TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report International Ocean Discovery Program drilling data from the northern South China Sea margin, testing the magma-poor margin model outside the North Atlantic, showing initiation of mid-Ocean Ridge basalt type magmatism during breakup, with a narrow and rapid transition into igneous oceanic crust.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined 108 samples of andalusite-bearing felsic rocks from more than 40 localities world-wide and found that the majority of them show no textural or chemical evidence suggesting a magmatic origin.
The metamorphism and exhumation of the Himalayan metamorphic core, eastern Garhwal region, India
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used thermobarometric and metamorphic observations to explain the exhumation of the GHS from the middle crust to the brittle-ductile transition.

Contrasting P-T-t paths: Thermochronologic evidence for a Late Paleozoic final assembly of the Avalon Composite Terrane in the New England Appalachians
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that high-grade Alleghanian metamorphism in the Avalon composite terrane occurred east of rocks now overlying it and that significant motion between Avalon and this cover occurred after peak alleghanians.

Crustal thickening by tectonic wedging of the Ganderian rocks, southern New England, USA: Evidence from cataclastic zircon microstructures and U–Pb ages
TL;DR: In this article, a map pattern of inter-tonguing high-grade and low-grade slices of peri-Gondwanan rocks shows that they were assembled by crustal-scale tectonic wedging.
