The post‐Carboniferous crustal evolution of the German Continental Deep Drilling Program (KTB) area, as summarized in this paper, could not be predicted from surface observations: deep drilling was essential for its revelation. most conspicuous and unexpected feature discovered drill hole is absence marked gradients with respect to pre‐Carboniferous record. There are no depth‐related differences K‐Ar cooling ages hornblende white mica, petrology or lithology. All metamorphic rocks...
We summarize the available geological information on Sierra Maestra Mountains in southeastern Cuba and report new zircon fission track biotite Ar-Ar ages for this region. Two different genetically unrelated volcanic arc sequences occur Maestra, one Cretaceous age (pre-Maastrichtian) restricted to a few outcrops southern coast, other Palaeogene age, forming main expression of mountain range. These two are overlain by middle late Eocene siliciclastic, carbonatic terrigenous rocks as well...
We have investigated the low‐temperature history of pre‐Neogene basement areas adjacent to western extension North Anatolian Fault zone (NAFZ) by apatite fission track thermochronology 33 samples taken from Marmara island, Kapidag peninsula (both in Sea Marmara), Samothrake and Chalkidike Aegean region). Together with already published data 30 other sampling localities region, these (63 total) been evaluated mainly regard transitional period Mesohellenic orogeny (Eocene‐Oligocene)...
43 samples from Aegean islands, Thessaly, Mt.Ossa and Pelion were investigated by apatite fi ssion-track thermochronology.The measured cooling ages of the Cyclades Ikaria have a distinct frequency maximum between 7 11 Ma (Tortonian, Late Miocene) which was time strong crustal extension in south back-arc position.These also refl ect stage primary peneplanation with fast denudation intensive weathering under warm humid conditions.The subsequent exhumation peneplainʼs basal relief occurred...
Abstract Resolving the Mesozoic and Cenozoic palaeogeography geomorphologic development of outcropping Variscan basement is a pre-condition for understanding central European geodynamics. For our study, we have applied apatite fission-track (AFT) (U–Th)/He (AHe) thermochronology to surface rocks southeastern Bohemian Massif. 46 samples were examined by AFT method. Additional AHe dating was 8 them. The ages range from 251 ± 60.2 4.8 Ma. 25 525 Ma with rather high intra-sample scatter. On...
Chromatographic interaction between infiltrating solutions of racemic mixtures enantiomers and enantiomorphic minerals with chiral excess has been proposed as a scenario for the emergence biomolecular homochirality. Enantiomer separation is supposed to be produced by different partition coefficients both regard crystal faces or walls capillary tubes in mineral. Besides quartz, nepheline only common magmatic mineral symmetry. It crystallizes from SiO2-undersaturated melts low viscosity...
Homochiral proteins orchestrate biological functions throughout all domains of life, but the origin uniform l-stereochemistry amino acids remains unknown. Here, we describe enantioselective adsorption experiments racemic alanine and leucine onto homochiral d- l-quartz as a possible mechanism for abiotic emergence homochirality. Substantial racemate resolution with enantiomeric excesses up to 55% are demonstrated potentially occur in interstitial pores, along grain boundaries or small...
