title: Two-stage development of the Late Cretaceous to Late Eocene Darende Basin: implications for closure of Neotethys in central eastern Anatolia (Turkey)

description: The Darende Basin is an excellent example of an important, but little known, type of sedimentary basin that can form on the top of emplaced ophiolites prior to and during continental collision. The basin formation was preceded by southward emplacement of accretionary mélange and ophiolites onto the Tauride carbonate platform during latest Cretaceous. Sedimentation began during the Maastrichtian with non-marine clastic sediments accumulating in palaeovalleys. This was followed by a Maastrichtian marine transgression, triggered by extension along the basin margins. Rudist-rich patch reefs and a carbonate shelf developed in different areas. A second transgression during the Mid-Eocene was preceded by emergence, a hiatus (Paleocene), localized faulting and low-angle (&lt;5–10°) tilting. Middle Eocene hemipelagic marls, shallow-marine <em>Nummulites</em>-rich carbonates, calciturbidites and sparse alkaline volcanism culminated in Late Eocene shallowing, emergence and then deformation. The first phase of basin development (Maastrichtian) is seen as extensional, related to slab-pull that resulted from northward subduction of remnant oceanic lithosphere beneath Eurasia in the Pontides to the north. The second phase of basin development (Mid–Late Eocene) is explained by crustal downflexure to form an under-filled foreland basin during the final collision of the Tauride continent with Eurasia. Basin uplift was delayed until after a Mid-Miocene marine incursion.

title: Crustal evolution of the South Mayo Trough, western Ireland, based on U–Pb ages and Hf–O isotopes in detrital zircons

description: Ordovician strata of the South Mayo Trough in western Ireland contain clastic deposits that represent materials eroded from a large and diverse continental area over a time scale that spans much of the Earth’s history. Therefore, it is a useful region to use detrital zircons to construct a continental crustal growth model. Here, we report integrated U–Pb, Lu–Hf and O isotope measurements obtained from <em>in situ</em> analyses of 160 zircons from the South Mayo Trough. U–Pb zircon crystallization ages define three major magmatic episodes of crustal reworking in the Archaean (Lewisian), Mesoproterozoic (Grenville), and Ordovician (Grampian). These data, together with oxygen isotope data and Hf model ages, suggest that crustal growth, recorded in the strata of the South Mayo Trough, started at <em>c</em>. 4 Ga and continued until 1.4 Ga, with two major growth periods at 2.3–2.1 and 2.0–1.5 Ga. We find that the crustal incubation time is decoupled from the duration of supracrustal alteration processes; some zircons with very long crustal incubation times have pristine mantle δ<sup>18</sup>O signatures suggesting minimal low-temperature surface processing in their source regions. Identifying such zircons is the key for future studies in constructing realistic net continental crustal growth models unaffected by crustal recycling.

title: Interplay of proximal and distal sources in Devonian–Carboniferous sandstones of the Clair Basin, west of Shetland, revealed by detrital zircon U–Pb ages

description: The Clair Basin is one of the Devonian sedimentary basins formed as a result of extensional tectonics in the aftermath of the Caledonian orogeny. The Devonian to Carboniferous Clair Group was deposited directly on Archaean basement, providing an opportunity to consider contrasting proximal and distal provenances. New secondary ion mass spectrometry detrital zircon U–Pb data and complementary heavy mineral data allow for a reinterpretation of potential source areas. Detrital zircons from the Clair Group yield ages ranging from <em>c</em>. 400 to 3700 Ma. All samples contain a group of Archaean ages (<em>c</em>. 16–82%). However, many samples also contain a major group of Proterozoic zircons (<em>c</em>. 15%–78%), allowing subdivision into two types of samples: type 1, dominated by Proterozoic zircons, and type 2, dominated by Archaean zircons. Type 2 samples are mainly derived from local basement gneisses during phases of tectonic rejuvenation of the hinterland, whereas type 1 samples are most probably sourced from NE Greenland or, less likely, SW Scandinavia. Upper Clair Group (Unit VII–IX) sandstones have type 2 zircon spectra in association with staurolite- and garnet-rich heavy mineral assemblages and were probably derived from predominantly Archaean-sourced metasedimentary rocks on the Shetland Platform.

