Journal of Asian Earth Sciences: X, 2022 This study focuses on the ability of spinel crystals in ultramafic xenoliths, like zircon, to store the primary composition and structure when exposed to magma fluid flows or the thermal heating of ultramafic fragments in magma flows during volcanic ...

Microspherules Formed by Lightning Strikes
Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.Abstract Natural microspherules are formed by high‐temperature processes and are present throughout the geologic record to the present day. We report the discovery of large numbers of microspherules recovered from a rock pavement in the Pilbara region, Western Australia.

Terra Nova, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Paleoproterozoic Talvivaara mudstone is a very large sulfidic Ni‐Co deposit that records enhanced organic matter accumulation during the global Shunga Event. Here, rock geochemistry and microscale S and Fe isotope composition of in situ pyrrhotites and pyrites are studied in well‐characterised, well‐preserved drill core samples.

Neoproterozoic ultramafic and mafic magmatism in the Eastern Cordillera of the central peruvian Andes: the Tapo Massif [PDF]
, 2010 A highly dismembered assemblage of ultramafic and mafic rocks is exposed in the Eastern Cordillera of the Central Peruvian Andes, extending along a discontinuous NW-SE belt over some 250 km between 12° and 9° S of latitude.

A neoproterozoic age for the chromitite and gabbro of the Tapo Ultramafic Massif, Eastern Cordillera, Central Peru, and its tectonic implications [PDF]
, 2011 The ultramafic-mafic rocks of the Tapo Complex are exposed in the Eastern Cordillera of the Central Peruvian Andes. This complex is composed of serpentinised peridotites and metabasites with some podiform chromitite lenses and chromite disseminations and

Biodiversity of mycorrhizosphere bacteria associated to endemic Tristaniopsis species in New Caledonian serpentine soils [PDF]
, 2010 New Caledonian serpentine (ultramafic) outcrops are metal-rich soils, containing high levels of toxic heavy metals particularly the nickel (20 g.kg-1).

Biodiversity and adaptive strategies of mycorrhizosphere bacteria associated to Tristaniopsis species in new caledonian ultramafic ecosystems [PDF]
, 2010 New Caledonian ultramafic ecosystems are considered as hotspots of biodiversity, partly because of the adaptative pressure exerted by drastic edaphic conditions.
