Coupled sulfur-silicon isotopes reveal supracrustal origin of Archean continents [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsThe genesis of Archean continental crust through partial melting of hydrous mafic protolith is widely acknowledged, yet the origin of the mafic protolith remains highly contentious.

Constraining the Protoliths of the Apollo Granulite Suite
The Planetary Science JournalThe Apollo granulite suite represents the metamorphosed products of impact-contaminated polymict and monomict lunar breccias. We combine bulk and mineral major and trace element systematics with noble gas isotopes to constrain the highland lithologies ...

The south margin of the central Altyn is an early paleozoic tectonic unit confirmed by Zircon dating evidence [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThe south margin of Central Altyn (SMCA) has long been considered as Precambrian stratigraphic unit of the Altyn Orogen. However, their strata attribution is subjected to challenge by the new finding of Siluran-Devonian metamorphic rocks.

Tin in granitic melts: The role of melting temperature and protolith composition
Lithos, 2018 Abstract Granite bound tin mineralization typically is seen as the result of extreme magmatic fractionation and late exsolution of magmatic fluids. Mineralization, however, also could be obtained at considerably less fractionation if initial melts already had enhanced Sn contents.

The protoliths of central Himalayan eclogites
GSA Bulletin, 2021 Abstract Eclogites represent the highest pressure conditions yet observed from rocks thrust to the surface in the central Himalaya. A detailed investigation of the protolith nature of these eclogites is needed to better understand pre-Himalayan geological history.

U-Pb geochronology of the Fort Augustus granite gneiss: constraints on the timing of Neoproterozoic and Palaeozoic tectonothermal events in the NW Highlands of Scotland [PDF]
, 2001 The West Highland granite gneiss suite in Inverness-shire, Scotland, represents a series of S-type, anatectic granites formed by partial melting of host Neoproterozoic metasediments of the Moine Supergroup.
