  Chapter4: D5: Doming   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
The dome swells to a maximal width in the middle of its long axe and pinches at both ends, in the Suru region to the NW and in the Sarchu region to the SE.
Because of the folding of the ZSZ around the Gianbul Dome (Fig 4.12), it is also expected that the southern side of the dome should be characterized by the presence of the ZSZ but tilted towards the south.
The cause of doming of the HHCS in Zanskar is unclear.

The dome is cored by an orthogneiss which is mantled by staurolite + kyanite-zone metasedimentary rocks; metamorphic grade dies out upsection and is defined by a series of concentric kyanite-in, staurolite-in, garnet-in, and chloritoid-in isograds.
Pressures and temperatures increase with depth and northward within a single structural horizon across the dome and the apparent gradient in pressure is approximately 20% of the expected gradient, suggesting that the rocks were subvertically shortened after the pressure gradient was frozen in.
Middle Miocene thrust faulting in the Kangmar Dome region is synchronous with continued normal slip along the STDS and thrust motion along the Renbu Zedong thrust fault, suggesting that extension and contraction was occurring simultaneously within southern Tibet.

 Geology, Fluid Inclusion and Isotope Studies of the Jinding Zn-Pb Deposit, Western Yunnan, China
The structure of the Jinding area is characterized by thrusting of an overturned Mesozoic succession over an autochthonous Meso-Cenozoic succession, followed by doming and fracturing of both the allochthonous and autochthonous successions.
The mineralization is not stratabound and is controlled by structures including thrusts and dome that formed a lithologic trap.
Mineralization is related to the mixing and chemical reactions in the structure-lithologic trap at depth of 0.9~1.5km between the mantle sourced fluid that is rich in metals and CO and the saline formation water that is organic-bearing.

The local Caroux dome is also elongated in the ENE- WSW direction and the bulk of the interior consists of gneiss, much of which is "augenitic"(with yeux, or eyes).
The Caroux dome of the Gorges is of a different composition, the anatectic granite and migmatites being largely replaced by the augen gneiss.

Weardale district of the Northern Pennine Orefield is located in the largely rural northwestern portion of County Durham, and is not far south of Hadrian’s Wall in the north of England.
The ore-bearing veins have been intruded as open space fillings along a series of regional fractures which are believed to have been created by regional doming at the end of the Carboniferous (Sawkins, 1966).
The low temperature of deposition, presence of meteoric hydrothermal solutions, along with the geographic and temporal relationship of ore deposition to regional doming, and a lack of apparent igneous source indicates that these deposits are genetically similar to the Mississippi Valley-type Pb-Zn-fluorite deposits of the central United States.

The centerpiece is a large structural dome formed by emplacement of a large (~100 cubic km) laccolith in late Eocene.
The structural relief of the dome is 1.6 km, and the roof underwent 400 m of radial extension from the center.
The foundering of the crestal graben block was probably contemporaneous with the emplacement of a granite intrusion on the eastern side of the collapsed block and formation of a small caldera south of the crestal graben block.

Reed, a retired Texaco geologist-geophysicist who has been studying the region's geology for over 40 years, says the accepted theory of a quiet geologic evolution of the Gulf of Mexico Basin is fundamentally flawed and needs to be revised.
This complex of doming and seismic centers is similar to another Cretaceous age triple juncture located in the northeastern Gulf of Mexico Basin.
Doming of the DeSoto Canyon High during the Jurassic to Cretaceous created this triple juncture, which includes the Cretaceous Shelf Edge, the Suwannee Strait and the West Florida Escarpment.

During these ash-flow eruptions, doming in the Silverton and Lake City areas was accomplished through faulting, leaving a series of partially overlapping structural features that resulted from different eruptions.
Doming in the Silverton area was accompanied by the development of fractures radiating from the dome, with many extending northwestward into the areas now known as the Telluride and Sneffels districts.
As the Silverton dome magma chamber emptied during an ash-flow eruption, the dome collapsed, forming the Silverton caldera.

There are other possibilities: a structural dome, perhaps due to interference between open folds of a couple of generation; the result of upward forces from magmatic activity, such as an underlying plutonic diapir.
These mantled domes give a curious “egg-box” appearance to the geology of many shield areas, usually picked out by the conventional pink colours used to signify granitic rocks and greens for supracrustal belts.
Many of the gneiss domes show evidence for the involvement of crustal melting in response to decompression as orogens evolve, almost certainly resulting from removal of the upper crust, either by rapid erosion or extensional tectonics.

The second stage exhumation was related to regional extension due to mantle doming beneath the Hefei basin in the Jurassic to Cretaceous Continuous erosion and uplift of the Dabieshan coupled with deposition of the eroded material in the Hefei Basin through Cenozoic and Mesozoic times have brought the UPH rocks to the surface.

 GeoFact No. 13, The Geology of Ohio--the Precambrian
Continued continental doming of the superswell caused the crust beneath western Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky to extend and split (rifting), resulting in major faulting and consequent downdropping to form a complex rift basin, now known as the East Continent Rift Basin.
About 1 billion years ago, doming ceased and the rift became a failed or aborted rift.

 Late Orogenic doming in the eastern Betic Cordilleras: Final exhumation of the Nevado-Filabride complex and its ...
Perpendicular directions of extension in metamorphic domes and nearby sedimentary basins remain unexplained.
This paper puts kinematic constraints on the final exhumation of the Nevado-Filabride complex, focusing on the formation of metamorphic domes and their relations with the adjacent basins.
Continuous ductile to brittle top-to-the-west shear is compatible with the slab retreat hypothesis from the Miocene; the formation of domes which adds gravitational forces responsible for the final stages of exhumation is thus characterized by important kinematics changes necessary to explain coeval N-S opened basins.

Formations are layers or sequences of rocks or other sediments that have been formally recognized by geologists on the basis of their distinctive lithology and structure and are recognizable over a mappable area or region.
As I have discussed in earlier articles, proper labeling of your fossils is one of the most important and valuable aspects of your collection and it is important to have a good understanding of terminology and nomenclature.
Along with all of your various field guides and other books used for fossil identification, it is handy to have a general reference on geology and earth history as well as an up to date geology or earth sciences dictionary.

The change from deciduous trees to conifers is probably a result the increasing acidity of the bog as the terrestrial peat accumulates.
As the doming of the bog continues, the environment changes such that conifers can no longer survive and the vegetation is then dominated by Sphagnum.
As the bog begins to dome from the accumulation of peat, the vegetative layer rises about the level of the water.
