Radiometric Constraints on the Timing, Tempo, and Effects of Large Igneous Province Emplacement
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.

Mineralogy and geochemistry of alkali feldspars from the Tanco pegmatite, southeastern Manitoba
The alkali feldspar paragenetic sequence in the Tanco pegmatite at Bernic Lake, Manitoba, spans the entire crystallization and cooling history of the pegmatite, and includes six different K(Rb)-feldspar and six different albite varieties. Total feldspar modal abundances approach 50% for the entire pegmatite volume. Blocky K-feldspar, aplitic albite and

Management and valorisation of delithiated β-spodumene and its processing stream
In many regions including Australia and South America (Lithium Triangle), lithium mining needs to thrive without compromising natural ecosystems. In particular, extracting lithium from pegmatites produces significant amounts of Delithiated β-spodumene ...

P-T path fluid evolution in the Gross Spitzkoppe granite stock, Namibia [PDF]
The Gross Spitzkoppe granite stock (GSS) is a zoned 30 km2 epizonal intrusion that consists of three main granites: 1) medium-grained biotite granite (marginal), 2) a coarse-grained biotite granite, and 3) a central, porphyritic granite.

Internal framework and geochemistry of the Carboniferous Huaco granite pluton, Sierra de Velasco, NW Argentina [PDF]
The A-type Huaco granite pluton of the Velasco range (Sierras Pampeanas of northwest Argentina) is formed by three coeval granitic facies and contains subordinate coeval-to-late facies, as well as enclaves, dikes and stocks that show different temporal ...

Routine characterization and interpretation of complex alkali feldspar intergrowths [PDF]
Almost all alkali feldspar crystals contain a rich inventory of exsolution, twin, and domain microtextures that form subsequent to crystal growth and provide a record of the thermal history of the crystal and often of its involvement in replacement ...

Amazonitic alkali feldspar from the Tanakami Granitic pegmatite, southwest Japan
This is the first detailed description of amazonitic alkali feldspar in Japan. The amazonitic feldspar is from pegmatite in the Tanakami Granite, southwest Japan. Macroscopically, the feldspar is characterized by the coexistence of pale blue and white parts.

Observation of centimetre-scale argon diffusion in alkali feldspars: implications for 40Ar/39Ar thermochronology [PDF]
New data from a gem-quality feldspar from Itrongay, Madagascar, record naturally occurring 40Ar/39Ar age profiles which can be numerically modelled by invoking a single diffusion mechanism and show that microtexturally simple crystals are capable of ...
