The snowball Earth hypothesis: testing the limits of global change

Paul F. Hoffman, Daniel P. Schrag · 1 Jun 2002

The gradual discovery that late Neoproterozoic ice sheets extended to sea level near the equator poses a palaeoenvironmental conundrum. Was the Earth's orbital obliquity > 60° (making the tropics colder than the poles) for 4.0 billion years following the lunar‐forming impact, or did climate cool globally for some reason to the point at which runaway…

The Variscan collage and orogeny (480–290 Ma) and the tectonic definition of the Armorica microplate: a review

Ph. Matte · 1 Apr 2001

The Variscan belt of western Europe is part of a large Palaeozoic mountain system, 1000 km broad and 8000 km long, which extended from the Caucasus to the Appalachian and Ouachita mountains of northern America at the end of the Carboniferous. This system, built between 480 and 250 Ma, resulted from the diachronic collision of…

A proposal for the kinematic modelling of W‐dipping subductions ‐ possible applications to the Tyrrhenian‐Apennines system

Carlo Doglioni · 1 Jul 1991

ABSTRACT In W‐dipping subduction zones there is a general eastward progression of the back‐arc basin‐accretionary wedge‐foredeep complex. With the forward progression, early stages of the complex are revealed by slices of upper crust and sedimentary cover abandoned to the west left floating above a new section of mantle. A major shear zone should form at…

The remarkable Re–Os chronometer in molybdenite: how and why it works

Holly J. Stein, R. J. Markey, J. W. Morgan et al. · 1 Dec 2001

The Re–Os (rhenium–osmium) chronometer applied to molybdenite (MoS 2 ) is now demonstrated to be remarkably robust, surviving intense deformation and high‐grade thermal metamorphism. Successful dating of molybdenite is dependent on proper preparation of the mineral separate and analysis of a critical quantity of molybdenite, unique to each sample, such that recognized spatial decoupling of…
