Sr, Nd, and Pb isotope evidence for a mantle origin of alkali chlorides and carbonates in the Udachnaya kimberlite, Siberia [PDF]
The kimberlite rocks of the Udachnaya-East pipe (Siberia) are uniquely fresh and contain very high abundances of primary volatiles (Cl, CO2, S). Alkali elements and chlorine are extremely abundant in the reconstructed kimberlite melt compositions, and ...

Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Zeolites in acid vitreous rocks, southern Mendoza, Argentina [PDF]
A mordenite-rich deposit located in the south of the province of Mendoza (Argentina) was studied. The host rock in this area has not been previously described and corresponds to rhyolitic lavas of high-K calc-alkaline series.

Facies and evolution of the carbonate factory during the Permian–Triassic crisis in South Tibet, China [PDF]
The nature of Phanerozoic carbonate factories is strongly controlled by the composition of carbonate-producing faunas. During the Permian–Triassic mass extinction interval there was a major change in tropical shallow platform facies: Upper Permian ...

Time-space focused intrusion of genetically unrelated arc magmas in the early Paleozoic Ross-Delamerian Orogen (Morozumi Range, Antarctica) [PDF]
The growth of continental crust in accretionary orogenic belts takes place through repeated cycles of subduction– accretion of rock units fromcontinental and oceanic magmatic arcs, supra-subduction zone backarcs and forearcs loaded with continent ...

Introduction The pseudo-section method, first proposed by Hensen (1971), is used today by scientists to determine the thermodynamic conditions of mineral crystallization and modeling in metamorphic lithology (Hoschek, 2004; Omrani et al., 2013).

Introduction. One of the main tasks of paleomagnetic studies is to obtain a framework of reference poles for calculating the kinematic characteristics of lithospheric taxones as a basis for geodynamic reconstructions.

Paleogene initiation of the Western Branch of the East African Rift: The uplift history of the Rwenzori Mountains, Western Uganda [PDF]
The two branches of the East African Rift System (EARS) are believed to have initiated diachronously. However, a growing body of work continues to suggest the onset of rifting in the Western Branch occurred in the Paleogene, coeval to the Eastern Branch.
