Mineralogy and matrix composition of CR chondrites Renazzo and EET 87770, and ungrouped chondrites Essebi and MAC 87300 [PDF]
The fine-grained mineralogy of the matrix of two CR chondrites, Renazzo and EET 87770, and the ungrouped (but possible related) Essebi and MAC 87300 chondrites was characterized using standard microprobe (focussed beam) and transmission electron ...

Chemical Heterogeneities along the South Atlantic Mid-Ocean-Ridge (5-11°S): Shallow or Deep Recycling of Ocean Crust? [PDF]
Between 5° and 11°S, the Mid-Atlantic Ridge displays anomalous crustal thickness and geochemical compositions, thought to be related to either small scale upper mantle heterogeneities or a weak, diffuse mantle plume.

Saponite-anthocyanin pigments: Slipping between the sheets
Abstract The present work describes the synthesis and characterization of hybrid materials based on β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) intercalated into saponite (SAP) and a commercially available powder of anthocyanin dye, Crystal Red Grape (RG).

Spitzer IRS Spectroscopy of the 10 Myr-old EF Cha Debris Disk: Evidence for Phyllosilicate-Rich Dust in the Terrestrial Zone [PDF]
We describe Spitzer IRS spectroscopic observations of the 10 Myr-old star, EF Cha. Compositional modeling of the spectra from 5 {\mu}m to 35 {\mu}m confirms that it is surrounded by a luminous debris disk with LD/L\star ~ 10-3, containing dust with ...

Study on the Thixotropy of Mineral Dispersions
At present, there is no national standard method to regulate the test method of thixotropy. The light industry standard of QB/T 1545-1992 is still available to test the thixotropy of nonmetallic mineral materials. The test method of thixotropy introduced

Iddingsite in the Nakhla meteorite: TEM study of mineralogy and texture of pre-terrestrial (Martian?) alterations [PDF]
Rusty-colored veinlets and patches in the Nakhla meteorite, identified as iddingsite, are pre-terrestrial. The rusty material is iddingsite (smectites + hematite + ferrihydrite); like terrestrial iddingsites, it probably formed during low-temperature ...

Sub-Zero Alteration in an Isotopically Heavy Brine Preserved in a Pristine H Chondrite Xenolith [PDF]
Introduction: Brecciated H chondrites host a variety of xenoliths, including unshocked, phyllo- silicate-rich carbonaceous chondrites (CCs). The brecciated H chondrite Zag (H3-6) is one of two chondrites to host macroscopic (1 - 5mm), xenolithic crystals