title: Neogene rotations in the Jiuquan Basin, Hexi Corridor, China

description: Vertical-axis rotations of blocks in/around the Tibetan Plateau can be attributed to the India–Asia collision. Study of the vertical-axis rotations of these blocks will increase our understanding of the mechanisms and kinematics of continent–continent collisions. We report here a new palaeomagnetic study of rotations using data from four localities (five magnetostratigraphy sections) in the Jiuquan Basin. Our study indicates that the mean declinations of each section are different from each other, similar to what has been observed in the other localities in the NE Tibetan Plateau. However, using the mean directions of every 100 m of section, we observe that the four localities have similar sequential patterns of rotations during the last 13 Ma: significant continuous counterclockwise before <em>c.</em> 8.0 Ma, insignificant rotations between 8.0–4.0 Ma, and slight clockwise rotation after 4.0 Ma. This indicates that, rather than being a record of spatially varying declinations, it is a temporal variation in the occurrence of regional rotations. Combined with other geological evidence, the rotation patterns may suggest two major tectonic activity phases of the northeastern Tibetan Plateau during the last 13 Ma: an eastward extrusion and strike-slip dominant phase before 8.0 Ma, a significant shortening and a rapid uplift dominant phase after 8.0 Ma.

title: Integrated stratigraphy (magneto-, bio- and chronostratigraphy) and geochronology of the Palaeogene pelagic succession of the Umbria–Marche Basin (central Italy)

description: Extensive outcrops in the Umbria–Marche Basin of central Italy include some of the most complete successions of Palaeogene sediments known from the Tethyan Realm. Owing to the continuous deposition in a pelagic setting, a rather modest tectonic overprint, the availability of excellent age control through magneto-, bio-, chemo- and tephrostratigraphy, and direct radioisotopic dates from interbedded volcaniclastic layers, these sediments have played a prominent role in the establishment of standard Palaeogene time scales. We present here a complete and well-preserved Palaeogene pelagic composite succession of the Umbria–Marche Basin, which provides the means for an accurate and precise calibration of the Palaeogene time scale. As a necessary step towards the compilation of a more robust database on a wide scale so as to improve the magneto-, bio- and chronostratigraphic framework of the classical southern Tethyan zonations, enabling regional and supraregional correlations, we have constructed a record of reliable Palaeogene planktonic foraminifera, calcareous nannofossil and dinocyst biohorizons commonly used in tropical to subtropical Cenozoic zonations. In addition, an age model is provided for the Palaeogene pelagic composite succession based on magnetostratigraphy, planktonic foraminifera and calcareous nannofossils, which contributes to an integrated chronology for the Palaeogene Tethyan sediments from <em>c.</em> 65.5 to 23 Ma.

title: Large-scale magmatic pulses drive plant ecosystem dynamics

description: The 6.6 km gross thickness of the Palaeogene lava field of the Faroe Islands Basalt Group was erupted in the initial phases of North Atlantic rifting. Thin interlava sedimentary rocks yield palynofloras that vary in composition and diversity with the duration of the interlava period. Long-term trends in plant ecological succession occur within the record, each reflecting initially rapid and subsequently slowing eruption tempo. TiO<sub>2</sub> and MgO plots derived from the basalt lava flows show corresponding fractionation trends. These link melt column processes to vegetation ecosystem dynamics via controls on eruption tempo, thermal support and substrate disturbance.

