Notes on the Permian to Recent Geology of the Kruger National Park

Koedoe: African Protected Area Conservation and Science, 1986
Permian to Recent rocks form narrow, roughly north- south and east-south-east trending belts in the north-eastern Transvaal. The rocks consist of a thin succession of Karoo sediments, a thick overlying succession of mafic and felsic volcanics referred to

Evaluating Forced Versus Plume‐Induced Subduction Initiation for the Talkeetna‐Bonanza Arc System: Implications for Permo‐Triassic Paleogeography of the North American Cordillera

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract The mechanisms by which new subduction zones form remain highly debated. Here we use Permo‐Triassic strata to evaluate potential mechanisms for initiation of the Talkeetna‐Bonanza Arc of the northern North American Cordillera. New mapping and analysis of Permian and Upper Triassic strata on the Alaska Peninsula suggest a period of uplift ...

Origin of Picrite Blocks Near Wells [PDF]

Geological Magazine, 1958
Pieces of picrite found in 1904 in a field at Ebbor Rocks, near Wells, Somerset, western England, probably came from the Menheniot quarries which were the source of ballast used in the area. Comparison of thin sections supports this conclusion.

(Ultra)high‐Pressure Metamorphism in Sedimentary Versus Basaltic Rocks: Insights From a Variscan Mélange in the South Carpathians

Journal of Metamorphic Geology, Volume 44, Issue 8, Page 585-610, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Reconstructing the pressure–temperature–time (P–T–t) evolution of (ultra)high‐pressure rocks is essential for constraining subduction and collisional dynamics. Subduction zones are often investigated using basic eclogites, whereas nonbasic high‐pressure rocks remain comparatively understudied, potentially hindering a comprehensive ...

Vanadium Isotopic Compositions of the High‐3He/4He Baffin Island Lavas

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The isotopic composition of vanadium (V) in hotspot lavas provides new insight into the source of deep mantle heterogeneities. We measured V isotopic compositions in Paleogene Baffin Island lavas, which erupted above the Iceland plume head, to constrain the mantle plume source. These lavas have V isotopic compositions that are lighter (−0.96 ±

Distinct Transcrustal Evolutions of Komatiitic Primitive Magma: Implications for the Compositional Dichotomy of Continental Flood Basalts

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The origin of the compositional dichotomy between high‐Ti and low‐Ti basalts in continental flood basalt provinces remains debated. Most existing studies attribute this dichotomy directly to variations in primitive magma composition to circumvent the complexities of significant evolutionary processes, such as multiphase fractional ...

Hotspot magmatism and volcanic hazard at Cape Verde through the lens of shipborne surveying and dredging

Geology Today, Volume 42, Issue 4, Page 174-182, July/August 2026.
The Cape Verde archipelago is a long‐lived volcanic ocean island chain formed by a mantle plume in the Atlantic Ocean. The archipelago is characterized by ten subaerial islands with complex age relationships, abundant submarine volcanism and variable volcanic hazards.

Geochemical investigation of impactites from the Boltysh impact structure and possible relationship to early Danian sediments from the Umbria–Marche Basin, Italy

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 7, Page 1309-1332, July 2026.
Abstract Within the Danian Scaglia Rossa Formation appears a regionally correlatable horizon cutting across multiple sections and outcrops within the Umbria–Marche Basin of NE Italy, where it is intercalated with uniform pelagic carbonate successions. This horizon is called “ALE layer” and has tentatively been interpreted as a fine‐grained volcanic ash.

Deep Origin and Shallow Launch for the Etna 122 B.C. Mafic Plinian Eruption

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Basaltic Plinian eruptions challenge our understanding of explosive volcanism. The 122 B.C. Plinian eruption of Etna ranks among the most powerful mafic explosive events known. Here, we combine volatile barometry of 122 B.C. from olivine‐hosted melt and fluid inclusions with comparative data from the sub‐Plinian Fall Stratified eruption at ...

Weathering of the Emeishan Large Igneous Province Enhanced the Nutrient Flux to the Oceans and Led to Late Permian Climate Cooling

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Mafic continental large igneous provinces (LIPs) erupted rapidly and may have overwhelmed Earth's atmospheric and biospheric systems. However, the exact balance and interplay between short‐term climate warming caused by CO2 emissions and long‐term cooling due to LIP weathering remains poorly understood.
