Spin Transition of Iron in Deep‐Mantle Ferromagnesite

open access: yesGeophysical Monograph Series, Page 115-125., 2020

This book is Open Access. A digital copy can be downloaded for free from Wiley Online Library.

Explores the behavior of carbon in minerals, melts, and fluids under extreme conditions

Carbon trapped in diamonds and carbonate-bearing rocks in subduction zones are examples of the continuing exchange of substantial carbon ...

Fossilized Melts in Mantle Wedge Peridotites [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2018
The shallow oxidized asthenosphere may contain a small fraction of potassic silicate melts that are enriched in incompatible trace elements and volatiles.

On the Tertiary and Older Peridotites of Scotland [PDF]

open access: greenQuarterly Journal of the Geological Society of London, 1885
Those rocks which contain an excessive proportion of the bases, especially magnesia and ferrous oxide, and are therefore composed largely of unisilicates, may be conveniently classed as ultra-basic rocks. Such rocks constitute a small but highly interesting group, which is characterized as follows:—They have a very ...

Craton Destruction Induced by Drastic Drops in Lithospheric Mantle Viscosity

open access: yesEarth and Space Science, Volume 9, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022
Abstract The disruption of the mantle roots of cratons is common after cratonization. Craton destruction, which is characterized by severe lithospheric thinning, extensive thrust and extensional deformation, basin filling, and intense thermal activities, is relatively rare and is generally attributed to intensely reduced viscosity contrasts between the

Platinum Group Element Traces of CAMP Volcanism Associated With Low‐Latitude Environmental and Biological Disruptions

open access: yesGeophysical Monograph Series, Page 263-304., 2021

Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact

An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Diamond and Other Exotic Mineral-Bearing Ophiolites on the Globe: A Key to Understand the Discovery of New Minerals and Formation of Ophiolitic Podiform Chromitite

open access: yesCrystals, 2021
Ophiolite-hosted diamond from peridotites and podiform chromitites significantly differs from those of kimberlitic diamond and ultra-high pressure (UHP) metamorphic diamond in terms of occurrence, mineral inclusion, as well as carbon and nitrogen ...

Elastic anisotropy of lizardite at subduction zone conditions [PDF]

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters 49 (2022), 2022
Subduction zones transport water into Earth's deep interior through slab subduction. Serpentine minerals, the primary hydration product of ultramafic peridotite, are abundant in most subduction zones. Characterization of their high-temperature elasticity, particularly their anisotropy, will help us better estimate the extent of mantle serpentinization ...

Evolution history of north Anarak, Central Iran ophiolitic olistoliths using petrographical and mineral chemistry studies [PDF]

open access: yesپترولوژی, 2021
Anarak ophiolite, belonging to Paleozoic, formed along with the tectonic evolution of the Paleo- Tethys Ocean, consisting of meta- peridotites of mantle and crust, cumulate rocks, massive gabbros, pillow lava, basic and ultrabasic dikes, rodingite and ...

Pseudotachylyte in the Monte Maggiore ophiolitic unit (Alpine Corsica): a possible lateral extension of the Cima di Gratera intermediate-depth Wadati-Benioff paleo-seismic zone

open access: yesBSGF - Earth Sciences Bulletin, 2018
At the northern end of the Cap Corse peninsula, several klippes of ultramafic rocks (peridotite and serpentinite), among which the Monte Maggiore klippe is the least serpentinized one, rest upon continental-crust derived rocks (Centuri gneisses) and ...
