    Preferred orientations of garnet porphyroblasts reveal previously cryptic templating during nucleation

    Electron back scattered diffraction data of garnet crystals from the Nelson Aureole, British Columbia and the Mosher’s Island formation, Nova Scotia, reveals that 22 garnet crystals are all oriented with one o...

    Sulphur and carbon cycling in the subduction zone mélange

    Subduction zones impose an important control on the geochemical cycling between the surficial and internal reservoirs of the Earth. Sulphur and carbon are transferred into Earth’s mantle by subduction of pelag...

    Serpentinization, element transfer, and the progressive development of zoning in veins: evidence from a partially serpentinized harzburgite

    Serpentinization is an important geochemical process that affects the chemistry and petrophysical properties of the oceanic lithosphere and supports life through abiogenic formation of hydrogen. Here, we docu...

    Controls on solid-phase inclusion during porphyroblast growth: insights from the Barrovian sequence (Scottish Dalradian)

    A series of Barrovian sequence samples ranging from garnet to sillimanite zones were investigated to infer their porphyroblast-forming reactions and mineral inclusion histories. Quartz is overgrown and partly ...

    Hydrothermal processes in partially serpentinized peridotites from Costa Rica: evidence from native copper and complex sulfide assemblages

    Native metals and metal alloys are common in serpentinized ultramafic rocks, generally representing the redox and sulfur conditions during serpentinization. Variably serpentinized peridotites from the Santa El...

    Melt migration in basalt columns driven by crystallization-induced pressure gradients

    The structure of columnar-jointed lava flows and intrusions has fascinated people for centuries and numerous hypotheses on the mechanisms of formation of columnar jointing have been proposed. In cross-section,...

    Quantifying the tectono-metamorphic evolution of pelitic rocks from a wide range of tectonic settings: mineral compositions in equilibrium

    Commonly used thermometer and barometer calibrations are sensitive to mineral assemblage and, thus, bulk-rock composition. Calculated mineral stabilities for an average pelitic rock over a pressure–temperature (P...
