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.

Geochemistry and geochronology of granite-pegmatite in the Duxiushan deposit, Anqing ore district: Implications for petrogenesis and Li–Rb mineralization

Solid Earth Sciences
The Duxiushan deposit in the Anqing ore district is a newly discovered granite-pegmatite system hosting significant Li–Rb–Nb–Sn mineralization, representing a style markedly different from those previously recognized in the Middle-Lower Yangtze River ...

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

Subduction Initiation and Early Subduction Zone Development: Insights From the P–T–t Path of the Bay of Islands Metamorphic Sole

Journal of Metamorphic Geology, Volume 44, Issue 7, Page 510-536, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The processes involved during subduction initiation (SI) remain poorly constrained, in part due to the rarity of geological archives. Ophiolites and their underlying metamorphic soles are thought to form during subduction zone infancy and may thus provide critical constraints. Metamorphic soles are derived from oceanic crust of the lower plate

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

Thermodynamic Modeling of Lithium Enrichment During Partial Melting: The Importance of Partition Coefficients

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Predicting the partial melting conditions that generate Li‐rich peraluminous melts is of major economic and societal importance. However, existing models disagree on the optimal conditions (e.g., pressure, temperature, protolith) and, consequently, on targets for exploration.

Tourmaline pegmatite in granite

, 2017
Irregular patch of pegmatite in fine-grained granite. Margins of the pegmatitic patch are gradational, indicating formation at the same time as the granite. Pegmatite has coarse black tourmaline crystals.
