Pegmatites of the Mokromoskovsk granite pluton

Вісник Харківського національного університету імені В.Н. Каразіна. Серія Геологія. Географія. Екологія
Introduction. The Mokromoskovsky pluton is composed of light gray granites and dark gray granodiorites. Light gray granites are composed of oligoclase (35-40%), microcline (20-25%), quartz (30-35%), and biotite (2-5%).

Low‐Carbon Composite Cement Mortar Incorporating Local Raw Materials as SCMs: Performance and Life Cycle Analysis

Journal of the American Ceramic Society, Volume 109, Issue 4, April 2026.
Overview of the experimental plan. ABSTRACT Performance and life cycle analysis of composite cement mortars developed using local conventional (blast furnace slag and fly ash) and novel non‐conventional (stone wool, glass wool, calcined Finnish clay, volcanic pozzolan Iceland, and ladle slag) raw materials as supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs)

Biotite effect on the anisotropic properties of gneiss in Eastern Himalayas, China

Journal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering
Intact rocks with layered microstructures, such as gneiss, exhibit strong anisotropy. Although anisotropy in the macroscopic strength of gneiss has been widely reported, the role of microstructures in tensile mechanics remains largely unclear.

Tephrochronology: principles, functioning, application [PDF]

, 2011
Tephrochronology is a unique method for linking and dating geological, palaeoecological, palaeoclimatic or archaeological sequences or events. The method relies firstly and fundamentally on stratigraphy and the law of superposition, which apply in any ...

Coesite Discovery in Eclogites Confirms UHP Metamorphism in the Orlica‐Śnieżnik Dome (SW Poland)

Journal of Metamorphic Geology, Volume 44, Issue 3, Page 200-225, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Eclogite lenses are exposed within the orthogneiss‐dominated core of the Orlica‐Śnieżnik Dome in the Sudetes, which forms the northeastern margin of the Bohemian Massif (Variscan Belt of Central Europe). The presence of coesite inclusions in garnet and omphacite confirms that these eclogites underwent ultrahigh‐pressure metamorphism.

Decoding Metamorphic Nanodiamonds Formation Through Their Internal Structures

Journal of Metamorphic Geology, Volume 44, Issue 3, Page 226-245, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Metamorphic diamonds offer insights into Earth's evolution, modulating the global carbon cycle through subduction into the mantle and exhumation. However, the formation and internal structure of minute diamonds remain poorly understood. Here, we study the internal structures of diamond‐bearing inclusions from the Eastern Alps using state‐of ...
