Abstract Modeling processes within Earth's and other planetary bodies' mantle requires constraints from phase equilibrium to infer how changes in phase abundance and composition affect physical properties and geochemical processes. When applying such thermodynamic models on a planetary scale, performance becomes especially crucial.

Towards improving the single grain clinopyroxene geobarometer for garnet peridotites
Exploration methods for diamonds often employ the geochemistry of single minerals to identify deposits. Due to the scarcity of diamonds, exploration practices use minerals known as “kimberlite indicator minerals” as these minerals are typically more ...

Provenance Reassessment of Eocene Turbidites, New Caledonia: Inferences for Obduction Models
Provenance of pre‐obduction Eocene turbidites from New Caledonia is used to better constrain their geodynamic context and inform debate on subduction polarity.

The Lages diatremes: mineral composition and petrological implications
Chemical data of heavy minerals from Lages diatremes in southern Brazil have been studied with the aim of characterizing the sample source(s). Three groups of minerals are recognized: I) aluminian-chromian pyroxene, pyrope garnet and chromian spinel ...

Mineral chemistry, thermobarometry and tectonomagmatic setting of Late-Cretaceous volcanic rocks from the Kojid area (south of Lahijan, northern Alborz) [PDF]
The volcanic rocks of Kojid area (south of Lahijan) crop out in northern Alborz. They show mainly pillow structure with numerous cross-cutting dykes. Based on lithostratigraphic relationships and interpillow pelagic limestones, the volcanics are Late ...

The Role of Chlorate‐Driven Oxidative Weathering in Shaping Clay Deposits on Mars
Abstract Oxidized clays and the widespread Al/Si‐over‐Fe/Mg stratigraphy on Mars imply prolonged water‐rock interactions and efficient oxidative weathering despite the largely anoxic conditions of Early Mars when most deposits formed during the climate optimum.

FLUORINE PARTITIONING BETWEEN QUADRILATERAL CLINOPYROXENES AND MELT
Abstract Concentrations of fluorine and chlorine were measured in glasses (quenched melts) and coexisting clinopyroxene, orthopyroxene, olivine, and plagioclase in run products of experiments previously used to measure sulfur partitioning between these phases.

Abstract Oceanic Core Complexes (OCCs) in back‐arc basins are not as thoroughly investigated, and their termination processes remain poorly understood. The Godzilla Megamullion is the largest known ceased OCC on Earth, yet magmatic and hydrothermal records from its termination are lacking.

Alkaline volcanic rocks from explosive monogenetic centers often carry an unusual cargo of crystals and rock fragments, which may provide valuable constraints on magma source, ascent and eruption.
