An ion probe study of the sulphur isotopic composition of Fe-Ni sulphides in CM carbonaceous chondrites [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
From the Introduction: The CM chondrites have endured variable degrees of aqueous alteration [1] which has changed their original mineralogy. A detailed study of the petrology and mineralogy of the sulphides in a suite of increasingly aqueously altered ...

The lithospheric mantle and lower crust-mantle relationships under Scotland: a xenolithic perspective [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
In the British Isles the majority of volcanic rocks containing upper mantle and lower crustal xenoliths occur in Scotland. Most of the occurrences are of Carboniferous–Permian age.

A non-classical view on calcium oxalate precipitation and the role of citrate

open access: yesNature Communications, 2017
The formation mechanism of abundant calcium oxalate biomaterials is unresolved. Here the authors show the early stages of calcium oxalate formation in pure and citrate-bearing solutions by using a titration set-up in conjunction with solution quenching ...

Zircon ages in granulite facies rocks: decoupling from geochemistry above 850 °C? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Granulite facies rocks frequently show a large spread in their zircon ages, the interpretation of which raises questions: Has the isotopic system been disturbed? By what process(es) and conditions did the alteration occur?

Petrology of Yaluninogorsk granitoid massive (Alapaevsk-Sukhoi Log porphyry copper zone, Middle Urals)

open access: yesЛитосфера, 2018
Yaluninogorsk quartz diorite-trondhjemite massif is situated in Alapaevsk-Sukhoy Log zone of Eastern-Ural High potentially productive for Cu (±Mo) porphyry type of mineralization. The massif is a magma chamber 3 × 2 km under central type volcano.

A Data Driven Approach to Investigate the Chemical Variability of Clinopyroxenes From the 2014–2015 Holuhraun–Bárdarbunga Eruption (Iceland)

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2020
The Holuhraun–Bárdarbunga (Iceland) eruption lasted approximately 6 months. Magma propagated laterally through a 40 km long dyke, while Bárdarbunga caldera was collapsing.

A review of volatiles in the Martian interior [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Multiple observations from missions to Mars have revealed compelling evidence for a volatile-rich Martian crust. A leading theory contends that eruption of basaltic magmas was the ultimate mechanism of transfer of volatiles from the mantle toward the ...

The mineralogy, petrology, and composition of anomalous eucrite Emmaville [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The Emmaville eucrite is a relatively poorly studied basaltic achondrite with an anomalous oxygen isotope signature. In this study, we report comprehensive mineralogical, petrographic, and geochemical data from Emmaville in order to understand its ...

Mesozoic-Cenozoic mafic magmatism in Sanandaj-Sirjan Zone, Zagros Orogen (Western Iran): geochemical and isotopic inferences from Middle Jurassic and Late Eocene gabbros [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
One of the consequences of Neo-Tethys ocean subduction beneath the Central Iranian Micro-continent (CIMC) is the development of rare gabbroic intrusions in the Malayer-Boroujerd Plutonic Complex (MBPC) located in the Sanandaj-Sirjan Zone (SaSZ) of the ...

Evidence for a reducing Archean ambient mantle and its effects on the carbon cycle [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Chemical reduction-oxidation mechanisms within mantle rocks link to the terrestrial carbon cycle by influencing the depth at which magmas can form, their composition, and ultimately the chemistry of gases released into the atmosphere.
