Optimization of parameters for the dissolution of Mn from manganese nodules with the use of tailings in an acid medium [PDF]
, 2019 Manganese nodules are an attractive source of base metals and critical and rare elements and are required to meet a high demand of today’s industry. In previous studies, it has been shown that high concentrations of reducing agent (Fe) in the system are ...

Morphometric and Paleobiological Insights Into Pleistocene Sicilian Wolf Populations
Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.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.

Cave Palaeolithic of the Ural Mountains – a review
Boreas, EarlyView.The Ural Mountains are of fundamental importance for studying early human migrations along the geographical limits between Europe and Asia. Geological processes and past climates gave rise to numerous caves, mostly in Palaeozoic carbonate formations.

Boreas, EarlyView.The characteristics of settlement of Neanderthals in northern Central Europe during the earlier phases of the Middle Palaeolithic (Marine Isotope Stage 8–6) have been a matter of debate for decades, specifically regarding the population dynamics at such latitudes during the coldest phases. In this paper, we review the known archaeological record of the

Trace element accumulation in Mn—Fe—oxide nodules of a planosolic horizon.
, 2005 The aim of this work was to determine the importance of nodule formation on the dynamics of major and trace elements (TEs) along a Planosol toposequence developed in metamorphic parent material at La Châtre (Massif Central, France).

Parent body thermal metamorphism of enstatite chondrites: Disentangling the effects of shock melting
Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.Abstract Enstatite chondrites (ECs) formed on at least two parent bodies, EH and EL. After the accretion of the EC parent bodies, EC material was subjected to varying degrees of parent body thermal metamorphism (measured by petrologic types 3–6), due to heat released by radioactive isotope decay.
