From Closure of the Mozambique Ocean to Gondwana Breakup: New Evidence from Geochronological Data of the Vohibory Terrane, Southwest Madagascar
Benjamin Emmel,Niels Jöns,Alfred Kröner,Joachim Jacobs,Jo-Anne Wartho,Volker Schenk,T. Razakamanana,A. Austegard +7 more
TL;DR: A multi-thermochronometer study of basement rocks, using combined Pb•Pb zircon, UTh•total Pb monazite, UPb SHRIMP titanite, 40Ar/39Ar biotite, and apatite fission track data, was performed to derive a detailed cooling history for the Vohibory terrane, southwest Madagascar.

Thermochronological history of an orogen‐passive margin system: An example from northern Mozambique
Benjamin Emmel,Rajeev Kumar,K. Ueda,Joachim Jacobs,M. C. Daszinnies,Robert J. Thomas,R. Matola +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a conceptual model to describe the post-Pan-African (<∼500 Ma) basement cooling pattern for NE Mozambique, derived from combined low-temperature thermochronological dating methods comprising titanite, zircon and apatite fission track data.

Postcollisional High-Grade Metamorphism, Orogenic Collapse, and Differential Cooling of the East African Orogen of Northeast Mozambique
K. Ueda,Joachim Jacobs,Robert J. Thomas,Jan Košler,Matthew S.A. Horstwood,Jo-Anne Wartho,Fred Jourdan,Benjamin Emmel,R. Matola +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the postcollisional tectonic development of northeast Mozambique and subsequent cooling from high-temperature metamorphism is delineated with an extensive new set of U-Pb titanite, 40Ar/39Ar hornblende, and 40Ar /39Ar mica analyses.
Phanerozoic upper crustal tectono-thermal development of basement rocks from central Madagascar: An integrated fission-track and structural study
TL;DR: An integrated study of fission track (FT) dating and structural geology revealed a complex tectono-thermal history preserved in basement rocks of central Madagascar since the amalgamation of Gondwana at the end of the Cambrian as mentioned in this paper.

Titanite and apatite fission track analyses on basement rocks of central-southern Madagascar: constraints on exhumation and denudation rates along the eastern rift shoulder of the Morondava basin
TL;DR: Titanite and apatite fission track (FT) thermochronology from basement rocks in central-southern Madagascar reveals a protracted post Late Neoproterozoic/Early Cambrian history of extensional tectonism, denudation and sedimentation as mentioned in this paper.
