The Himalayan syntaxes are exceptionally dynamic landscapes characterized by high-relief topography and some of the most rapid focused crustal exhumation on Earth. In eastern syntaxis, it has been hypothesized that thermo-mechanical feedbacks between erosion Yarlung River growth a crustal-scale antiform may have locally sustained rates exceeding 5 km/m.y. during late Pliocene Pleistocene. However, young (younger than 3 Ma) cooling histories from syntaxial bedrock samples restrict...

The shale‐to‐slate transition preserved in the Ordovician Martinsburg Formation at Lehigh Water Gap, Pennsylvania, provides an opportunity to study relationship between magnetic anisotropy fabrics and development of slaty cleavage. Our previous work has indicated that susceptibility (AMS) does not record changes finite strain associated with cleavage these rocks but instead measures degree dissolution new growth chlorite. Additional AMS data presented this paper lend further support...
Abstract Magnetostratigraphy is best known as a technique that employs correlation among different stratigraphic sections using the magnetic directions define geomagnetic polarity reversals marker-horizons. The ages of provide common tie points sections, allowing accurate time correlation. Recently, magnetostratigraphy has acquired broader meaning, now referring to many types measurements within sequence. Many these and age control not only for older younger boundaries interval, but also...
Low temperature magnetic techniques provide useful tools to detect the presence of magnetite and pyrrhotite in sediments through identification their low transitions, determine amount ultrafine‐grained (superparamagnetic) material sediments, can potentially certain types magnetotactic bacteria. Application these experiments nannofossil chalks from beneath Barbados accretionary prism led some unusual results, which are attributed siderite. Thermal demagnetization low‐temperature remanence...
We present detrital mineral and paleomagnetic data from the Gold Beach terrane of southwestern Oregon, USA, that supports its large-magnitude northward translation along North American margin in Late Cretaceous. Detrital zircon titanite were gathered Jurassic−Late Cretaceous aged sandstones indicate a shift sediment sources over time. Zircon Hf isotopes Jurassic grains (200−144 Ma) yield positive εHf(i) values (+15 to +6), whereas (100−90 have wide range spanning 20 epsilon units (+11 −12)....

Fe‐oxide and Fe‐sulfide trace minerals in sediments sedimentary rocks provide proxy records of biogeochemical processes, record past variations the geomagnetic field, can serve as proxies for climatic variations. An important class these Fe‐oxides is produced by bacteria.
