PALEOARCHEAN MAFIC ROCKS OF THE SOUTHWESTERN SIBERIAN CRATON: PRELIMINARY GEOCHRONOLOGY AND GEOCHEMICAL CHARACTERIZATION

open access: yesГеодинамика и тектонофизика, 2017
The Siberian craton consists of Archean blocks, which were welded up into the same large unit by ca 1.9 Ga [Gladkochub et al., 2006; Rojas-Agramonte et al., 2011].

Geological and isotopic characteristics of granites from the Western Pernambuco-Alagoas Domain: implications for the crustal evolution of the Neoproterozoic Borborema Province

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Geology
The Western Pernambuco-Alagoas Domain is a complex tectonic domain of the Southern part of the Neoproterozoic Borborema Province. It borders the Northern margin of São Francisco Craton. U-Pb and Sm-Nd data discussed in this work show that, in the Western

Potassium Isotope Evidence for Origin of Archean TTG Rocks From Seawater‐Hydrothermally Altered Oceanic Crust

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems
Tonalite‐trondhjemite‐granodiorite (TTG) rocks constitute a crucial part of the Archean continental crust, yet their origins remain contentious. It is critical to decipher their source nature and hydration mechanism.

Sediment‐stressed reefs over the past 420 Myr

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.
In order to fully elucidate the relationship between siliciclastic sedimentation and reef development, there needs to be a significant step change in how we record ancient and recent reefs. Only through the collection of constrained quantitative data, we can progress beyond the largely conjectural associations postulated for many ancient reefal systems.

Marine Phosphate Level During the Archean Constrained by the Global Redox Budget

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters
Understanding the oceanic phosphate concentration is critical for understanding marine productivity and oxygen evolution throughout Earth history. During the Archean, estimates of marine phosphate levels range from scarce to enriched conditions. However,

Carbonate sedimentology: An evolved discipline

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Although admired and examined since antiquity, carbonate sediment and rock research really began with Charles Darwin who, during a discovery phase, studied, documented and interpreted their nature in the mid‐19th century. The modern discipline, however, really began after World War II and evolved in two distinct phases.

Domed‐rim microbial polygons and their preservation potential

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.
Microbially induced sedimentary structures (MISS) derive through interactions between minerals and microorganisms. We define a domed‐rim MISS, morphologically distinct from abiotic mud cracks and demonstrate its potential for long‐term preservation. These structures represent promising biosignatures in ancient environments on Earth and potentially Mars.
