Fracture-related intracrystalline transformation of olivine to ringwoodite in the shocked Sixiangkou meteorite

, 2006
Magnesium-iron olivine in the Sixiangkou L6 chondrite contains abundant fractures induced by plastic deformation during shock metamorphism. This study reports the discovery of lamellar ringwoodite that incoherently nucleated and grew along planar and ...

Reaction‐Driven Development of Fine‐Grained Plagioclase Networks Influences the Rheology of the Crust in the Bergen Arcs, Norway

Journal of Metamorphic Geology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the middle to lower continental crust, mineral reactions can play a key role in controlling rheological behaviour by generating fine‐grained, mechanically weak domains. In granulite‐facies rocks from Krossøy (Bergen Arcs, Norway), we document how garnet breakdown produced interconnected networks of orthopyroxene + plagioclase ± spinel that ...

Fine slab structure and mechanism of deep earthquakes beneath central Japan

Communications Earth & Environment
Deep-focus earthquakes (> 300 km depth) are widely distributed in global subduction zones, but their mechanism is still debated because the fine structure of deep subducting slabs is unclear.

Forming Olivine Phenocrysts in Basalt: A 3D Characterization of Growth Rates in Laboratory Experiments

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2019
Our current knowledge of the genesis, ascent, storage, and eruption of mafic magmas is intimately linked with olivine, its primary crystal cargo. Recent claims that phenocryst-size crystals can grow rapidly and non-concentrically are challenging our ...

New knowledge about shock events that affected the L‐chondrite parent body from two heavily shocked L6 meteorite finds

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract We report new results from a study of shock‐related features in the L6 ordinary chondrites Northwest Africa (NWA) 4672 and NWA 12841. Our observations confirm the occurrence of eight high‐pressure (HP) minerals in each meteorite, namely, ringwoodite, majorite, akimotoite, wadsleyite, albitic jadeite, lingunite, tuite, and xieite.

Visible, near‐, and thermal infrared spectra of asteroid Bennu samples: Relationship to and implications for remote sensing of carbonaceous asteroids

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Remote spectroscopy is used to characterize the mineralogy and infer the history of planetary bodies. Carbonaceous asteroids, such as B‐type (101955) Bennu, represent the earliest stages of planet formation. B types have a blue (negative) spectral slope and comprise <5% of asteroids.

No olivine in the mantle?

Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1984
Perhaps the most impressive factors in D.L. Anderson's analysis of new physical models of the earth are contributions from the numerous disciplines of modern geophysics, including 3‐dimensional seismological observations, high‐pressure experiments, highly precise isotope analyses, and studies of other solar system bodies [Science, 223, pp.

LifeMet: Report on the 2024–2025 meteorite recovery expedition in Dronning Maud Land, Antarctica for the study of microbe–meteorite interactions

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Since the discovery of nine meteorites near the Yamato mountains in 1969, Antarctica has been recognized as a superb location for meteorite recovery. While Antarctic recovery expeditions prioritize meteorite preservation for mineralogical and planetary studies, meteorites are not typically collected for biological applications.

Impact on oysters in first-of-its-kind field trial of marine Enhanced Rock Weathering (mERW) with olivine as carbon dioxide removal (CDR) strategy

Frontiers in Climate
IntroductionCarbon dioxide removal (CDR) is a necessary component of limiting global warming to 2 °C by 2,100. Marine enhanced rock weathering (mERW) with minerals like olivine is a CDR strategy with the potential to capture atmospheric carbon dioxide ...
