Sintering polycrystalline olivine and polycrystalline clinopyroxene containing trace amount of graphite from natural crystals

Earth, Planets and Space, 2017
Graphite-bearing polycrystalline olivine and polycrystalline clinopyroxene with submicron to micron grain size were successfully sintered from a single crystal of naturally occurring olivine (Fo88–92Fa12–8: Mg1.76–1.84Fe0.16–0.24SiO4) and a single ...

Distinct Transcrustal Evolutions of Komatiitic Primitive Magma: Implications for the Compositional Dichotomy of Continental Flood Basalts

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The origin of the compositional dichotomy between high‐Ti and low‐Ti basalts in continental flood basalt provinces remains debated. Most existing studies attribute this dichotomy directly to variations in primitive magma composition to circumvent the complexities of significant evolutionary processes, such as multiphase fractional ...

Minerals in Iron and Titanium Skeletal Textures in Nakhlites MIL 090030, MIL 090136, MIL 090032, and MIL 03346: Comparative Analysis With Terrestrial Analogues From Canary Islands, Spain

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The presence of minor minerals is a key factor distinguishing meteorite types, as they provide valuable insights into the formation processes, surface conditions, and evolutionary history of their parent bodies. In Martian nakhlites, one of the most distinctive minor phases is iron‐titanium oxides forming characteristic skeletal textures ...

Subduction Initiation and Early Subduction Zone Development: Insights From the P–T–t Path of the Bay of Islands Metamorphic Sole

Journal of Metamorphic Geology, Volume 44, Issue 7, Page 510-536, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The processes involved during subduction initiation (SI) remain poorly constrained, in part due to the rarity of geological archives. Ophiolites and their underlying metamorphic soles are thought to form during subduction zone infancy and may thus provide critical constraints. Metamorphic soles are derived from oceanic crust of the lower plate

Clinopyroxene precursors to amphibole sponge in arc crust [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2014
AbstractThe formation of amphibole cumulates beneath arc volcanoes is a key control on magma geochemistry, and generates a hydrous lower crust. Despite being widely inferred from trace element geochemistry as a major lower crustal phase, amphibole is neither abundant nor common as a phenocryst phase in arc lavas and erupted pyroclasts, prompting some ...

Ductile Extrusion Triggered by Continental Collision in NE Brazil

Terra Nova, Volume 38, Issue 4, Page 266-277, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The Borborema Province in northeastern Brazil hosts one of the world's largest strike‐slip shear zone networks, active during the late Neoproterozoic assembly of West Gondwana. Whether these shear zones initiated during active continental collision or as a post‐orogenic response to far‐field stresses remains debated.

From Magma to Atmosphere: Halogen Fluxes During Volcanic Eruptions

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 14, 28 July 2026.
Abstract Volcanic eruptions release significant quantities of volatile elements into the atmosphere and stratosphere. Plinian eruptions are particularly efficient at dispersing these elements due to their large magma volumes and high eruption columns.

Comparative compressibility of clinopyroxenes from mantle nodules

European Journal of Mineralogy, 1995
The comparative compressibilities of two clinopyroxenes from mantle nodules were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction with a Merrill-Bassett diamond anvil cell. The analysed crystals show different chemical compositions: PC 135, from a spinel lherzolitic nodule from Pico Cabugi, NE Brazil, has more R3+ (Fe3+ + VIA1 + Ti + Cr) in the Ml site ...

Calcium Solubility of Bridgmanite in Subducted Basalt in Earth's Lower Mantle

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 14, 28 July 2026.
Abstract The calcium solubility in bridgmanite and the resulting abundance of davemaoite under lower‐mantle pressure‐temperature conditions have been under debate following a recent report of extensive calcium dissolution in bridgmanite. We experimentally investigated the calcium solubility in bridgmanite in a basaltic composition at pressures up to ...
