Geodynamic Significance of Intraplate Basaltic Magmatism From the Western Mediterranean Region

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Dynamic topography changes as mantle convection evolves, making its past surface expression difficult to reconstruct. Widespread Neogene‐Quaternary intraplate basaltic magmatism across the Western Mediterranean Region allows us to test whether dated basalts preserve the mantle thermal structure responsible for regional dynamic support.

Experimental Aeolian Abrasion of Basalt Sands as an Analog for Producing Martian Dust

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Dust covers a significant portion of Mars' surface, with dust storms periodically engulfing the planet. Despite this, the origins of Martian dust are poorly understood, especially for ancient dust deposits. To address this deficit, we conducted experiments to replicate the mechanical abrasion of saltating sand grains in a Martian desert dune ...

Ancient Impact Melt Near the Lunar South Pole: Distribution, Provenance, and Sampling Strategy

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Due to a lack of pre‐Nectarian samples associated with specific impacts in the Apollo suite, the early Solar System's impact chronology is poorly constrained. We investigate where Artemis and other south polar lunar missions could sample impactites to determine the ages of pre‐Nectarian craters, focusing on the ancient craters Haworth ...

Episodic Arc Behavior in an Accretionary Orogen: Insights From the New England Orogen, Eastern Australia

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Detrital zircon U–Pb geochronology from Triassic–Jurassic basins in the New England Orogen (NEO) constrains sediment provenance and episodic continental arc evolution along the eastern Gondwanan margin. Dominant zircon clusters at 270–230 Ma and 340–300 Ma in these basins were likely sourced from contemporaneous magmatism in the NEO ...

Wari Lithic Technology on the Northern Coast of the Andes: Geochemical, 2D Geometric Morphometric, and Technological Analyses of Obsidian Bifaces From San José de Moro

Archaeometry, Volume 68, Issue 5, Page 994-1008, October 2026.
ABSTRACT This study examines Wari obsidian production in a cache of 39 bifaces found at the Late Moche site of San José de Moro (Jequetepeque Valley, North Coast of Peru, 700–850 ad). Portable X‐ray fluorescence, geometric morphometric, and technological analyses were used to investigate raw material provenance and bifacial production.

Application of Multi‐Method Dating for Understanding the Gravettian North of Moravia, Central Europe

Archaeometry, Volume 68, Issue 5, Page 1050-1061, October 2026.
ABSTRACT This article presents the results of integrating three methods to assess the age of the Upper Palaeolithic site of Pietraszyn 11 (SW Poland), close to the Moravian Gate. Sediment chronology determined using optically stimulated luminescence produced promising, yet ambiguous results (51.0 ± 3.7 to 20.3 ± 0.7 ka).

Morphometric and Paleobiological Insights Into Pleistocene Sicilian Wolf Populations

Acta Zoologica, Volume 107, Issue 4, Page 409-431, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The Pleistocene wolves (Canis lupus) from Sicily represent one of the few known insular populations of this species from that time period. Despite their potential relevance for understanding carnivore adaptations in insular contexts, no dedicated study has previously investigated their morphology and evolutionary significance.

High‐pressure phase preservation in ordinary L‐chondrite melt veins: Evidence for control by post‐shock thermal evolution

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 10, Page 2549-2566, October 2026.
Abstract This study investigates the petrography and mineralogy of three L‐type ordinary chondrite meteorites: Northwest Africa (NWA) 4137 (L6), Homestead (L5), and Kunashak (L6). We studied the shock‐related deformation features in the matrix and the characteristics of the melt veins, including the presence or absence of high‐pressure (HP) phases. Our

A Triassic chronostratigraphic and palaeogeographic framework for the Utsira High area, northern North Sea: Reconstructing a basin‐scale drainage divide

Sedimentology, Volume 73, Issue 6, Page 2417-2453, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The Triassic succession of the northern North Sea comprises a series of interbedded sandstones, mudstones and conglomerates deposited under a fluctuating arid to semi‐humid climate regime, which are often difficult to correlate regionally due to differing lithostratigraphic schemes and poor age control. Despite existing regional studies on the
