolved during Mesozoic orogenesis....

The Narusongduo Pb-Zn deposit is located at the northern boundary of Luobadui-Milashan fault zone (LMF) in central Tibet and spatially associated with Linzizong volcanic succession (LVS). Our study indicates that regional structural setting was formed by two-stage tectonic events. first stage, spanning from late Mesozoic to early Paleocene, characterized significant N-S crustal shortening Cordi...

The North China Craton (NCC) experienced strong destruction (i.e., decratonization) during the Mesozoic, which triggered intensive magmatism, tectonism and thermal events formed large-scale gold other metal deposits in eastern part of craton. However, how decratonization controls formation distribution is not very clear. Based on a large number published data new results, this paper systematica...

Abstract The Upper Cretaceous Fort Crittenden Formation exposed in the Santa Rita and Huachuca Mountains of southeastern Arizona is a syntectonic deposit that has been associated with Laramide tectonic activity. However, spatio-temporal relationships among sedimentation, magmatism, basement exhumation, possible flat slab-related processes southern region remain poorly understood. Age controls f...

[1] Two fore‐arc magmatic belts exist in Kodiak Island, the granitic Kodiak batholith and the basaltic trenchward belt. Both are part of the 2100 km long Sanak‐Baranof belt, interpreted to result from trench‐ridge‐trench (T‐R‐T) triple‐junction migration. In this hypothesis, trenchward belt basaltic rocks formed as the spreading ridge first entered the accretionary prism, and the larger Kodiak ...
