Scouting craton’s edge in paleo-Pacific Gondwana (2008)

Carol A. Finn, John W. Goodge, Detlef Damaske, C. Mark Fanning

The geology of the ice-covered interior of the East Antarctic shield is completely unknown; inferences about its composition and history are based on extrapolating scant outcrops from the coast...

Isotopic evidence for the diversity of late Quaternary loess in Nebraska: Glaciogenic and nonglaciogenic sources (2008)

Aleinikoff, John N, Muhs, Daniel R, Bettis III, E. Arthur, Johnson, William C, Fanning, C. Mark, Benton, Rachel

Pb isotope compositions of detrital K-feldspars and U-Pb ages of detrital zircons are used as indicators for determining the sources of Peoria Loess deposited during the last glacial period (late...

Detrital zircon ages in Neoproterozoic to Ordovician siliciclastic rocks, northeastern Australia: implications for the tectonic history of the East Gondwana continental margin (2007)

Fergusson, Christopher L., Henderson, Robert A., Fanning, C. Mark, Withnall, Ian W.

U–Pb detrital zircon ages in variably metamorphosed, dominantly fine-grained clastic successions are used in northeastern Australia to identify two major successions along the East Gondwana margin....

Recrystallisation textures in zircons generated by ocean-floor and eclogite facies metamorphism: a cathodoluminescence and U-Pb SHRIMP study with constraints from REE elements. (2005)

Puga, E., Fanning, C. Mark, Nieto, José Miguel, Díaz De Federico, Antonio

Eclogites formed during the Eo-alpine metamorphic event are common within the ophiolitic unit of the Mulhacén complex, which forms part of the Betic Cordillera in southeastern Spain. A detailed...

Electron-microprobe dating as a tool for determining the closure of Th-U-Pb systems in migmatitic monazites. (2005)

Cocherie, Alain, Be Mezeme, Eugène, Legendre, Olivier, Fanning, C. Mark, Faure, Michel, Rossi, Philippe

High spatial resolution dating of monazite by the electron-probe microanalyzer (EPMA) enables systematic and detailed studies of small minerals. Like zircon, monazite records the complex history...

Age determination of the lower oceanic crust at ODP Hole 176-735B (2004)

John, Barbara E, Foster, David A, Murphy, John M, Cheadle, Michael J, Baines, A Graham, Fanning, C Mark, ...

The cooling history and therefore thermal structure of oceanic lithosphere in slow-spreading environments is, to date, poorly constrained. Application of thermochronometric techniques to rocks from...

Late Quaternary loess in northeastern Colorado: Part II—Pb isotopic evidence for the variability of loess sources (1999)

Aleinikoff, John N, Muhs, Daniel R, Sauer, Rebecca R, Fanning, C. Mark

A new application of the Pb isotopic tracer technique has been used to determine the relative importance of different silt sources for late Wisconsin loess in the central Great Plains of eastern...

Generation of Tonalite and Trondhjemite by Subvolcanic Fractionation and Partial Melting in the Zarza Intrusive Complex, Western Peninsular Ranges Batholith, Northwestern Mexico (1999)

Tate, Marcus C., Norman, Marc D., Johnson, Scott E., Fanning, C. Mark, Anderson, J. Lawford

The Early Cretaceous (∼115 Ma) Zarza Intrusive Complex is a small ( 17 wt %, Sr < 463 ppm) formed at subvolcanic depths 30% plagioclase accumulation from andesitic magma batches now preserved as...

A Crustal Progenitor for the Intrusive Anorthosite--Charnockite Kindred of the Cupriferous Koperberg Suite, O'okiep District, Namaqualand, South Africa; New Isotope Data for the Country Rocks and the Intrusives (1995)

CLIFFORD, TOM N., BARTON, ERIKA S., RETIEF, EDWARD A., REX, DAVID C., FANNING, C. MARK

The Koperberg Suite comprises some 1700 small bodies of intrusive rocks largely composed of andesine anorthosite, biotite diorite, and leuconorite, norite and melanorite-hypersthenite; 30 mines have...
