The potential of obsidian "big data"
Studies of obsidian provenance have been a core component of the archaeological sciences from the mid-1960s onward. With the growing application of portable X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometers (PXRF) in obsidian research, the number of such studies, and the

ABSTRACT The pressure–temperature–time (P–T–t) evolution of a metapelitic ultrahigh‐temperature (UHT) granulite from Rundvågshetta (Lützow–Holm Complex, East Antarctica) and chemical evolution of partial melt during the prograde metamorphism up to UHT metamorphism are studied in detail.

Importation of Obsidian at Cerro Palenque, Honduras: Results of an Analysis by EDXRF
The results of source analysis by EDXRF of obsidian artifacts from the Mesoamerican site of Cerro Palenque in Honduras are reported and changes over time discussed. Sources of obsidian include Ixtepeque, El Chayal, Jalapa, San Martin Jilotepeque, and San

Fault textures in volcanic conduits: evidence for seismic trigger mechanisms during silicic eruptions. [PDF]
It is proposed that fault textures in two dissected rhyolitic conduits in Iceland preserve evidence for shallow seismogenic faulting within rising magma during the emplacement of highly viscous lava flows. Detailed field and petrographic analysis of such

Abstract (Titano)magnetite is the major magnetic carrier in igneous rocks, whether it can decode the influence of subduction fluids and fractional crystallization characteristics in back‐arc basins is unclear. Here, we performed petrographic and magnetic analyses on volcanic samples from the Okinawa Trough, with titanomagnetite as the dominant magnetic

Character of the opposition effect and negative polarization [PDF]
Photometric and polarimetric properties at small phase angles were measured for silicates with controlled surface properties in order to distinguish properties that are associated with surface reflection from those that are associated with multiple ...

Tracing the source of obsidian from prehistoric sites in Bulgaria
Portable X-ray fluorescence (pXRF) spectrometry was used to obtain source determinations for 11 obsidian artefacts from five archaeological sites in Bulgaria. The results show that all the archaeological specimens can be linked to obsidian sources in the

Abstract The interplay between lithospheric strength contrast and tectonic compression by relative plate motion drives buckling instability. Analysis of lithospheric buckling with plate tectonic history is essential for inferring lithospheric strength.
