Crystal size and shape distribution systematics of plagioclase and the determination of crystal residence times in the micromonzogabbros of Qisir Dagh, SE of Sabalan volcano (NW Iran) [PDF]
The Qisir Dagh igneous complex occurs as a combination of volcanic and intrusive rocks to the south-east of the Sabalan volcano, north-western Iran. Micromonzogabbroic rocks in the region consist of plagioclase, alkaline feldspar and clinopyroxene as the

Abstract Viscosity of silicate melts governs magma transport and influences mantle dynamics, yet effects of pressure and water on melt viscosity remain poorly understood. Here, we report in situ falling‐sphere viscosity measurements on diopside (Di) melts with 0–3 wt.% H2O along the liquidus up to 7 GPa and 2103 K using synchrotron X‐ray radiography ...

Origin and evolution of the deep thermochemical structure beneath Eurasia [PDF]
A unique structure in the Earth’s lowermost mantle, the Perm Anomaly, was recently identified beneath Eurasia. It seismologically resembles the large low-shear velocity provinces (LLSVPs) under Africa and the Pacific, but is much smaller. This challenges

Primitive magmas in the Emeishan Large Igneous Province, southwestern China and northern Vietnam
There are several places in the Emeishan Large Igneous Province (ELIP) where highly magnesian volcanic or intrusive rocks accompany more abundant flood basalts. The high-Mg rocks vary in composition from LREE-depleted, low-Ti komatiites to LREE-enriched, high-Ti picrites.

ABSTRACT Structurally controlled hydrothermal dolomitization, commonly driven by high‐pressure, high‐temperature fluid–rock reactions, offers insights into the tectonic evolution of sedimentary basins and the geochemical composition of their diagenetic fluids.

Comparison of γ-ray spectrometry and ICP-MS methods for measuring radioactive heat-producing elements of rocks: a case study on borehole samples from the Sichuan Basin, China [PDF]
We compared the consistency of γ-ray spectrometry and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry by analyzing measurement results of the radioactive heat-producing elements U, Th, and K from borehole samples.

Chemical heterogeneity of the Emeishan mantle plume: Evidence from highly siderophile element abundances in picrites [PDF]
Highly magnesian lavas or picrites have the potential to preserve important information about the origin and thermochemical state of the mantle source(s) of large igneous provinces.

Assessing the Reliability of the Pseudo‐Thellier Estimates in Fired Ceramics and Source Clays
Abstract The geomagnetic field's intensity is key to understanding the Earth's core dynamics and their surface impacts. While the Thellier–Thellier method remains the standard for recovering absolute paleointensity from baked materials, it is time‐consuming and may alter magnetic mineralogy due to heating cycles. The pseudo‐Thellier method offers a non‐

Abstract Massive submarine basalt flows were sampled at five sites on the Tristan‐Gough‐Walvis hotspot track in the South Atlantic by International Oceanic Discovery Program Expeditions 391/397T, where the plume was interacting with a mid‐ocean ridge, a setting similar to that the of modern Iceland.
