Exhumation of the Koktokay rare-metal pegmatite group in the China Altai: insights from low-temperature thermochronology of the No. 3 pegmatite and Aler S-type granitic batholith

Frontiers in Earth Science
The China Koktokay Pegmatite Group is an important metallogenic region where major rare-metal ores are mined. Here, we present new low-temperature thermochronological data to contribute to the understanding of the Koktokay Pegmatite Group’s exhumation ...

Do Pegmatites Crystallise Fast? A Perspective from Petrologically-Constrained Isotopic Dating

Geosciences, 2023
Most recent studies consider the formation of individual pegmatite bodies to be a fast process with estimated crystal growth rates reaching a walloping 10 m/day. This opinion is presumably underpinned by the traditional way of thinking of them as the end

A new occurrence of samuelsonite in the Buranga Pegmatite, Rwanda [PDF]

Bulletin of the Geological Society of Finland, 1992
A new occurrence of the rare mineral species, samuelsonite, is reported from the Buranga pegmatite, Rwanda, in close association with gatumbaite and burangaite, as aggregates of bladed crystals imbedded in trolleite and in bertossaite.

Provenance of Middle Triassic sediments in the Southern Youjiang Basin: Insights from detrital zircon geochronology and tourmaline geochemistry

The Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 4, September 2026.
Middle Triassic turbidites in the Youjiang Basin were chiefly derived from a Late Palaeozoic continental arc along the southeastern South China Block, as revealed by detrital zircon U–Pb geochronology and tourmaline geochemistry, supporting a tectonic model driven by Paleo‐Pacific subduction rather than Paleo‐Tethyan closure.

Assessment and Correction of Non‐Linearity Effects for In Situ Rb‐Sr Geochronology Applied to High 87Rb/86Sr Mica

Geostandards and Geoanalytical Research, Volume 50, Issue 3, Page 601-624, September 2026.
Key Points Measurement of 86Sr at count rates < 1500 cps can result in statistical bias. Non‐linear signals in analogue detection mode (e.g., Rb) present a challenge for accurately dating high 87Rb/86Sr mica (> 1000). Accounting for these considerations, high 87Rb/86Sr mica are dated here with accuracies of ∼ 1%.

Corundum Discovered by SuperCam and the Perseverance Rover at Jezero Crater, Mars

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract Mars is primarily composed of mafic mineral assemblages and their alteration products, but small, scattered rocks strewn across the landscape offer clues to greater petrological diversity. While traversing the Jezero crater rim, the Perseverance rover encountered several plagioclase‐rich light‐toned float rocks.

Surface ages of alluvial fans in the southern Central Andes recorded by ground‐ and space‐based hyperspectral reflectance

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 8, August 2026.
Secondary weathering of alluvial‐fan surfaces records the relative, and even absolute, ages of deposited sediments up to 300 ka. Hyperspectral imagery quantifies evolving mineral‐weathering pathways to unlock high‐resolution mapping and dating of these sedimentary landscapes.

Post‐Collisional Evolution in the Southern Variscan Belt: Insights From Numerical Modeling of the Valpelline Series (Western Alps)

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The post‐collisional evolution of orogenic belts is commonly marked by high‐temperature metamorphism and widespread magmatism, yet the processes linking collision to post‐collisional dynamics remain difficult to reconstruct due to limited exposure of deep‐crustal levels and uncertainties in the determination of pressure‐temperature conditions ...

Ediacaran–Cambrian High‐Strain Melt‐Present Deformation of the Archean Charcot Province, East Antarctica

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The assembly of Gondwana involved several Pan‐African orogens, although their extension into ice‐covered Antarctica remains contentious. Particularly problematic is our understanding of the Kuunga orogenic system in East Antarctica, including its eroded architecture and temporal evolution. The remote Charcot Province, at the easternmost extent

Petrography and geochemistry of pegmatite and leucogranite of Ntega-Marangara area, Burundi, in relation to rare metal mineralisation

Open Geosciences
The Ntega-Marangara area, part of the Kanyaru supergroup, Western Domain of Karagwe Ankole Belt, hosts numerous pegmatite veins related to the leucogranite. This investigation aims to characterise the granitoids, their alteration products, and rare metal
