Changing Sources of Magma Generation Beneath Intra-Oceanic Islands Arcs: An Insight From the Juvenile Kohistan Island Arc, Pakistan Himalaya

, 2006
The Kohistan arc, situated in the Pakistan Himalaya, is a Cretaceous intraoceanic island arc which was initiated during the northward movement of the Indian Plate. The arc was sutured to Asia at ca. 100 Ma.

Confirmation of the impact origin of the Late Ordovician Tvären impact structure (southeast Sweden) and emplacement of impactites in a marine setting

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The Tvären structure in southeastern Sweden has been listed as a confirmed marine‐target impact structure for decades. However, to date, no measurements and/or indexed data of planar deformation features in quartz grains from the structure have been published or any other unequivocal evidence of impact.

Water budget and partial melting in an Archean crustal column: example from the Dharwar Craton, India

, 2019
The fluid budget of a composite crustal column is a critical parameter that influences many lithospheric processes. The amount of water introduced into the middle and lower crust can be quantified using phase equilibrium modelling.

Confirming the impact origin of the São Miguel do Tapuio structure, northeastern Brazil

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The São Miguel do Tapuio structure (SMT) is a remarkable, nearcircular feature of about 21 km diameter, centered at 5°37.6′ S, 41°23.3′ W in Piauí state, northeastern Brazil. The structure is located within the sedimentary strata of the Paleozoic–Mesozoic Parnaíba Basin and predominantly comprises sandstones of the Devonian Pimenteiras and ...

Araguainha Dome, Brazil: A polygonal impact structure due to a complex pre‐impact regional structural framework

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract We investigated the structural framework of the north–northwestern Paraná Basin in Brazil to test whether the pre‐impact structures in this region may have had any influence on the first‐order formation and morphostructure of the Araguainha impact structure (AIS).

Impact‐diagnostic criteria for use in confirming a meteorite impact origin of terrestrial geological structures: Recommendations by the Impact Cratering Committee of the Meteoritical Society

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The framework of the Impact Cratering Committee (ICC) of the Meteoritical Society was approved in 2020, with the first committee members appointed in 2023. The ICC has a mandate to (1) approve, maintain, and update a database of confirmed terrestrial meteorite impact structures, (2) define and regularly update the criteria used for ...

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

Meteoritics &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.

Stardust Mine: A 2024 gabbroic shergottite from Arizona, USA

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract This study provides an initial characterization of Stardust Mine, a fresh gabbroic enriched shergottite collected in Arizona, USA, in September 2024 and is the first Martian meteorite to be unequivocably collected on US soil. Analysis was conducted on the type specimen and finds that Stardust Mine is composed of equal proportions of pyroxene ...

Ductile Extrusion Triggered by Continental Collision in NE Brazil

Terra Nova, EarlyView.
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.
