Tectonic history of the South Tannuol Fault Zone (Tuva region of the northern Central Asian Orogenic Belt, Russia) : constraints from multi-method geochronology [PDF]
In this study, we present zircon U/Pb, plagioclase and K-feldspar Ar-40/Ar-39 and apatite fission track (AFT) data along the South Tannuol Fault Zone (STFZ).

The significance of plagioclase textures in mid-ocean ridge basalt (Gakkel Ridge, Arctic Ocean)
Textures and compositions of minerals can be used to infer the physiochemical conditions present within magmatic systems. Given that plagioclase is an abundant phase in many magmatic systems, understanding the link between texture and process is vital ...

Giant volcanic eruptions have the potential to overturn civilizations. Yet, the driving mechanism and timescale over which batholithic magma reservoirs transition from non‐eruptible crystal mush to mobile melt‐dominated stages and our capacity to detect ...

The origin of Proterozoic massif-type anorthosites: Evidence from interactions between crustal xenoliths and basaltic magma [PDF]
Plagioclase-rich reaction zones occur around numerous aluminous crustal xenoliths within a suite of Palaeogene sub-volcanic basic sheets on the Isle of Mull, NW Scotland.

This contribution addresses the role of chemical composition, pressure, temperature, and time during the shock transformation of plagioclase into diaplectic glass—i.e., maskelynite.

Introduction Thermobarometric models based on the chemical equilibrium among coexisting mineral-mineral or mineral-melts pairs are useful tools widely used to estimate the P-T path and chemical evolution during igneous processes. The high sensitivity of

PETROGRAPHY AND MICROTEXTURAL CHARACTERISTICS OF GRANODIORITE FROM WASIMI, SOUTHWESTERN NIGERIA [PDF]
Rock samples of granodiorite from Wasimi were studied in detail to determine the minerals, mineral associations and the different micro-texture present in order to unravel the processes that were involved during the cooling of the magma.

Effects of CO2 flushing on crystal textures and compositions: experimental evidence from recent K trachybasalts erupted at Mt. Etna [PDF]
Changes in magmatic assemblages and crystal stability as a response of CO2 flushing in basaltic systems have been never directly addressed experimentally, making the role of CO2 in magma dynamics still controversial and object of scientific debate.

Geothermobarometry of Sarmeshk granitoids in the Northwest of Sarduiyeh [PDF]
The Sarmeshk granitoid pluton is located in southeast of the Urumieh-Dokhtar magmatic zone in the Kerman province. Based on petrographic studies, the granitoid consist of three rock type of diorite, granodiorite and monzogranite. They are mainly composed

Recycling Argon through Metamorphic Reactions: the Record in Symplectites [PDF]
The 40Ar/39Ar ages of metamorphic micas that crystallized at high temperatures are commonly interpreted as cooling ages, with grains considered to have lost 40Ar via thermally-driven diffusion into the grain boundary network.
