Linking Tectonics and Cratonic Vertical Motions: Deep‐Time Thermochronology Reveals >1,000 Myr of Low‐Temperature Conditions in Southeastern Finland

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract The Fennoscandian Shield potentially hosts the longest continuous habitable conditions for Earth's deep biosphere. Billion‐year equilibrium freeboard conditions of cratons and the longevity of deep biosphere microbial communities are directly related through the thermal histories of rocks that host these communities.

Sulfur Isotope Constraints on the Petrogenesis of the Kimberley Kimberlites

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2021
Cretaceous kimberlites in southern Africa have been suggested to host deeply subducted material in their mantle sources based on radiogenic isotope systematics. However, potential subducted material contributions to the volatile budget, including sulfur,

Corundum Discovered by SuperCam and the Perseverance Rover at Jezero Crater, Mars

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract Mars is primarily composed of mafic mineral assemblages and their alteration products, but small, scattered rocks strewn across the landscape offer clues to greater petrological diversity. While traversing the Jezero crater rim, the Perseverance rover encountered several plagioclase‐rich light‐toned float rocks.

Degassing structures in volcaniclastic kimberlite: Examples from southern African kimberlite pipes

, 2008
Kimberlite pipes are commonly filled with a distinctive structureless facies termed volcaniclastic kimberlite (previously also termed Tuffisitic Kimberlite Breccia, TKB), which constitutes a thorough mix of both juvenile material and lithic clasts ...

Kamafugite Magma Pathways and Lava‐Flow Paleotopography From Three‐Dimensional Audiomagnetotelluric Imaging Constrained by Borehole Data

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract An audiomagnetotelluric (AMT) survey was conducted within the Alto Paranaíba Igneous Province, southeastern Brazil, to delineate shallow occurrences of kamafugite, a rare ultrapotassic volcanic rock worldwide. A dense grid of AMT stations was deployed, allowing the construction of a high‐resolution 3D electrical resistivity model ...

The Complexity of Deep Aqueous Fluids in Planetary Ultramafic Mantles

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Planetary volatiles cycle through a planet's crust, mantle, and atmosphere, playing a crucial role in surface processes and habitability. Discussions of planetary volatiles traditionally focus on water, carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur, but fluids in contact with silicate rocks and ultramafic mantles can contain significant amounts of magnesium ...

Geochemistry and petrology of two kimberlites at Krishtipadu from Gooty cluster, Andhra Pradesh, southern India - evidence of kimberlite magmatism and a possible carbonatite association within Palaeoproterozoic lower Cuddapah basin

Russian Journal of Earth Sciences, 2020
This paper addresses geochemical and petrological aspects of two outcropping kimberlites (5023 and 5119) of the Gooty cluster, emplaced in carbonate sediments of Vempalli Formation of lower Cuddapah basin at Krishtipadu, Anantapur district, Andhra ...

Emplacement of Hybrid Continental‐Oceanic Arc Terranes Without Collision: The Devonian Calliope Arc (New England Orogen, Australia)

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract The accretion of allochthonous provinces, derived from oceanic plates, has traditionally been considered an important contributor to continental growth. However, increasing evidence shows that some oceanic terranes (e.g., island arcs) are not “exotic,” as suggested by the presence of continental‐derived sedimentary provenance.

Polymict melt‐bearing breccia dikes in the Morokweng impact structure formed by slip‐induced mechanical mixing of pseudotachylite and cataclasite along large‐displacement impact faults

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 7, Page 1288-1308, July 2026.
Abstract A core drilled through shocked and faulted Archean granitoid gneisses and dolerites in the eroded peak ring of the 70–80 km diameter Morokweng impact structure intersects multiple centimeter‐ to meter‐wide clastic‐matrix breccias containing a polymict clast population of lithic and mineral clasts and altered, millimeter‐ to centimeter ‐size ...

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, Volume 61, Issue 7, Page 1538-1565, July 2026.
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 ...
