Interpretation of zircon coronae textures from metapelitic granulites of the Ivrea–Verbano Zone, northern Italy: two-stage decomposition of Fe–Ti oxides

Kovaleva, Elizaveta; Austrheim, Hakon O.; Klotzli, Urs S. (European Geosciences Union, 2017)

In this study, we report the occurrence of zircon coronae textures in metapelitic granulites of the Ivrea–Verbano Zone. Unusual zircon textures are spatially associated with Fe–Ti oxides and occur as (1) vermicular-shaped ...
Mechanisms of strain accommodation in plastically-deformed zircon under simple shear deformation conditions during amphibolite-facies metamorphism

Kovaleva, Elizaveta; Klotzli, Urs; Wheeler, John; Habler, Gerlinde (Elsevier, 2017)

This study documents the strain accommodation mechanisms in zircon under amphibolite facies metamorphic conditions in simple shear. Microstructural data from undeformed, fractured and crystal-plastically deformed zircon ...
The effect of crystal-plastic deformation on isotope and trace element distribution in zircon: Combined BSE, CL, EBSD, FEG-EMPA and NanoSIMS study

Kovaleva, Elizaveta; Klotzli, Urs; Habler, Gerlinde; Huet, Benjamin; Guan, Yun-bin; Rhede, Dieter (Elsevier, 2016)

Plastically-deformed zircon grains from granulite-facies (Ivrea-Verbano Zone, Southern Alps, Italy) and amphibolite-facies (Tauern Window, Eastern Alps, Austria) shear zones have been investigated. The main focus was on ...
