TL;DR: The Rheic Ocean is the most important ocean of the Palaeozoic as discussed by the authors, and its suture along the line of a former Neoproterozoic suture following the onset of subduction in the outboard Iapetus Ocean.

Isotope geochemistry evidence for Laurussian-type sources of South Portuguese Zone Carboniferous turbidites (Variscan Orogeny)
Manuel Francisco Pereira,Cristina Gama,Ícaro Dias da Silva,José Manuel Fuenlabrada,J. B. Silva,Jorge Medina +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, isotope geochemical data indicate significant changes in the sources from which the SPZ Carboniferous turbidites are derived, consistent with the progressive denudation of a continental magmatic arc built on the Laurussian margin.
Late Silurian and Devonian ostracods of the Istanbul Zone (Western Pontides) and the Taurides: palaeogeographical implications
Atike Nazik,Helga Groos-Uffenorde,Ewa Olempska,M. Namık Yalçın,Volker Wilde,Eberhard Schindler,Peter Königshof,Emine Şeker Zor,Achim Wehrmann +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss possible contributions of late Silurian and Devonian ostracods to the palaeogeographical assignment of the Western Pontides (Istanbul Zone).
Zircon perspectives on the age and origin of evolved S-type granites from the Cornubian Batholith, Southwest England
W. D. Smith,James Darling,D. Bullen,Stephanie Lasalle,Inês Pereira,Hugo Moreira,Connor James Allen,Simon Tapster +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the first geochemical and geochronological dataset for the composite Crownhill stock was presented, placing it into the newly emerging geochroological framework for the Cornubian Batholith.
Hot plutonism in a cold accretionary wedge: What terminated the Cadomian orogeny along the northern periphery of Gondwana?
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors examine the emplacement and tectonic setting of the shallow-level Kdyně gabbro to diorite pluton in the southwestern part of the Bohemian Massif as it represents the earliest event following the end of the Cadomian trench-sediment accretion at around 527 Ma.

Current plate motions
TL;DR: A global plate motion model, named NUVEL-1, which describes current plate motions between 12 rigid plates is described, with special attention given to the method, data, and assumptions used as discussed by the authors.

A plate tectonic model for the Paleozoic and Mesozoic constrained by dynamic plate boundaries and restored synthetic oceanic isochrons
TL;DR: In this article, a plate tectonic model for the Paleozoic and Mesozoic (Ordovician to Cretaceous) integrating dynamic plate boundaries, plate buoyancy, ocean spreading rates and major Tectonic and magmatic events was developed.

Implications of Plate Tectonics for the Cenozoic Tectonic Evolution of Western North America
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the history of plate motions between the American and Pacific plates in the late Cenozoic and found that the two plates were fixed with respect to one another until 5 m.y.

Observations at convergent margins concerning sediment subduction, subduction erosion, and the growth of continental crust
Roland von Huene,David W. Scholl +1 more
TL;DR: Sediment subduction occurs where sediment remains attached to the subducting oceanic plate and underthrusts the seaward position of the upper plate's resistive buttress (backstop) of consolidated sediment and rock as discussed by the authors.
