Magma Mixing Processes in a Continental Collision Zone: Insights From Mineralogical and Geochemical Constraints

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Eocene magmatism in southern Tibet records deep geodynamic processes associated with the India‐Asia collision. The Quxu batholith, a representative segment of the Gangdese magmatic belt, hosts widespread mafic microgranular enclaves (MMEs) indicating magma mixing.

Constraining the Effects of Pre- and Post-accretionary Processes on Ryugu Insoluble Organic Matter

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Asteroidal and cometary fragments have been indicated as possible sources of the building blocks of life for the early Earth. Samples returned from the asteroid Ryugu are uncontaminated and contain organic matter.

The Magnetic Mineralogy of Carbonaceous Chondrites: A Microscopy and Machine Learning Study of Meteorite WIS 91600

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract A central challenge in the paleomagnetic study of meteorites is to characterize their diverse remanence carriers. Here, we develop a machine‐learning assisted workflow that combines multi‐scale (mm to nm) and multi‐dimensional (2D‐3D) microscopy to build a comprehensive picture of ferromagnetic mineralogy in the C2 ungrouped carbonaceous ...

Replication Data for: Origin of Isotopic Diversity among Carbonaceous Chondrites [PDF]

open access: yes
Carbonaceous chondrites are some of the most primitive meteorites and derive from planetesimals that formed a few million years after the beginning of the solar system.

Surface Geology and Evolution of Asteroid Ryugu: Insights From Hayabusa2 Global Mapping

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Rubble‐pile asteroids, characterized by loose aggregates of debris held together by gravity, represent both a significant planetary hazard and a key to understanding planetesimal formation. Geologic mapping of these bodies provides essential insights into their origins, evolution, and surface processes.

Single chondrule K-Ar and Pb-Pb ages of Mexican ordinary chondrites as tracers of extended impact events

open access: yesRevista Mexicana de Ciencias Geológicas, 2018
There is a good consensus about the age of the most primitive materials in the Solar System represented by carbonaceous chondrites. From these, a canonical age of the Solar System of 4567 Ma has been defined.

Emplacement of Hybrid Continental‐Oceanic Arc Terranes Without Collision: The Devonian Calliope Arc (New England Orogen, Australia)

open access: yesTectonics, Volume 45, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract The accretion of allochthonous provinces, derived from oceanic plates, has traditionally been considered an important contributor to continental growth. However, increasing evidence shows that some oceanic terranes (e.g., island arcs) are not “exotic,” as suggested by the presence of continental‐derived sedimentary provenance.

Evidence of Microfossils in Carbonaceous Chondrites [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
Investigations have been carried out on freshly broken, internal surfaces of the Murchison, Efremovka and Orgueil carbonaceous chondrites using Scanning Electron Microscopes (SEM) in Russia and the Environmental Scanning Electron Microscope (ESEM) in the

Testing the Bus–DeMeo Asteroid Taxonomy Using Meteorite Spectra

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
The most widely used method to spectrally classify asteroids is the Bus–DeMeo taxonomy. To test how well the Bus–DeMeo taxonomy groups asteroids on the basis of their mineralogy, we have classified ∼1500 meteorite spectra using this Bus–DeMeo system ...
