New knowledge about shock events that affected the L‐chondrite parent body from two heavily shocked L6 meteorite finds

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract We report new results from a study of shock‐related features in the L6 ordinary chondrites Northwest Africa (NWA) 4672 and NWA 12841. Our observations confirm the occurrence of eight high‐pressure (HP) minerals in each meteorite, namely, ringwoodite, majorite, akimotoite, wadsleyite, albitic jadeite, lingunite, tuite, and xieite.

Determining impact angle from the spatial distribution of shock metamorphism: A case study of the Gosses Bluff (Tnorala) impact structure, Australia

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The majority of planetary impacts occur at oblique angles. Impact structures on Earth are commonly eroded or buried, rendering the identification of the direction and angle of impact—using methods such as asymmetries in ejecta distribution, surface topographic expression, central uplift structure, and geophysical anomalies—challenging. In this

Vertical profiling of shock attenuation at the Rochechouart impact structure, France

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Rochechouart, south‐west France, is a complex impact structure. Here, we present the first report of shock barometry of quartz from what are likely parautochthonous basement units at depth, based on samples from the 2017 C.I.R.I.R drilling campaign. The crystallographic orientations of 725 sets of PDFs in 512 quartz grains in samples from four

Petrography and mineral chemistry of Northeast Africa 053—A remnant of Martian crystal mush

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract In Earth's igneous systems, crystal mushes, crystal‐rich frameworks permeated by silicate melt, represent a common and fundamental stage in the evolution of magma bodies. However, whether crystal mushes occur within Martian igneous systems and play a comparable role is unknown. Here, we present a comprehensive petrography and mineral chemistry

The Mobility of Major and Trace Elements in EOC Minerals on Parent Chondrite Bodies

Geosciences
The combined EPMA and SIMS study of the geochemical features of olivine, low-Ca pyroxene and plagioclase in equilibrated ordinary chondrites (EOCs) has revealed the effect of thermal metamorphism on trace element concentrations in EOC silicate minerals ...

Confirmation of the impact origin of the Late Ordovician Tvären impact structure (southeast Sweden) and emplacement of impactites in a marine setting

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The Tvären structure in southeastern Sweden has been listed as a confirmed marine‐target impact structure for decades. However, to date, no measurements and/or indexed data of planar deformation features in quartz grains from the structure have been published or any other unequivocal evidence of impact.

Growth and reworking of freshwater microbially‐mediated carbonates in wind‐stressed lake margins (Lago Sarmiento, Southern Patagonia)

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding the biotic and abiotic influences on the deposition and diagenesis of recent microbial carbonates is crucial for addressing the environmental and ecological significance of ancient organosedimentary structures. This study investigates these factors and their expression in the microstructure of Holocene tufa thrombolites from a ...

The making of pure quartzose sand in continental interiors: Paraná River (Brazil and Argentina)

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As part of a comprehensive project on sedimentary processes in South America, this study focuses on sediment generation in the intracratonic Paraná Basin and monitors the evolution of sand composition along the Paraná River from central Brazil to the Río de la Plata estuary in Argentina.

The Effects of Carbonate Precipitation on the Physical Properties of Basalt

AGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract To avoid the negative consequences of climate change, there is an urgent need to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Carbon mineralization—the conversion of injected CO2 into stable carbonate minerals—offers a promising pathway for large‐scale, permanent geologic storage. While projects such as CarbFix have demonstrated its feasibility,
