Investigating Layered Cratonic Lithosphere in the Fennoscandian Shield
Abstract Cold, thick, and chemically depleted lithosphere with high seismic velocity and low attenuation characterizes continental cratons. However, discrepancies between xenolith‐based thermal constraints and those inferred from surface‐wave seismic models, together with the widespread observation of mid‐lithosphere discontinuities, challenge the ...

Introduction Clinopyroxene is one of the most common of the rock forming minerals. Its long formation period (from the earliest crystallization of magma in the core of phenocrysts to the final microcrystalline crystallization in the rock background) can

Abstract A better understanding of how trace element partition coefficients vary with melt and mineral composition, temperature, pressure, oxygen fugacity and fluid composition is essential to geochemical modeling of magmatic rocks. The Nernst partition coefficient D is the ratio of the concentration (by weight) of a trace element in a solid phase ...

Magnetic anisotropy in clinopyroxene and orthopyroxene single crystals [PDF]
Pyroxenes constitute an important component in mafic igneous and metamorphic rocks. They often possess a prismatic habit, and their long axis, the crystallographic c axis, helps define a lineation in a textured rock. Anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility

Abstract The mechanisms by which new subduction zones form remain highly debated. Here we use Permo‐Triassic strata to evaluate potential mechanisms for initiation of the Talkeetna‐Bonanza Arc of the northern North American Cordillera. New mapping and analysis of Permian and Upper Triassic strata on the Alaska Peninsula suggest a period of uplift ...

Petrological features of Subei Basin (Eastern China) lithospheric mantle and their relationships with H2O contents in NAMs [PDF]
The Subei basin is located east of the Tanlu fault, a major discontinuity which separates the Archean North China Craton from the Proterozoic Yangtze Craton.

The effect of fluorine on clinopyroxene/melt trace-element partitioning
International audienceThe impact of fluorine on phase relations and clinopyroxene-melt element partitioning has been explored experimentally to better understand the effect of this halogen on the residual enrichment of the REE and HFSE during ...

Crystal growth of clinopyroxene in mafic alkaline magmas
Recent experimental and natural studies have shown that igneous crystals can start to crystallize through skeletal or dendritic growth, and then backfill progressively to form polyhedral crystal morphologies, in contrast to the traditional tree-ring ...

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 ...

Crystallographic orientations and timing relationships of clinopyroxene inclusions in diamond [PDF]
Diamonds are the deepest “fragments” of the primordial Earth that reach the Earth’s surface after traveling a long path through the interior of our planet.
