Rb-Sr and K-Ar isotopic systems of the Upper Devonian sediments in the Pripyat Trough, Belarus

Validating far-field deformation styles from the Adjara-Trialeti fold-and-thrust belt to the Greater Caucasus (Georgia) through multi-proxy thermal maturity datasets

“…Raman results should be privileged as KI-derived paleotemperatures result from a discontinuous correlation scale (Hoffman and Hower, 1979) whereas the equation used to calculate temperatures from Raman parameters (Lünsdorf et al, 2017) provides a more detailed resolution. Additional KI data (Bujakaite et al (2003) confirm that maximum paleo-temperatures were higher than 300°C. These results are further corroborated by thermochronological results from Vasey et al (2020), indicating that the basement in the axial zone of the Greater Caucasus near Mt.…”

“…1 and 3). Data from Bujakaite et al (2003), Pupp et al (2018) andSamsu (2014) are presented in the Results section (Tables 1 and 2), whereas other published data are integrated in the Discussion section.…”

“…Moving to the footwall of the highest thrust, KI data indicate a decrease in paleotemperatures from more than 300 to about 250°C going upsection from north (Lower Jurassic) to south (Upper Jurassic) (Bujakaite et al, 2003).…”
