Petrophysical and mechanical properties of the Struganik limestone (Vardar zone, Western Serbia) [PDF]
The Struganik limestone has been increasingly popular in recent years for interior and exterior building applications, due to easy workability, low cost and multi purpose suitability.

LATE-DEVONIAN SAKHARA DUNITE-CLINOPIROXENITE-GABBRO COMPLEX (EAST MAGNITOGORSK ZONE, SOUTH URALS): PETROLOGICAL-MINERALOGICAL FEATURES AND GEODYNAMIC SETTING [PDF]
The relevance of the work is caused by necessary regional analysis of magmatic evolution of the East Magnitogorsk belt and refinement of ideas on geodynamics of the South Urals.

Improving crystallization and eruption age estimation using U-Th disequilibrium dating of young volcanic zircon [PDF]
Quantifying timescales and establishing robust eruption chronologies is critical for understanding the evolution and hazards of volcanic systems. U-Th disequilibrium dating on zircon is especially valuable for young and active systems (< 300 ka ...

Temperatures in ambient mantle and plumes: Constraints from basalts, picrites, and komatiites [PDF]
Several methods have been developed to assess the thermal state of the mantle below oceanic ridges, islands, and plateaus, on the basis of the petrology and geochemistry of erupted lavas. One leads to the conclusion that mantle potential temperature (i.e.

Post-eruptive mobility of lithium in volcanic rocks
Lithium, an increasingly economically important element, is also used to trace the cycling of materials through the Earth system. Here the authors show that post-eruptive processes such as degassing and groundmass crystallisation control the inventory of

Ultramafic xenoliths from the Bearpaw Mountains, Montana, USA: evidence for multiple metasomatic events in the lithospheric mantle beneath the Wyoming craton [PDF]
Ultramafic xenoliths in Eocene minettes of the Bearpaw Mountains volcanic field (Montana, USA), derived from the lower lithosphere of the Wyoming craton, can be divided based on textural criteria into tectonite and cumulate groups. The tectonites consist

Lineaaristen geokemiallisten trendien mallinnus Magmakammiosimulaattorilla: esimerkkitutkimus Jindabyne-graniiteista, Lachlan Fold Belt, Australia [PDF]
Understanding the origins of major and trace element variations and the isotopic character of granite samples in terms of sources and magmatic processes is, arguably, the core of granite petrology.
