• Influence of a rigid backstop on the flow pattern during thrusting of the supracrustal Balsfjord Series of the North Norwegian Caledonides 

      Höpfl, Stephan Maximilian; Konopásek, Jiří; Sláma, Jiří (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-03-17)
      The Caledonian evolution of the low–medium grade Balsfjord Series (Troms, Northern Norway) is characterized by four sets of deformation structures that developed progressively during burial and exhumation from underneath the high-grade Nakkedal and Tromsø nappe complexes. The Balsfjord Series commonly displays top-to-the SSE–SE directed movement during the development of the main metamorphic fabric ...
    • Late Paleoproterozoic and Mesoproterozoic magmatism of the Nico Pérez Terrane (Uruguay): Tightening up correlations in southwestern Gondwana 

      Oriolo, Sebastián; Oyhantcabal, Pedro; Konopásek, Jiří; Basei, Miguel A.S.; Frei, Robert; Sláma, Jiří; Wemmer, Klaus; Siegesmund, Siegfried (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-04-04)
      New geochronological, isotopic and geochemical data were obtained from the late Paleoproterozoic and Mesoproterozoic magmatic units of the Nico Pérez Terrane (Uruguay). A U-Pb LA-ICP-MS zircon age of 1768 ± 11 Ma confirms the Statherian age for the Illescas rapakivi intrusion, being thus comparable with the age of the Campanero Unit felsic orthogneisses. Though both the Illescas and Campanero ...
    • Long-lasting Cadomian magmatic activity along an active northern Gondwana margin: U–Pb zircon and Sr–Nd isotopic evidence from the Brunovistulian Domain, eastern Bohemian Massif 

      Soejono, Igor; Janousek, Vojtěch; Žáčková, Eliška; Sláma, Jiří; Konopásek, Jiří; Machek, Matěj; Hanžl, Pavel (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-11-03)
      Cadomian magmatic complexes of the Brunovistulian Domain crop out at the eastern termination of the Bohemian Massif. However, the age, nature and geotectonic affinity of some of pre-Variscan (meta-)igneous rock complexes from this domain are still unknown. Geochronological and geochemical study of the granitic rocks across the Brunovistulian Domain reveals new information about the timing and nature ...
    • The onset of flysch sedimentation in the Kaoko Belt (NW Namibia) – Implications for the pre-collisional evolution of the Kaoko–Dom Feliciano–Gariep orogen 

      Konopásek, Jiří; Hoffmann, Karl Heinz; Sláma, Jiří; Košler, Jan (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-06-17)
      <p>Detrital zircon provenance study of a metamorphosed sedimentary succession in the eastern part of the Kaoko Belt in Namibia has revealed two distinct sources for the Neoproterozoic sedimentation along the southwestern Congo Craton margin. The lower part of the succession shows detrital zircon ages consistent with erosion of Paleoproterozoic basement of the Congo Craton with an inferred Mesoproterozoic ...
    • Pre-orogenic connection of the foreland domains of the Kaoko–Dom Feliciano–Gariep orogenic system 

      Percival, Jack James; Konopásek, Jiří; Eiesland, Ragnhild; Sláma, Jiří; Campos, Roberto Sacks de; Battisti, Matheus Ariel; Bitencourt, Maria de Fatima (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-12-30)
      Neoproterozoic metasedimentary rocks in the foreland domains of the Kaoko–Dom Feliciano–Gariep orogenic system record sedimentation from the breakup of Rodinia to the amalgamation of Gondwana, and thus provide ideal subjects for investigation of the mutual pre-orogenic positions of rifted margins of the African and South American cratonic blocks. U–Pb isotopic dating of zircon in the Brusque Complex ...
