Abstract Refractory inclusions (RIs) in chondrites are widely used as tracers of early solar system formation conditions. In the context of sample‐return missions, a non‐destructive and non‐invasive analytical tool that can rapidly detect and characterize RIs in space samples during their early phase of study is highly needed.

Trace element and isotope constraints on crustal anatexis by upwelling mantle melts in the North Atlantic Igneous Province: an example form the Isle of Rum, NW Scotland [PDF]
Sr and Nd isotope ratios, together with lithophile trace elements, have been measured in a representative set of igneous rocks and Lewisian gneisses from the Isle of Rum in order to unravel the petrogenesis of the felsic rocks that erupted in the early ...

A feasibility assessment of micromill sampling for Rb‐Sr and Sm‐Nd geochronology of shergottites
Abstract Accurate dating of Martian meteorites is crucial for understanding key events in the planet's evolution. However, not all Martian meteorites are amenable to dating techniques currently in use for these rocks. The priority of sample preservation precludes mineral separation methods for low‐volume specimens, whereas the less destructive in situ ...

Harry Hess and sea-floor spreading [PDF]
Harry Hess's hypothesis of sea-floor spreading brought together his long-standing interests in island arcs, oceanic topography, and the oceanic crust. The one unique feature of Hess's hypothesis was the origin of the oceanic crust as a hydration rind on ...

Asymmetric continental deformation during South Atlantic rifting along southern Brazil and Namibia [PDF]
Plate restoration of South America and Africa to their pre-breakup position faces the problem of gaps and overlaps between the continents, an issue commonly solved with implementing intra-plate deformation zones within South America.

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

: The ultramafic massif of Feragen, which belongs to the eastern ophiolitic belt of Norway, has abundant amounts of chromite ores. Recent studies have revealed a complex melt evolution in a supra-subduction zone (SSZ) environment. This study presents new
