A Gravity Study of the Crustal Structure Beneath the Young Amagmatic Rukwa‐Tanganyika Rift Zone
Abstract The Rukwa‐Tanganyika Rift Zone (RTRZ), experiencing multiphase rifting, forms the nonvolcanic southern part of the Western Branch of the East African Rift. We investigate the crustal structure beneath the RTRZ to understand how strain migrates beneath multiphase rifts.

Abstract The phosphates, apatite and merrillite, are accessory phases in all martian meteorites. Although apatite is commonly used to assess volatile content and speciation in martian meteorites, merrillite is at least twice as abundant in most samples, but poorly understood. Given that shergottites are divided into enriched, intermediate, and depleted

About interrelation of structure of an anomalous geochemical field with the mechanism of formation of hydrothermal system [PDF]
The model of formation of anomalous structures of geochemical fields during formation of thermo-fluidic ore-forming system is proposed. The morphology of these fields is caused by the combination of diverged mineral zonation in relation to a power source

Alteration is a common metamorphic process in igneous formations and recorded geological information in different times and spaces. Owing to its unique location, the igneous rocks of the buried hills in the northern South China Sea exhibit complex ...

Protoliths and phase petrology of whiteschists [PDF]
Whiteschists appear in numerous high- and ultrahigh-pressure rock suites and are characterized by the mineral assemblage kyanite+talc (+-quartz or coesite).

Oxide Gabbros: Transformation From Oceanic Ridge‐Transform Systems to Subduction
Abstract Fluid composition and fluxes in subduction zones are primarily governed by the nature and degree of hydrothermal alteration of the subducting oceanic lithosphere. However, spatial and temporal heterogeneities inherited from mid‐ocean ridge and oceanic transform fault (OTF) systems introduce significant uncertainties in constraining these fluid

The importance of talc and chlorite "hybrid” rocks for volatile recycling through subduction zones; evidence from the high-pressure subduction mélange of New Caledonia [PDF]
The transfer of fluid and trace elements from the slab to the mantle wedge cannot be adequately explained by simple models of slab devolatilization. The eclogite-facies mélange belt of northern New Caledonia represents previously subducted oceanic crust ...

Abstract Mantle xenoliths recovered from the modern backarc region of the northern Altiplano Plateau record metasomatism by slab‐derived silicic melts, and a suite of Quaternary volcanics suggest that melting of accreted crustal material has persisted since shallow subduction in the Oligocene.

Contact Metamorphism in Southern California [PDF]
A highly condensed introduction to "Contact metamorphism in southern California" is obviously not the place in which to indulge in semantic niceties nor to engage in terminological tussles, and thus the title is not intended to reflect a carefully ...

The structure and petrology of the Cnoc nan Cuilean Intrusion, Loch Loyal Syenite Complex, NW Scotland [PDF]
In NW Scotland, several alkaline intrusive complexes of Silurian age intrude the Caledonian orogenic front. The most northerly is the Loch Loyal Syenite Complex, which is divided into three separate intrusions (Ben Loyal, Beinn Stumanadh and Cnoc nan ...
