Micro-XANES determination of ferric iron and its application in thermobarometry

Lithos, 2003
Micro-X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) analysis was employed to determine the content of ferric iron in minerals formed in ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) eclogites. It is observed that omphacite and phengite contain significant amounts of Fe3+/Fetot (0.2–0.6), whereas only very low contents are present in garnet (Fe3+/Fetot=0.0–0.03), the latter ...

A record of magmatic differentiation in plutonic xenoliths from Santorini (Greece)

Volcanica
Plutonic xenoliths from volcanic arcs provide unique insights into transcrustal magmatic systems in subduction zone settings. At Santorini volcano in the Central Aegean Volcanic Arc (Greece), plutonic xenoliths occur throughout a sequence of lavas and ...

An Inverse Method for Quantifying Petrological Parameters and Uncertainty in Phase Equilibrium Modelling

Journal of Metamorphic Geology, Volume 44, Issue 1, Page 70-84, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Phase equilibrium modelling offers a powerful quantitative framework for understanding petrological processes. Yet, many studies still rely on qualitative comparisons between natural datasets and these forward modelled predictions to constrain model parameters, commonly pressure–temperature (P–T) conditions.

Review of geothermochronological and thermobarometric techniques for the construction of cooling and exhumation curves or paths for intrusive igneous rocks

Boletín Geológico, 2020
The present study reviews radiometric and thermobarometric techniques used to construct cooling curves or paths to characterize intrusive bodies and to calculate cooling and exhumation rates. To construct these curves or paths, the temperature, time and

Textural and geochemical diversity of impact melt rock clasts in Apollo 16 sample 67015: Implications for the provenance of impact ejecta in the lunar highlands

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 1, Page 39-63, January 2026.
Abstract Apollo sample 67015 has been classified as a fragmental breccia comprised of highlands‐type clasts and is proposed to be the most complex Apollo 16 sample. 67015 is dominated by impact melt rock clasts that display a variety of textures, which have been previously interpreted to be indicative of multiple impact events.

The Buoyancy of Cratonic Lithospheric Mantle

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 24, 28 December 2025.
Abstract Cratons are generally thought to be characterized by stable, long‐lived mantle roots. However, recent studies have suggested that the lithospheric mantle may be prone to removal, implying that it may be denser than the asthenosphere. To address these suggestions, we use a global data set of mantle xenoliths to estimate the density structure of

Petrogenesis of Very‐Low‐Ti Basalts Returned by Chang'e‐6 From the Lunar Farside

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 23, 16 December 2025.
Abstract Lunar volcanism provides critical insights into the Moon's thermochemical evolution. We present petrological and geochemical analyses of six very‐low‐Ti (VLT) basalt fragments from Chang'e‐6 (CE6) samples. These basalts yield a Pb‐Pb age of around 2.9 Ga, representing the youngest reported VLT volcanism. They are slightly older than the low‐Ti
