Multiple Sulfur Isotope Geochemistry of the Precambrian Mafic Dykes and Komatiites in the Dharwar Craton, Southern India: Evidence for Crustal Recycling and Enrichment in the Subcontinental Lithospheric Mantle

Lithosphere, 2022
Komatiites, greenstone volcanic rocks, and mafic dyke swarms are constituents of early earth magmatic activity, crucial for understanding the chemical evolution of the Archean mantle.

Chemical Discrimination of Rutile From Different Metamorphic Source Rocks: Dealing With Hierarchical Data Structures in Random Forest Classification

Journal of Metamorphic Geology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rutile provides a wealth of petrochronological information in metamorphic geology and due to its high stability during processes of the sedimentary cycle, rutile takes a special position in sedimentary provenance analysis. Besides being one of the classical minerals datable using the U–Pb system, rutile incorporates a broad range of trace ...

Geophysical and Geochemical Evidence for a New Mafic Magmatic Province Within the Northwest Shelf of Australia

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2022
The formation of mafic magmatic provinces are significant geological events that can drive mass extinctions and continental rifting and can influence basin evolution, petroleum prospectivity and mineralization.

Zircon U-Pb ages of the mafic gneiss and leucogneiss from the Bailey Peninsula: Constraints on the timing of the tectonothermal events related to the amalgamation of Rodinia in the Windmill Islands, East Antarctica

Dizhi lixue xuebao, 2021
We report new geochronological data of the mafic gneiss and leucogneiss from the Windmill Islands, East Antarctica, in order to unravel the tectonothermal events related to the amalgamation of Rodinia. SHRIMP zircon U-Pb dating from the mafic gneiss (Hbl-

Coesite Discovery in Eclogites Confirms UHP Metamorphism in the Orlica‐Śnieżnik Dome (SW Poland)

Journal of Metamorphic Geology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Eclogite lenses are exposed within the orthogneiss‐dominated core of the Orlica‐Śnieżnik Dome in the Sudetes, which forms the northeastern margin of the Bohemian Massif (Variscan Belt of Central Europe). The presence of coesite inclusions in garnet and omphacite confirms that these eclogites underwent ultrahigh‐pressure metamorphism.

Alpine metamorphism of mafic rocks

, 1974
Metamorphosed mafic rocks in the Alps exhibit many characteristic mineral assemblages. They are used to study different phases of alpine metamorphism. The great variety of alpine metamorphosed mafic and ultramafic rocks is illustrated with a map of their distribution (plate I) and a listing showing their localities, size and thickness, metamorphic ...

Graphite crystallinity and thermal record in Campo del Cielo IAB iron meteorite: A window into impact processing on a chondritic body

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The Campo del Cielo iron meteorite (IAB‐MG) provides a unique window into early solar system processes, particularly the formation and evolution of carbon phases in non‐magmatic iron meteorites. In this study, we conducted a systematic nanostructural investigation of three distinct graphite occurrences—cliftonite (type I), interstitial ...

New evidence on the formation conditions of the Libyan Desert Glass (Western Egypt): Clues from a dendritic zircon inclusion

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Libyan Desert Glass (LDG) is an ~29 million years old, silica‐rich glass found in Western Egypt. Whether this glass formed in an impact cratering context associated with the hypervelocity collision of a cometary/asteroidal body or radiative heating during an airburst is debated. Determination of the formation temperatures and pressures of rare

Bio‐mediated cementation of supratidal beach sediments associated with groundwater springs

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The formation of beachrock, sensu stricto, via carbonate precipitation in the intertidal zone is widespread throughout the tropics and subtropics. While cementation of supratidal beach sediments has also been noted in several locations, it has received much less attention.

Heterogeneous Mantle Metasomatism Controlled by Continental Subduction: Evidence From Post‐Collisional Mafic Rocks in the North Qaidam Orogen

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems
Post‐collisional mafic rocks not only record geodynamic processes at the end of the orogenic cycle but also retain various clues regarding preceding interactions between subducted slabs and mantle wedges.
