Highly Enriched and Heterogeneous Mantle Signals Recorded in Mantle Pyroxenite Veins
Abstract The Earth's mantle is inherently heterogeneous, reflecting ongoing mantle depletion and crustal recycling driven by plate tectonics. Radiogenic isotopes in oceanic basalts are commonly used to characterize mantle reservoirs, but the full chemical diversity of mantle‐derived melts may be obscured by magma mixing during melt transport and ...

Seafloor Displacements Across the Mid‐Ocean Ridge Eruption Cycle Modulated by Mush Zone Viscosity
Abstract Mid‐ocean ridges (MORs) are active volcanic systems where axial magma lenses (AMLs) are replenished on decadal time scales, enabling frequent dike intrusions. The associated seafloor deformation, however, remains scarcely understood. Here we assess this deformation by simulating cycles of steady AML inflation followed by instantaneous dike ...

ABSTRACT The Paleoproterozoic Talvivaara mudstone is a very large sulfidic Ni‐Co deposit that records enhanced organic matter accumulation during the global Shunga Event. Here, rock geochemistry and microscale S and Fe isotope composition of in situ pyrrhotites and pyrites are studied in well‐characterised, well‐preserved drill core samples.

The Seismic Expression of Core Complex‐Style Extensional Detachment Faults in Rifted Margins
ABSTRACT The identification of core complex‐style extensional detachment faults (CCDFs) in rifted margins is crucial for accurately restoring their stratigraphic and thermal histories. Yet recognising CCDFs in seismic reflection images is challenging due to their faint topographic expression; the lack of associated abrupt offset in seismic reflections;

Ductile Extrusion Triggered by Continental Collision in NE Brazil
ABSTRACT The Borborema Province in northeastern Brazil hosts one of the world's largest strike‐slip shear zone networks, active during the late Neoproterozoic assembly of West Gondwana. Whether these shear zones initiated during active continental collision or as a post‐orogenic response to far‐field stresses remains debated.

Emergence of Continents Stabilized the Bioavailability of Boron
ABSTRACT Boron is an essential element for the development of life on Earth; borates stabilize ribose in prebiotic reactions and facilitate metabolism in higher plants. There is, however, a relatively narrow surface boron concentration range over which borates stabilize and serve as a micronutrient rather than a toxin.