title: Supplementary Material for: Tolerance and Adherence to Cationic 0.1% Cyclosporine in Ocular Graft-versus-Host Disease

description: <b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Anti-inflammatory, topical therapy of severe keratitis in dry eye disease (DED) and ocular graft-versus-host disease (oGvHD) includes steroids, cyclosporine (Cs), and others. In Germany, a commercial product containing 0.1% Cs in a cationic formulation is available since 2015. <b><i>Objective:</i></b> The aim of this study was to present real-life data using cationic 0.1% Cs in oGvHD patients. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> This was a retrospective study of 26 oGvHD and 41 DED patients with corneal staining of at least Oxford grade III. Parameters analyzed were Ocular Surface Disease Index, corneal staining, intraocular pressure, tear film break-up time, Schirmer, and visual acuity. In addition, it was evaluated how different Cs formulations were tolerated. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Corneal staining improved significantly in 1 eye in DED but not in oGvHD. In DED, cationic 0.1% Cs was not tolerated by 32% of the patients, in contrast to 0.05% Cs in castor oil not tolerated by 47% and liposomal 0.05% Cs by 63%. In oGvHD patients, cationic 0.1% Cs was not tolerated by 62%, 0.05% Cs in castor oil by 33%, and liposomal 0.05% Cs by 39% of the patients. <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> This study demonstrates differences between the tolerance of different Cs formulations depending on the underlying cause of severe keratitis. Cationic 0.1% Cs is considerably less tolerated in oGvHD, and its use should be considered with care.

title: Relating petroleum system and play development to basin evolution: Brazilian South Atlantic margin

description: We review the structural genesis and evolutionary history of basins along the Brazilian South Atlantic margin from the Sergipe-Alagoas (north) to the Pelotas basin (south), and demonstrate the links with petroleum system and play development. In our approach, we first break basins down into their tectonostratigraphic megasequences and define their characteristics, particularly focused on the development of characteristic source- and reservoir-rock intervals. We then compare these megasequences with similar types of megasequences in other basins, thereby providing a means to learn through a greater population of analogues. We demonstrate, using trajectory plots, that these basins experienced a similar tectonostratigraphic basin evolution, resulting in the deposition of many analogue potential source- and reservoir-rock intervals. These give rise to the development of similar types of potential petroleum systems and play (level)s. Although the area is currently being actively explored, large areas remain poorly understood, with unknown source-rock maturity distributions and many unknown/untested reservoirs/plays. This approach allows us to make analogue comparisons between the Brazilian marginal basins in order to evaluate and predict the presence of potential, yet undiscovered or under-explored, hydrocarbon accumulations.

title: Easternmost Mediterranean evidence of the Zanclean flooding event and subsequent surface uplift: Adana Basin, southern Turkey

description: According to the literature, the Adana Basin, at the easternmost part of the Mediterranean Basin in southern Turkey, records the Pliocene stage with shallow-marine to fluvial deposits. Our micropalaeontological analysis of samples from the Adana Basin reveal Late Lago–Mare biofacies with Paratethyan ostracod assemblages pertaining to the <em>Loxocorniculina djafarovi</em> zone. Grey clays rich in planktonic foraminifera lie above the Lago–Mare deposits. Within the grey clays, the continuous occurrence of the calcareous nannofossil <em>Reticulofenestra zancleana</em> and the base of the <em>Reticulofenestra pseudoumbilicus</em> paracme points to an Early Zanclean age (5.332–5.199 Ma). Both ostracod and benthic foraminifera indicate epibathyal and bathyal environments. <sup>87</sup>Sr/<sup>86</sup>Sr measurements on planktonic and benthic foraminifera fall below the mean global ocean value for the Early Zanclean, indicating potentially insufficient mixing of low <sup>87</sup>Sr/<sup>86</sup>Sr Mediterranean brackish ‘Lago–Mare’ water with the global ocean in the earliest Pliocene. We utilize the ages and palaeodepths of the marine sediments together with their modern elevations to determine uplift rates of the Adana Basin of 0.06 to 0.13 mm a<sup>−1</sup> since 5.2–5.3 Ma (total uplift of 350–650 m) from surface data, and 0.02–0.13 mm a<sup>−1</sup> since <em>c.</em> 1.8 Ma (total uplift of 30–230 m) from subsurface data.
