The Lyavaraka Ultrabasic Complex, Serpentinite Belt, Kola Peninsula, Russia
The Paleoproterozoic Lyavaraka ultrabasic complex is one of several dunite–harzburgite–orthopyroxenite bodies exposed as shallow plutonic complexes in the Serpentinite Belt, Kola Peninsula, Russia. Lyavaraka and the other complexes are anorogenic, formed

Temperature-induced oligomerization of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) was found at 500–773 K and ambient and high (3.5 GPa) pressures. The most intensive oligomerization at 1 bar and 3.5 GPa occurs at 740–823 K.

Interpreting high-temperature magnetic susceptibility data of natural systems
High-temperature susceptibility (HT-χ) data are routinely measured in Earth, planetary, and environmental sciences to rapidly identify the magnetic mineralogy of natural systems. The interpretation of such data can be complicated.

Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Mineralogical and Raman spectroscopy studies of natural olivines exposed to different planetary environments [PDF]
Abstract New lander missions to bodies of our solar system are coming up and thus new techniques are desirable for the in-situ investigation of planetary surface and near surface materials. During the last decade Raman spectroscopy has been developed to become an excellent laboratory tool for fast petrological and mineralogical investigation of ...

Micromechanical testing and property upscaling of planetary rocks: A critical review
Knowledge of the mechanical behavior of planetary rocks is indispensable for space explorations. The scarcity of pristine samples and the irregular shapes of planetary meteorites make it difficult to obtain representative samples for conventional ...

Picroilmenites in Yakutian kimberlites: variations and genetic models [PDF]
Major and trace element variations in picroilmenites from Late Devonian kimberlite pipes in Siberia reveal similarities within the region in general, but show individual features for ilmenites from different fields and pipes.
