Beach Gold and Heavy Mineral Concentrates on Tiwai Spit Gravel Strand Plain, Southland, New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 3, September 2026.
The Holocene Tiwai Spit on Foveaux Strait is a 12 km by 2 km gravel‐dominated strand plain, ∼10 m above present sea level. Gravel clasts are dominated by well‐rounded quartz cobbles, pebbles and granules derived from Otago Schist 200 km to the north in evolving river drainage systems during late Cenozoic.

BADDELEYITE MINERALIZATION OF ULTRAMAFIC ROCKS FROM THE MAIN URALS COLLISIONAL SUTURE (UFALEY METAMORPHIC BLOCK, CENTRAL URALS) [PDF]

Минералогия, 2016
Baddeleyite from ultramafic rocks of the Kurta eclogite-schist megamélange (Ufaley metamorphic block, Central Urals) is studied. The zirconium mineralization is established in Ni-bearing forsterite and magnetite-forsterite rocks, which were replaced by ...

A global forum on ultramafic ecosystems: from ultramafic ecology to rehabilitation of degraded environments

Ecological Research, 2018
Abstract The 9th International Conference on Serpentine Ecology (ICSE) was held in Tirana and Pogradec (Albania) from June 5 to 9, 2017. More than 100 delegates from 29 countries around the world gathered to present their research on recent advances in: (i) ultramafic soils, (ii) biogeochemistry, (iii) diversity of ultramafic flora ...

Cryptic Superfine Placer Gold Populations, Round Hill Mine, Southern New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 3, September 2026.
Superfine (50–<1 µm) detrital gold and platinum group mineral (PGM) particles at the Round Hill mine near Foveaux Strait were locally derived (<20 km) from as‐yet undefined basement sources. This superfine component contrasts with the dominant coarser (typically >100 µm) gold and PGM particles at the mine that have been transported for >100 km in ...

Transfer of Potentially Toxic Metal(loid)s From Ultramafic Soils in a Tri‐Trophic Food Chain Experiment

Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 5, September 2026.
Potentially toxic metal(loid)s (PTMs) bioaccumulated across a plant‐herbivore‐predator food chain. Irrespective of soil concentrations, female crickets actively selected PTM‐enriched leaves, while predatory mantids showed no developmental impairment. Trophic transfer of PTMs was rather influenced more by a function of intrinsic species traits than by ...

High Melt Fraction Induced by the Dehydration Melting Near the 410‐km Discontinuity

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract The water‐rich mantle transition zone, coupled with the low water storage capacity of the upper mantle, suggests that dehydration melting occurs just above the mantle transition zone near the 410‐km discontinuity. However, the melt fraction produced by the dehydration melting process remains poorly constrained.

Corundum Discovered by SuperCam and the Perseverance Rover at Jezero Crater, Mars

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract Mars is primarily composed of mafic mineral assemblages and their alteration products, but small, scattered rocks strewn across the landscape offer clues to greater petrological diversity. While traversing the Jezero crater rim, the Perseverance rover encountered several plagioclase‐rich light‐toned float rocks.
