The Cretaceous Nuevo Rosarito plutonic suite is located in the southern part of the Peninsular Ranges batholith (~28.7 °N). It is hosted by a suite of Jurassicgranitoidrocks datedat 151.6Ma (U-Pb single zircon ages) and by Late Jurassic - Early Cretaceous…

A suite of mafic dikes intrudes polydeformed, greenschist facies, metapsammites and metapelites of the Salada unit in the eastern part of the Acatlán Complex, southern Mexico. The age of the dikes is constrained by the youngest detrital zircon in the…

A ca.30 m thick tephra-sediment sequence from the north-eastern Basin of Mexico (Pachuca sub-basin, central Mexico) is investigated for stratigraphy and multi-element geochemistry to understand the tephrochronology, provenance and conditions of chemical weathering duringLate Quaternary. Chemical compositions of tephra layers…

Analogous to chemometrics, geochemometrics can be defined as the science resulting from the combination of statistics, mathematics and computation with geochemistry. This term in Spanish -geoquimiometría- has already been explicitly used in the literature. Here I elaborate on the numerous…

A detailed regional grid of 97 surficial sediment samples is studied for the San Quintín coastal lagoon, which is a shallow embayment located adjacent to a "regionally-rare" intraplate-type basaltic terrain known as San Quintín volcanic field. The influence that this…

Sandstone petrography and shale geochemistry from the lower Jurassic Ab-e-Haji Formation, in the southern part of Tabas block, were used to constrain provenance, tectonic setting and weathering conditions. The sandstones consist mainly of quartz and sedimentary and low grade metamorphic…

Islas Marías archipelago is located 110 km NW of San Blas, Nayarit in the mouth of the Gulf of California. The archipelago is formed by San Juanito, María Madre, María Magdalena, and María Cleofas islands. The position of these islands…
