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

open access: yesGeophysical 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.

Peridotite weathering is the missing ingredient of Earth’s continental crust composition

open access: yesNature Communications, 2018
The concentration of Ni and Cr of the continental crust cannot be explained by formation models involving differentiated magmatic rocks. Here, the authors show that hydrothermal alteration and chemical weathering of ultramafic rock compensates for the ...

Concomitant Mineral Carbonation and CO2 Reduction in Short‐Term Water‐Basalts Reaction: Difference Between Basaltic Glass and Basaltic Crystals

open access: yesGlobal Challenges, Volume 10, Issue 8, August 2026.
Short‐term CO2–water reactions show that crystalline basalt undergoes more extensive carbonation than basaltic glass and is associated with detectable H2 and higher CO and CH4 concentrations. This contrast is consistent with the greater early reactivity of Fe‐ and Mg‐bearing crystalline phases, indicating that basalt mineralogy influences coupled ...

Mineralised ultramafic rocks in South Greenland

open access: yesRapport Grønlands Geologiske Undersøgelse, 1971
In 1960 several mineralised ultramafic boulders with a remarkable content of Pt were found by M. Loretan in the neighbourhood of Sarqa fjord in the Nanortalik district, South Greenland. This stimulated interest in a closer examination of the mafic and ultramafic rocks of South Greenland and in 1962 and 1963 J. P.

Aluminum Phyllosilicate and Jarosite Formation Through Alteration of Reworked Al/Si‐Rich Volcaniclastic Sediments in Nili Fossae, Mars

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Aluminum phyllosilicates occur in 1–10s of km2 exposures of Noachian (∼3.7 Ga) rock across Mars and typically appear stratigraphically above Fe/Mg‐phyllosilicates. These units have been proposed to represent pedogenic basalt weathering sequences.

Petrochemistry of Ultramafic Rock in Baula - Pomalaa Ophiolite Complex, Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia

open access: yesJGEET: Journal of Geoscience, Engineering, Environment and Technology
Baula and Pomalaa Ophiolitic Complexes are part of East Sulawesi Ophiolite (ESO). The ultramafic rocks in the Baula and Pomalaa Ophiolite Complex mainly is peridotite and consist of harzburgite, lherzolite and olivine websterite, mostly serpentinized ...

Uplift of the Transantarctic Mountains: Evidence for an Evolving and Long‐Lived Rayleigh‐Taylor Instability

open access: yesTectonics, Volume 45, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Rayleigh‐Taylor instabilities within the upper mantle are investigated as a mechanism for the uplift of rift‐margin mountain ranges within the continents. Our focus is on the Transantarctic Mountains (TAM). These mountains form at the margin between East and West Antarctica and have been free from the effects of subduction for about 500 ...
