Provenance and Petrological Evolution of Sand Injection Complexes: Insights From Heavy Mineral Analysis in the Paleogene Forearc Succession of the San Joaquin Basin

Basin Research, Volume 38, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
The study of heavy mineral assemblages with statistical analysis resolves provenance signatures and quantifies syn‐emplacement modification of sand injection complexes. Results demonstrate transformative petrological processes, including density‐dependent hydraulic sorting and mechanical grain degradation.

Amapari Marker Band Metal‐Enrichments: Potential Mechanisms and Implications for Surface and Subsurface Water and Weathering in Gale Crater

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract NASA's Curiosity rover is exploring a 5 km tall sedimentary mound that is hypothesized to record the transition from a warm and wet (phyllosilicate‐rich) to a cold and drier (sulfate‐rich) Mars. Evidence of magnesium sulfate‐bearing rock has shown that Curiosity has crossed through this phyllosilicate‐sulfate transition.

Natural geochemical risk in the Pollino Massif: a case-study of chromium

Frontiers in Genetics, 2015
The geochemical risk linked to heavy metal contamination of soils and waters, commonly associated with anthropogenic causes, may, however, be linked to the presence of rocks and soils that naturally contain these metals.

The making of pure quartzose sand in continental interiors: Paraná River (Brazil and Argentina)

Sedimentology, Volume 73, Issue 3, Page 802-837, April 2026.
ABSTRACT As part of a comprehensive project on sedimentary processes in South America, this study focuses on sediment generation in the intracratonic Paraná Basin and monitors the evolution of sand composition along the Paraná River from central Brazil to the Río de la Plata estuary in Argentina.

Moon's volcanic history revealed in glassy spherules from Apollo 17 soil 76501

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 3, Page 389-404, March 2026.
Abstract Rapidly quenched droplets of pyroclastically erupted lava are common in lunar regolith at landing sites proximal to the maria. Here, we document the U‐Pb chronologies, major element, and trace element compositions of picritic glassy particles from Apollo 17 regolith sample 76501. These particles are dominated by high‐Ti compositions similar to

Al‐Khadhaf: The first camera‐observed (H5–6) meteorite fall from Oman

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 3, Page 522-547, March 2026.
Abstract A fireball camera system installed in 2022 by the Oman Meteorite Monitoring Project (OMMP) as part of the Global Fireball Observatory (GFO) recorded a 3.2 s fireball on March 8, 2022 at 8:15 p.m. UTC. A meteoroid of 4 ± 2 kg entered the atmosphere at 14.0 km/s.

Stratigraphy of Carbonate‐Bearing Rocks at the Margin of Jezero Crater, Mars: Evidence for Shoreline Processes?

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Martian carbonate‐bearing rocks are compelling targets for exploration because they preserve detailed records of past aqueous processes, climate, and habitability. The Margin unit in Jezero crater is a distinct olivine‐ and carbonate‐bearing unit stratigraphically underlying the western fan, lining the inner margin of the western crater rim ...

Formation and Alteration of Olivine‐Carbonate Rocks Within Jezero Crater as Constrained by In Situ Visible/Near‐Infrared Multispectral Images

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Olivine‐ and carbonate‐bearing rocks are key exploration targets on Mars because of the information they can provide about magma evolution and source characteristics, implications for surface water availability and climate, and their biosignature preservation potential.
