Local Phenomena in meta-mict Titanite
Pure titanite is a mineral with chemical composition CaTiSiO5. Its structure consists of corner linked TiO6-octahedra, SiO4-tetrahedra and sevenfold coordinated Ca positions. In nature various impurities like U and Th can be incorporated in the structure showing alpha and beta radiation.

Titanite Mineralization of Microbial Bioalteration Textures in Jurassic Volcanic Glass, Coast Range Ophiolite, California [PDF]
Volcanic glasses are rarely preserved in the rock record, and the quality of preservation generally declines with increasing age. Records preserved in ancient basaltic glasses therefore provide important links between processes operating in the distant ...

TITANITE OF THE VISHNEVOGORSKY ALKALINE COMPLEX (South Ural) [PDF]
Titanite CaTi(SiO4 )O is a common accessory mineral of alkaline rocks and pegmatites of the Vishnevogorsky alkaline complex, South Urals. It occurs in many magmatic assemblages, is found in some metasomatites, underwent deformation and recrystallization.

Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Anoxia Events in “The Boring Billion”
Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Dating Deformation with Titanite [PDF]
Directly dating deformation is a critical, unresolved challenge in tectonics. The mineral titanite (CaTiSiO5) is one of the best candidates for a “deformation chronometer”—a way to interpret dates in their microstructural context to directly date ...

The luminescence of titanite (CaTiSiO5) [PDF]
The luminescence of CaTiSiO5 crystals is reported. The emission band has its maximum at 520 nm. The results are discussed in connection with titanium compounds containing comparable titanate polyhedra.
