Petrological implications of melanite in the rocks of the Morro de São João Alkaline Complex, Casimiro de Abreu, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil [PDF]
This article presents a study of the titanium-rich andradite garnet, melanite, which occurs in the rocks of the Morro de São João Alkaline Complex, of Paleocene age, located in the district of Casimiro de Abreu, southeast of the state of Rio de Janeiro ...

High p–T Conditions as a Route to Multicomponent High‐Entropy Nitrides
High‐pressure, high‐temperature nitriding in a laser‐heated diamond anvil cell converts a single Ti40Zr20Nb20Hf5Ta15 at% high‐entropy alloy into multiple compositionally complex nitride phases, including the first multicomponent (Ti–Zr–Nb–Ta–Hf)3N4 as well as the M2N3 (orthorhombic Pnma) and M4N5 (tetragonal I4/m) high‐entropy nitrides (where M ...

The Complexity of Deep Aqueous Fluids in Planetary Ultramafic Mantles
Abstract Planetary volatiles cycle through a planet's crust, mantle, and atmosphere, playing a crucial role in surface processes and habitability. Discussions of planetary volatiles traditionally focus on water, carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur, but fluids in contact with silicate rocks and ultramafic mantles can contain significant amounts of magnesium ...

Abstract Most detrital zircon studies generate grayscale cathodoluminescence (CL) images, U/Pb dates, and variably extensive trace element concentration data. Yet the combined information contained in these data is rarely used for a higher‐level interpretation of zircon provenance, which still heavily relies on comparison of sample‐wide U/Pb age ...

Chemical Speciation Defines Archaeal Ammonia‐Oxidizer Distribution in Yellowstone Hot Springs
Abstract The hot springs of Yellowstone National Park (YNP) provide a natural laboratory for investigating the influence of chemical speciation and energy availability on the distribution of microbes. Among 133 inorganic chemotrophic energy supplies, total dissolved ammonia oxidation was consistently one of the highest across 63 YNP hot spring samples.

The Origin of Carbonate Magmas Predating and Accompanying Main‐Phase LIPs Eruptions
Abstract Some large igneous provinces (LIPs) are associated with precursory carbonatite eruptions. Models for precursory carbonatites invoking partial melting of a carbonate metasomatized lithosphere appear implausible, given the long time needed for heat conduction from the plume head.

Abstract Sulfur (S) is one of the promising light elements that can explain the density deficit of the core. The degree of siderophile nature of S under high pressure and temperature (P,T) is the key to estimating the S content in the core. However, a significant discrepancy between the metal‐silicate partition coefficient of S extrapolated from ...

The Tribeč granitic core (Tatric Superunit, Western Carpathians, Slovakia) is formed by Devonian/Lower Carboniferous, calc-alkaline I- and S-type granitic rocks and their altered equivalents, which provide a rare opportunity to study the Variscan ...

New Terrestrial Native Iron Discovered on Earth's Surface
Abstract Native iron is a major common mineral in lunar samples and meteorites but rarely occurs on Earth's surface, as its stability requires highly reducing conditions with very low oxygen fugacity. To date, native iron has mainly been found in basalts, ophiolites, and deep hydrothermal systems.
