The Origin of Life [PDF]

open access: yes, 1974
The origin of life is in a sense a genetic problem, for, as H. J. Muller pointed out many years ago, the essential attribute that identifies living matter is its capacity to replicate itself and its variants (1). Because this uniquely biological property

Combustion and Pyrolysis EA‐IRMS Techniques to Determine the δ2H of Diamonds

open access: yesRapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry, Volume 40, Issue 10, 30 May 2026.
ABSTRACT Rationale Diamonds are generally considered to be metasomatic minerals originating from the Earth's mantle. They formed through the interaction of carbon‐bearing fluids or melts with the surrounding deep lithology. Most knowledge about the formation of diamonds comes from studying their mineral inclusions or stable isotopes.

Evolution of the Transantarctic Basin (Southern Gondwana): Insights From Quantitative Sandstone Petrography

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 1, March 2026.
The deposition of the sandstone sedimentary succession of the Beacon Supergroup lasted more than 200 Myr (Devonian to Early Jurassic) in Victoria Land and nearby territories in the so‐called Transantarctic Basin, recording crucial events in the history of the Earth.

Origin of carbonate-silicate rocks of the Porya Guba (the Lapland-Kolvitsa Granulite Belt) revealed by stable isotope analysis (δ18O, δ13C)

open access: yesЗаписки Горного института
Carbonate-silicate rocks of unclear origin have been observed in granulites of the Porya Guba of the Lapland-Kolvitsa Belt within the Fennoscandinavian Shield.

Induced Earthquakes in the Southern Delaware Basin, Texas, Are Bound by a Geomechanically Controlled Maximum Magnitude

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract In this paper we document the first example‐the southern Delaware Basin‐where widespread induced triggered (as opposed to “driven”) seismicity across a large area exhibits a maximum magnitude truncation. The most likely cause of this truncation is that although the shallow faults in this area are many km in length, they are structurally ...

The pre‐Vendian (640–610 ma) granite magmatism in the Central Taimyr fold belt: the final stage of the Neoproterozoic evolution of the Siberian paleocontinent active margin

open access: yesГеодинамика и тектонофизика, 2019
Eastern part of the Central Taimyr belt is composed of Precambrian rocks penetrated by granites of the Snezhnaya complex (845–825 million years) and later overlain by mid‐Neoproterozoic sin‐ postorogenic sedimentary deposits of the Stanovaya‐Kolosova ...

Late Triassic Hydroclimatic Changes in Central China Linked to Evolving Mountain Topography

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract During the Late Triassic, tropical Pangea drifted northward into subtropical latitudes and became progressively drier. In contrast, South China, despite experiencing a similar latitudinal shift, transitioned from an arid to humid climate. Based on the sedimentary record of the Zigui Basin, this study constrains the arid to humid climatic shift

Chemical composition of sandstones and paleogeodynamic reconstructions

open access: yesЛитосфера, 2016
The article analyzes the adequacy of compliance on paleogeodynamic nature of Upper Precambrian sedimentary associations - Bashkir meganticlinorium, Kama-Belaya aulacogene and Uchur-Maya region, received by geological methods and by using discriminant ...

Elevated Asthenospheric Temperature Driving the Partial Melting of Enriched Lithospheric Mantle Feeding the DM‐EM1 Mixing‐Type Magmatism of the Jingpohu Volcano in Eastern NE China: Evidence From Teleseismic P‐Wave Attenuation

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract The origin of a binary‐mixing of DM and EM1 sources for the Cenozoic intraplate volcanism in eastern Northeast China is yet unclear. Seismic attenuation imaging is a tool that can shed light on this question. Here we present the first map of teleseismic P‐wave attenuation across Northeast China.

Trace element composition of silicate minerals from Kunashak Meteorite (L6)

open access: yesЗаписки Горного института
Major (EPMA) and trace (SIMS) element geochemistry in the silicate minerals (olivine, pyroxene and plagioclase) of Kunashak equilibrated ordinary chondrite (L6) is described. No variations in the major element concentrations of the silicate minerals have
