Ming Tang, Cin-Ty A. Lee, Gelu Costin, Heidi E. Höfer Abstract The Earth’s continental crust is thought to originate from melting of the mantle, but it is too felsic and depleted in Fe relative to a primary mantle melt. This depletion in Fe is also commonly found in continental arc magmas and is often attributed […]
Marina A. Yudovskaya, Gelu Costin, Vladimir Shilovskikh, Ilya Chaplygin, Matthew McCreesh, Judith Kinnaird Abstract Textures of Bushveld chromite from thin seams and accessory disseminations in the Platreef and the northernmost Waterberg Project area were compared with textures of xenocrystic chromite from mantle xenoliths found in Neogene basalt in the Kurile Island Arc. The sieve-textured to symplectic rims around the resorbed chromite in […]
Sedimentary organic matter characterization of the Whitehill shales (Karoo Basin, South Africa): An integrated quantitative approach using FE-EPMA and LA-ICP-MS Gelu Costin, Annette E. Götz, Katrin Ruckwied Permian black shales of South Africa’s Karoo Basin have been classified as potential unconventional gas resources, the Whitehill Formation of the southern basin parts being the main target […]
Subduction relics in the subcontinental lithospheric mantle: evidence from variation in the δ18O value of eclogite xenoliths from the Kaapvaal Craton Ioana-Bogdana Radu, Chris Harris, Bertrand N. Moine, Gelu Costin & Jean-Yves Cottin Mantle eclogites are commonly accepted as evidence for ancient altered subducted oceanic crust preserved in the subcontinental lithospheric mantle (SCLM), yet the […]
Clinopyroxene megacrysts from Marion Island, Antarctic Ocean: evidence for a late stage shallow origin James Roberts, Keabetswe D. Lehong, Andries E. J. Botha, Gelu Costin, Frikkie C. De Beer, Willem J. Hoffman and Callum J. Hetherington Clinopyroxene megacrysts (up to 5 cm) from a scoria cone on Marion Island, Antarctic Ocean are zoned, with compositionally distinct low (Al + Ti) and high (Al + Ti) patches arranged haphazardly throughout crystals. […]
Nb/Ta systematics in arc magma differentiation and the role of arclogites in continent formation Ming Tang, Cin-Ty A. Lee, Kang Chen, Monica Erdman, Gelu Costin and Hehe Jiang The surfaces of rocky planets are mostly covered by basaltic crust, but Earth is unique in that it also has extensive regions of felsic crust, manifested in […]
Anhydrite assimilation by ultramafic melts of the Bushveld Complex, and its consequences to petrology and mineralization Yudovskaya, M.A., Sluzhenikin, S.F., Costin, G., Shatagin, K.N., Dubinina, E.O., Grobler, D.F., Ueckermann, H., and Kinnaird1, J.A. in “Metals, Minerals and Society”, Special Publication no. 21, Society of Economic Geologists, Chapter 9, pp. 177-206 Abstract Sulfate assimilation by mafic to ultramafic […]
A non-van der Waals 2D Material from natural titanium mineral ore Ilmenite Puthirath Balan, A., Radhakrishnan, S., Kumar, R., Neupane, R., Sinha, S.K., Deng, L., de los Reyes, C.A., Apte, A., Rao, B.M., Paulose, M., Vajtai, R., Chu, C.W., Costin, G., Marti, A.A., Varghese, O.K., Singh, A.K., Tiwary, C.S., Anantharaman, M.R., Ajayan, P.M Chemistry of […]
Impurity controlled crystal growth in low dimensional bismuth telluride Sharifi, T., Yazdi, S., Costin, G., Apte, A., Coulter, G., Tiwary, C., and Ajayan, P.M. Chemistry of Materials, https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs.chemmater.8b02548 ABSTRACT Topological insulators, such as layered Bi2Te3, exhibit extraordinary properties, manifesting profoundly only at nanoscale thicknesses. However, it has been challenging to synthesize these structures with controlled thickness. […]
