The structural evolution of dilational step-overs in transtensional zones (2007)
Journal Article
De Paola, N., Holdsworth, R., Collettini, C., McCaffrey, K., & Barchi, M. (2007). The structural evolution of dilational step-overs in transtensional zones. Geological Society Special Publications, 290, 433-445. https://doi.org/10.1144/sp190.17

We propose a theoretical model, supported by a field study, to describe the patterns of fault/fracture meshes formed within dilational stepovers developed along faults accommodating regional scale wrench-dominated transtension. The geometry and kinem... Read More about The structural evolution of dilational step-overs in transtensional zones.

Exceptionally preserved Late Albian (Cretaceous) Arcellaceans (Thecamoebians) from the Dakota Formation near Lincoln, Nebraska, USA (2007)
Journal Article
van Hengstum, P., Reinhardt, E., Medioli, F., & Gröcke, D. (2007). Exceptionally preserved Late Albian (Cretaceous) Arcellaceans (Thecamoebians) from the Dakota Formation near Lincoln, Nebraska, USA. Journal of foraminiferal research, 37(4), 300-308. https://doi.org/10.2113/gsjfr.37.4.300

Thousands of exceptionally well-preserved Arcellaceans (Thecamoebians) have been recovered from a Late Albian (Cretaceous) deposit. Sedimentary samples were obtained from a clayey-silt leaf bed in the Dakota Formation, outcropping in a clay pit excav...

Change in runoff initiation probability over a severe drought in a peat soil – Implications for flowpaths. (2007)
Journal Article
Worrall, F., Burt, T., & Adamson, J. (2007). Change in runoff initiation probability over a severe drought in a peat soil – Implications for flowpaths. Journal of Hydrology, 345(1-2), 16-26. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhydrol.2007.07.008

Severe drying of soils can lead to cracking and thus the generation of new hydrological pathways. In soils that show hydrophobic behaviour upon drying, it is possible that such flowpaths survive beyond the period of the drought that caused the initia...

A mechanical model for complex fault patterns induced by evaporite dehydration and cyclic changes in fluid pressure (2007)
Journal Article
De Paola, N., Collettini, C., Trippetta, F., Barchi, M., & Minelli, G. (2007). A mechanical model for complex fault patterns induced by evaporite dehydration and cyclic changes in fluid pressure. Journal of Structural Geology, 29(10), 1573-1584. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jsg.2007.07.015

Complex fault patterns, i.e. faults which exhibit a diverse range of strikes, may develop under conditions where a regional tectonic stress field is weak or absent (e.g. polygonal faults). The present paper considers a complex system of synsedimentar... Read More about A mechanical model for complex fault patterns induced by evaporite dehydration and cyclic changes in fluid pressure.

A proposed integrated multi-signature model for peritidal cycles in carbonates (2007)
Journal Article
Spence, G., & Tucker, M. (2007). A proposed integrated multi-signature model for peritidal cycles in carbonates. Journal of Sedimentary Research, 77(10), 797-808. https://doi.org/10.2110/jsr.2007.080

A new integrated multi-signature model for meter-scale peritidal carbonate cycles presented here is relevant to the interpretation of these cycles in the stratigraphic record. Meter-scale shallowing-upward (micro)facies cycles are the most common typ... Read More about A proposed integrated multi-signature model for peritidal cycles in carbonates.

The role and temporal evolution of granite–related molybdenite mineral systems along the Caledonian-Appalachian orogen: Implications from Re-Os geochronology and fluid inclusion microthermometry. (2007)
Journal Article
Feely, M., Selby, D., Conliffe, J., & Judge, M. (2007). The role and temporal evolution of granite–related molybdenite mineral systems along the Caledonian-Appalachian orogen: Implications from Re-Os geochronology and fluid inclusion microthermometry. Applied Earth Science, 116(3), 143-149. https://doi.org/10.1179/174327507x207465

Re–Os geochronometry is combined with fluid inclusion microthermometry to investigate the granite molybdenite system associated with the late-Caledonian Omey Granite, Connemara, western Ireland. Molybdenite in the Omey pluton is hosted by thin vertic...

A link between large mantle melting events and continent growth seen in osmium isotopes (2007)
Journal Article
Pearson, D., Parman, S., & Nowell, G. (2007). A link between large mantle melting events and continent growth seen in osmium isotopes. Nature, 449(7159), 202-205. https://doi.org/10.1038/nature06122

Although Earth's continental crust is thought to have been derived from the mantle, the timing and mode of crust formation have proven to be elusive issues. The area of preserved crust diminishes markedly with age, and this can be interpreted as bein...
