Olivine–gabbroic shergottites: A petrogenetic link between poikilitic and gabbroic shergottites
Abstract Shergottites span a textural, mineralogical, and geochemical range, and finding links between the various petrologic and geochemical groups is of great interest as it provides insight into the conditions of the Martian interior. Here, we compare the texture, mineralogy, mineral chemistry, and geochemistry of REE‐enriched intrusive shergottite ...

ABSTRACT Micritization of marine carbonate grains is an early diagenetic process involving the alteration of the original carbonate fabric and the formation of cryptocrystalline textures through cycles of dissolution and reprecipitation. Microorganisms play a significant role in this process, actively contributing to the formation of constructive and ...

ABSTRACT Detailed analysis of Lutetian–Bartonian deposits in the Paris Basin (‘Marnes et Caillasses’ Formation) provides new evidence of concomitant magnesian fibrous clays (palygorskite and sepiolite) and early microcrystalline dolomite. Although relatively uncommon in sedimentary archives, palygorskite and sepiolite are found in a wide range of ...

ABSTRACT Structurally controlled hydrothermal dolomitization, commonly driven by high‐pressure, high‐temperature fluid–rock reactions, offers insights into the tectonic evolution of sedimentary basins and the geochemical composition of their diagenetic fluids.

Constraints from rocks in the Taiwan orogen on crustal stress levels and rheology [PDF]
Taiwan's Hsüehshan range experienced penetrative coaxial deformation within and near the brittle-plastic transition between ∼6.5 and 3 Ma. This recent and short-lasting deformation in an active, well-studied orogen makes it an ideal natural laboratory ...

Early dolomitization of platform carbonates and the preservation of magnetic polarity [PDF]
Results from a combination of techniques are presented to evaluate the nature of magnetization in shallow-water platform carbonates which have undergone recrystallization during early calcification and dolomitization. Magnetic grain separates, coercivity

Out‐of‐Sequence Nucleation in a Blueschist From Syros, Greece
ABSTRACT Two samples of garnet + glaucophane + chloritoid + phengite + paragonite + quartz + epidote + rutile schist from the Cycladic Blueschist Unit of Syros, Greece, have been examined in detail in order to constrain the paragenetic sequence and to infer the processes and time scales for metamorphic recrystallization.

Igneous processes within late Precambrian volcanic centres near Whitwick, northwestern Charnwood Forest [PDF]
Precambrian rocks in northwestern Chamwood Forest differ markedly from their lateral equivalents to the east and south. They are subdivided into the Whitwick Volcanic Complex, of massive to intensely brecciated high-silica andesites and porphyritic ...

Seismic Velocities of Subducted Serpentinites Through the Lizardite‐Antigorite Transition
Abstract The mineralogical transition (lizardite to antigorite) occurring in serpentinites dragged down in subduction zones depends on the metamorphic pressure and temperature conditions. The seismic Vp/Vs ratio is useful for distinguishing serpentinites from other mantle rocks. To understand the effects of the metamorphic conditions and the associated

ABSTRACT Objectives Stable isotope analyses of archaeological bone have become an increasingly common research avenue for interpreting past human behavior. To ensure reliable isotope data is used for interpretations, bone samples must meet quality control standards.
