ABSTRACT We studied the stratigraphy, composition, and paleomagnetic properties of lateritic weathering profiles Permian age from northern Iran western Karakoram, Pakistan. A limited set samples deemed representative yielded stable low-inclination components carried essentially by hematite chemical origin isolated in massive, fine-grained, homogeneous ferricrete facies. These laterites originated at equatorial paleolatitudes characterized intense processes under warm humid climatic...

India's northward flight and collision with Asia was a major driver of global tectonics in the Cenozoic and, we argue, atmospheric CO 2 concentration ( p ) thus climate. Subduction Tethyan oceanic crust carpet carbonate-rich pelagic sediments deposited during transit beneath high-productivity equatorial belt resulted component flux delivery to atmosphere capable maintain high levels warm climate conditions until decarbonation factory shut down Greater India at Early Eocene climatic optimum...
Abstract New Late Ordovician and Triassic palaeomagnetic data from Iran are presented. These data, in conjunction with the literature, provide insights on drift history of as part Cimmeria during Ordovician–Triassic. A robust agreement poles West Gondwana is observed for Ordovician–earliest Carboniferous, indicating that was time. Data Permian–early Early indicate resided subequatorial palaeolatitudes, clearly disengaged parental Gondwanan margin southern hemisphere. Since late Triassic, has...
Abstract Different versions of a composite apparent polar wander (APW) path variably selected global poles assembled and averaged in North American coordinates using plate reconstructions show either smooth progression or large (∼30°) gap mean paleopoles the Late Jurassic, between about 160 145 Ma. In an effort to further examine this issue, we sampled accessible outcrops/subcrops kimberlites associated with high‐precision U‐Pb perovskite ages Timiskaming area Ontario, Canada. The 154.9 ±...
Abstract. The small reservoir of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere (pCO2) that modulates climate through greenhouse effect reflects a delicate balance between large fluxes sources and sinks. major long-term source CO2 is global outgassing from sea-floor spreading, subduction, hotspot activity, metamorphism; ultimate sink weathering continental silicates deposition carbonates. Most cycle models are driven by changes flux scaled to variable rates ocean floor production, but production may not...
Abstract Studies of Triassic magnetostratigraphy began in the 1960s, with focus on poorly fossilferous nonmarine red-beds. Construction geomagnetic polarity timescale was not consolidated until 1990s, when access to magnetometers sufficient sensitivity became widely available measure specimens from marine successions. The biostratigraphically-calibrated for Lower is currently largely based ammonoid zonations Boreal Exceptions are Permian–Triassic and Olenekian–Anisian boundaries, which have...
Abstract New structural, sedimentological, petrological and palaeomagnetic data collected in the region of Nakhlak–Anarak provide important constraints on Cimmerian evolution Central Iran. The Olenekian–Upper Ladinian succession Nakhlak was deposited a forearc setting, records exhumation erosion an orogenic wedge, possibly located present-day Anarak region. Triassic deformed after times shows south-vergent folds thrusts unconformably covered by Upper Cretaceous limestones following Late...
