Testing the Recycled Gabbro Hypothesis for the Origin of “Ghost Plagioclase” Melt Signatures Using 87Sr/86Sr of Individual Olivine‐Hosted Melt Inclusions From Hawai'i

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2021
Melt inclusions with large, positive Sr anomalies have been described in multiple tectonic settings, and the origins of this unusual geochemical feature are debated.

Neoarchean Arc Magmatism and Crust Recycling in the Northern Marginal Zone of the Limpopo Complex, Zimbabwe: New Insights From Zircon U‐Pb‐Hf Isotopes of a Charnockite Suite

open access: yesGeological Journal, EarlyView.
Charnockites with 2691–2607 Ma magmatic ages from the NMZ show arc‐magmatic geochemical signatures. They correspond to the lower‐crustal equivalent of the Chilimanzi Suite Granite in the Zimbabwe Craton. Lu‐Hf isotopic data of magmatic zircons show negative εHf(t) values (−11.18 to −2.20) with TDMC ages of 3699–3158 Ma, suggesting their protolith ...

Elasticity of plagioclase feldspars [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2016
AbstractElastic properties are reported for eight plagioclase feldspars that span compositions from albite (NaSi3AlO8) to anorthite (CaSi2Al2O8). Surface acoustic wave velocities measured using Impulsive Stimulated Light Scattering and compliance sums from high‐pressure X‐ray compression studies accurately determine all 21 components of the elasticity ...

High‐Titanium Zircon Rims in Rhyolite – A Reflection of Adiabatic Ascent?

open access: yesGeological Journal, EarlyView.
The ascent of granitic magma from source to emplacement is rapidly achieved through dyking, resulting in negligible heat loss to the surrounding wallrock (i.e., adiabatic). Zircon growth during ascent can record the changing magma conditions including adiabatic cooling and heating, resulting in high titanium rims on low titanium cores without ...

The Missing Magmas of MOR: Insights From Phase Equilibrium Experiments on Plagioclase Ultraphyric Basalts

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2022
Plagioclase ultraphyric basalts (PUBs) are a class of mid‐ocean ridge (MOR) lavas found in a variety of ocean floor environments, are characterized by abundant (15–40 volume %) plagioclase megacrysts and a diverse trace element and isotopic signature ...

Notable Impact of Paleotectonic Stress on Gold Mineralisation in the West Qinling Orogen

open access: yesGeological Journal, EarlyView.
By applying fuzzy clustering and multiple inverse methods, we systematically processed the data of vein and fault slip in this ore deposit to reveal the transition of orogenic geological environment and paleotectonic stress field. Our research results show two different stress states: the northwest–southeast extensional stress field and the northeast ...

Plagioclase as evidence of magmatic evolution in the Zafarqand porphyry copper deposit, NE Isfahan

open access: yesJournal of Economic Geology, 2018
Introduction Chemical and textural zoning patterns preserved in plagioclase phenocrysts can provide useful information on parameters that constrains the changing melt compositions in the magma systems.

Syn-kinematic hydration reactions, grain size reduction, and dissolution–precipitation creep in experimentally deformed plagioclase–pyroxene mixtures [PDF]

open access: yesSolid Earth, 2018
It is widely observed that mafic rocks are able to accommodate high strains by viscous flow. Yet, a number of questions concerning the exact nature of the involved deformation mechanisms continue to be debated.

Eye makeup in Northwestern Iran at the time of the Assyrian Empire: a new kohl recipe based on manganese and graphite from Kani Koter (Iron Age III)

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
Abstract Kohl was ubiquitous in ancient Egypt and the Middle East, and routinely included among the toiletries deposited in burials. For Egypt, kohl recipes are increasingly well‐studied and known to use a range of inorganic and organic ingredients. Although these are often lead‐based, manganese‐ and silicon‐rich compounds are also attested.

Soil wetting and drying processes influence stone artefact distribution in clay‐rich soils: A case study from Middle Gidley Island in Murujuga, northwest Western Australia

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
Abstract Soils that contain swelling clay minerals (e.g., montmorillonite) expand and contract during wetting and drying, causing movement within the soil profile. This process, known as argilliturbation, can alter artefact distributions, destroy stratigraphy and complicate the interpretation of archaeological deposits.
