A geologic reconnaissance of the Cycladic blueschist belt, Greece A geologic reconnaissance of the Cycladic blueschist belt, Greece
The Cycladic blueschist belt consists of two distinctive segments separated by a broad zone of superposed granitic and high-temperature metamorphic rocks. The northern segment contains early metamorphic fold axes and parallel glaucophane lineations that trend ∼060° with a progressive increase in metamorphism toward the southeast. The southern segment contains similar fold axes and...

Proterozoic zircon from augen gneiss, Yukon-Tanana Upland, east-central Alaska Proterozoic zircon from augen gneiss, Yukon-Tanana Upland, east-central Alaska
U-Th-Pb analyses of zircons from an ortho-augen gneiss body in the Yukon-Tanana Upland of east-central Alaska yield strong evidence for the presence of early Proterozoic material in this area. U-Pb data define a chord that intersects concordia at about 2,300 and 345 m.y. We consider two interpretations: (1) the protolith was intruded during the Proterozoic and was subsequently...

Economics and petroleum resource appraisal: The case of the Permian basin: Economics and petroleum resource appraisal: The case of the Permian basin:
Estimates of oil and gas resources typically are presented in terms of proved and undiscovered resources. This paper presents a methodology for incorporating economic considerations into resource appraisals for petroleum basins. A cost algorithm is used to calculate estimates of the costs of finding and developing undiscovered oil and gas fields in the Permian basin. The sensitivity of...
