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.

The Konawe region is part of the Sulawesi Southeast Arm ophiolite belt where ultramafic rocks are exposed in the form of dunite and peridotite. The formation of nickel deposits is closely related to the weathering process of ultramafic rocks as a source ...

Reflectance spectroscopy and analytical techniques in characterising PGE-bearing host rocks
The Mettuppalaiyam mafic and ultramafic complex (MUC) is part of the Southern Granulite terrain in India. MUC is one of the promising sites for Ni-Cu-Cr and Platinum Group of Elements (PGE) mineralisation.

Ultramafic xenoliths from the Bearpaw Mountains, Montana, USA: evidence for multiple metasomatic events in the lithospheric mantle beneath the Wyoming craton [PDF]
Ultramafic xenoliths in Eocene minettes of the Bearpaw Mountains volcanic field (Montana, USA), derived from the lower lithosphere of the Wyoming craton, can be divided based on textural criteria into tectonite and cumulate groups. The tectonites consist

Ultramafic Rock Carbonation between 40° and 255° C
Carbonation of ultramafic rocks variably leads to the formation of silica-carbonate (listvenite), talc-carbonate (soapstone) or magnesite deposits, thereby providing insights into carbon cycling in marine and terrestrial hydrothermal systems, gold and ...

Earth's Earliest Phaneritic Ultramafic Rocks: Mantle Slices or Crustal Cumulates?
When plate tectonics initiated remains uncertain, partly because many signals interpreted as diagnostic of plate tectonics can be alternatively explained via hot stagnant‐lid tectonics.

WISTFUL: Whole‐Rock Interpretative Seismic Toolbox for Ultramafic Lithologies
To quantitatively convert upper mantle seismic wave speeds measured into temperature, density, composition, and corresponding and uncertainty, we introduce the Whole‐rock Interpretative Seismic Toolbox For Ultramafic Lithologies (WISTFUL).
