Cretaceous to Neogene cooling and exhumation history of the Oetztal-Stubai basement complex, eastern Alps: a structural and fission track study
Article Abstract:
Research is presented concerning the exhumation and expansion of the Oetztal-Stubai basement complex of Europe during the Cretaceous before it became jointed to the Neogene Brenner normal fault.

Late Oligocene-Neogene evolution of Europe-Adria collision: new structural and geochronological evidence from the Giudicarie fault system (Italian Eastern Alps)
Article Abstract:
Research into the kinematics, timing and extent of movements on the Giudicarie fault system in the Italian Eastern Alps is presented. It is concluded that this fault is a system comprising a number of segments of different orientation, age and kinematics. There are two separate groups of faults marking the boundary to the Southern Alps.

Timing of Cretaceous extension and Miocene compression in northeast South Island, New Zealand: constraints from Rb-Sr and fission-track dating of an igneous pluton
Article Abstract:
The Tapuaenuku Plutonic Complex in Marlborough, northeastern South Island was intruded at a high level in the crust in the mid-Cretaceous during a period of rifting. Concordant K-Ar, zircon, Rb-Sr and titanite fission-track ages for the complex was found to support rapid cooling between 105 and 93 Ma. This was succeeded by thermal relaxation and associated subsidence of the crust after extension and magnetism. The intrusion was buried at a minimum depth of three to four kilometers.
