COMPLICATED THERMAL HISTORY OF THE LITHOSPHERIC MANTLE OF THE ANABAR REGION: RECONSTRUCTIONS BASED ON XENOCRYSTS FROM KIMBERLITES

open access: yesГеодинамика и тектонофизика
The thermal history and thickness of the lithospheric mantlebeneath the kimberlite fields of the Eastern Anabar shield and adjacent territories of the Siberian craton were reconstructed based on the composition of clinopyroxene xenocrysts from the ...

Partitioning of chromium between garnet and clinopyroxene: first-principle modelling versus metamorphic assemblages [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Mineralogy, 2020
Understanding the geochemical behaviour of trace and minor elements in mineral assemblages is of primary importance to study small- and large-scale geological processes.

Heterogeneous Exhumation Mechanisms in Neoproterozoic Collisional Metamorphism: P–T Constraints From Pelotas and Punta del Este Terranes, Southern Brazil and Uruguay

open access: yesGeological Journal, EarlyView.
Petrography, thermobarometry, and pseudosection modelling reveal peak metamorphic conditions of 3–7.5 kbar and 520°C–800°C in Tonian‐Cryogenian orthogneisses of the Dom Feliciano Belt. Metamorphic field gradients of 27°C/km–39°C/km and variable exhumation mechanisms support correlation of these units as remnants of a Himalayan‐type Piratini Orogeny ...

Magmatic characteristics and crystallization condition of the Gasht- Masuleh gabbros (North of Iran) based on clinopyroxene and orthopyroxene composition [PDF]

open access: yesپترولوژی, 2019
The Alborz Range, as a part of the Alpine-Himalayan orogeny, formed during the Cimmerian orogeny due to northward movements of the Central Iran micro-plate towards Eurasia.

Supra-subduction melt modification of the fossil subcontinental lithospheric mantle: insights from ultra-depleted Khara-Nur ophiolitic peridotites (Eastern Sayan, central Asian orogenic belt)

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2023
Mantle peridotites from the Mesoproterozoic forearc-type ophiolites in the Eastern Sayan range (Eastern Siberia) provide insights into the nature and formation processes of the supra-subduction mantle.

Mortars From Punic and Hellenistic–Roman Solunto: Materials, Formulations, and Technology

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study presents an archaeometric investigation of 18 hydraulic rendering and bedding mortars from Punic and Hellenistic–Roman Solunto (NW Sicily). The research aimed to characterize raw materials, reconstruct manufacturing sequences, and evaluate technological proficiency through mineralogical and petrochemical analyses.

(Ultra)high‐Pressure Metamorphism in Sedimentary Versus Basaltic Rocks: Insights From a Variscan Mélange in the South Carpathians

open access: yesJournal of Metamorphic Geology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Reconstructing the pressure–temperature–time (P–T–t) evolution of (ultra)high‐pressure rocks is essential for constraining subduction and collisional dynamics. Subduction zones are often investigated using basic eclogites, whereas nonbasic high‐pressure rocks remain comparatively understudied, potentially hindering a comprehensive ...

Deep Magma Storage Revealed by Multi-Method Elemental Mapping of Clinopyroxene Megacrysts at Stromboli Volcano

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2019
The magmatic architecture and physicochemical processes inside volcanoes influence the style and timescale of eruptions. A long-standing challenge in volcanology is to establish the rates and depths of magma storage and the events that trigger eruption ...

LifeMet: Report on the 2024–2025 meteorite recovery expedition in Dronning Maud Land, Antarctica for the study of microbe–meteorite interactions

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Since the discovery of nine meteorites near the Yamato mountains in 1969, Antarctica has been recognized as a superb location for meteorite recovery. While Antarctic recovery expeditions prioritize meteorite preservation for mineralogical and planetary studies, meteorites are not typically collected for biological applications.

Mineral associations in the rocks and metamorphism conditions of the Kandalaksha gabbro-anorthosite massif (Kola Peninsula)

open access: yesЛитосфера, 2016
The composition of mineral associations was studied in the main varieties of the rocks within the metamorphosed Kandalaksha gabbro-anorthosite massif in the southern part of the Kola Peninsula.
