The Material Basis of 18th‐Century Meissen Porcelain

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the summer of 1708, the quest for making hard‐paste porcelain from Saxonian clay and other mineral resources succeeded. This was achieved by applying as its essential ingredient newly discovered pure kaolin from Heidelsberg near Aue, western Saxon Ore Mountains.

Rift‐Related Low‐Pressure–High‐Temperature Granulite Facies Metamorphism Generates Widespread Peraluminous Crustal Melts: Evidence From the Early Jurassic Mexican Crust

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems
High heat fluxes occurring in rift settings are expected to generate partially melted low‐pressure–high‐temperature granulites (LP–HTG). Therefore, studying these rocks can offer valuable insights into crustal reworking during extension.

Identifying the pre‐Odra river system with hydroacoustic and seismic reflection imagery offshore Rügen Island, southern Baltic Sea

Boreas, EarlyView.
Understanding the course and dynamics of ancient river systems, such as the pre‐Odra, provides valuable insights into the post‐glacial evolution of landscapes and riverine processes. The northwest‐trending pre‐Odra was an important drainage system of the European mainland into the Baltic Basin during and after the Scandinavian Ice Sheet retreat ...

Peralkaline Felsic Magmatism of the Atlantic Islands

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2018
The oceanic-island magmatic systems of the Atlantic Ocean exhibit significant diversity in their respective sizes, ages, and the compositional ranges of their eruptive products.

Modelling the controls on melt generation during continental extension and breakup

, 2008
Rifting is the process that leads to the formation of oceans. Rifting is the break up ofcontinents, leading to the formation of new oceanic floor between the two continentalplates.

Thorncliffe Formation: A proglacial to subglacial lacustrine basin sequence, Greater Toronto Region, Canada

Boreas, EarlyView.
Map of Lower sediment (LS) thickness is a surrogate for the distribution of Thorncliffe Formation (TF) and ~75% of TF thickness from the slope of Niagara Escarpment east to Brighton. Inset images show the LS sequence at the Don Valleys brickyards (DVBY) and undeformed TF sand and gravel (~15 m) below Newmarket Till (NT) at sites L and Co.

Giant lithium-rich pegmatites in Archean cratons form by remelting refertilised roots of greenstone belts

Communications Earth & Environment
Around 80% of the world’s hard-rock lithium supply comes from pegmatites formed in the Archean Eon, yet our understanding of how Lithium-pegmatites form assumes magma source compositions not relevant to those Archean cratons hosting most of the giant ...

The Basalt-Eclogite Phase Transition on Venus: Implications for Crustal Recycling and Partial Melting

, 2023
On Venus, the transition to eclogite, characterised by the disappearance of plagioclase in favour of denser pyroxene and garnet, can play an important role for crustal delamination.

Resolving Micrometre‐Scale Zircon Growth in Silicic Systems by 7 μm LA‐MC‐ICP‐MS U‐Pb Dating: Linking Petrology and Geochronology in Silicic Volcanic and Granitic Rocks from Victoria, Australia

Geostandards and Geoanalytical Research, EarlyView.
Key Points 7 μm spot‐diameter LA‐MC‐ICP‐MS analyses yield accurate zircon U‐Pb ages. 1013 Ω amplifier resistors improve low‐signal Pb measurements. Saturn correction protocols minimise down‐hole fractionation effects. We present a systematic evaluation of high spatial‐resolution zircon U‐Pb dating using a Thermo Scientific Neoma multi‐collector ICP‐MS ...
