Exploring Organic-mineral Evolution in Planetary Analogs: Insights from Hydrothermal Alteration of Aromatic Molecules and Mafic Minerals

The Planetary Science Journal
Organic-mineral interactions are crucial drivers of diversity in abiotic systems on planetary surfaces. Despite their significance, the evolution of these systems, particularly the role of organic molecules in newly formed minerals, remains underexplored.

Reflectance spectra of Mesosiderites: Implications for asteroid 4 Vesta [PDF]

, 2007
Oxygen isotopic data argues that HEDs and mesosiderites may be from the same parent body. A spectral survey of mesosiderites was done to determine their spectral properties in the visible and near-infrared and compare to ...

Assessing the Vulnerability of an Inuit Archaeological Site in a Changing Periglacial Environment: A Novel Multimethod Geophysical Approach in Arctic Geoarchaeology

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT With northern regions warming at twice the global rate, assessing the state of archaeological sites in these areas is critically important. In this study, we used a multimethod geophysical approach (ERT, GPR, and EMI) to characterize the current geocryological conditions of an Inuit archaeological site on South Aulatsivik Island (Labrador ...

Mineralogical records of early planetary processes on the howardite, eucrite, diogenite parent body with reference to Vesta [PDF]

Meteoritics & Planetary Science, 1997
Abstract— Mineralogical information recovered from the howardite, eucrite, diogenite (HED) meteorites was employed to reconstruct the history of the parent body and relate it to 4 Vesta. These interpreted crustal evolution processes were then compared to the expected geological features on the surface of a likely proto‐planet, 4 Vesta.

Biometric Analysis of Giant and Large Murid Remains From Matja Kuru 2, Timor‐Leste

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Published research on Matja Kuru 2 (MK2) demonstrates its significance for understanding human lifestyle during the terminal Pleistocene and Holocene. Murids represent the most commonly identified taxa in the site, with specimens preliminarily classified as small, large and giant based on size comparisons.

Lower crustal zircons reveal Neogene metamorphism beneaththe Pannonian Basin (Hungary)

Open Geosciences, 2015
Neogene alkaline intraplate volcanic depositsin the Pannonian Basin (Hungary) contain many lowercrustal granulite-facies xenoliths. U-Pb ages have been determinedfor zircons separated from a metasedimentaryxenolith, using LA-ICPMS and SHRIMP techniques ...

An integrated mineralogical, petrographic, light stable isotope and noble gas investigation of Sahara 99201 ureilite [PDF]

, 2001
New ureilite Sahara 99201 has been investigated to determine mineralogy, petrography, light stable isotopes and noble gases. The sample is a typical olivine pigeonite ureilite (Fo 78, Wo 10, En 72).

Olivine or Impact Melt: Nature of the "Orange" Material on Vesta from Dawn

, 2013
NASA's Dawn mission observed a great variety of colored terrains on asteroid (4) Vesta during its survey with the Framing Camera (FC). Here we present a detailed study of the orange material on Vesta, which was first observed in color ratio images ...

RioM‐1: A New Calcite Reference Material for U‐Pb LA‐ICP‐MS Geochronology

Geostandards and Geoanalytical Research, EarlyView.
Key Points RioM‐1 calcite was characterised for trace elements, U‐Pb geochronology, Sr and O isotopes using ID‐TIMS, LA‐ICP‐MS and SIMS. U‐Pb dates from ID‐TIMS and LA‐ICP‐MS across several independent laboratories returned identical results within uncertainty.

Six Ca‐Mg‐Fe Carbonate Reference Materials for In Situ Measurement of Oxygen and Carbon Isotope Ratios

Geostandards and Geoanalytical Research, EarlyView.
Key Points Six new Ca‐Mg‐Fe carbonate reference materials are available to the global geochemical community for calibrating oxygen and carbon isotope ratios by SIMS. Significant compositional matrix effects were observed in the dolomite‐ankerite and magnesite‐siderite series during SIMS analysis. Compositional matrix effects correlate with Fe variation.
