Lower mantle geotherms, flux, and power from incorporating new experimental and theoretical constraints on heat transport properties in an inverse model

Short summary
Short summary
The previously unknown temperature gradient in Earth's largest layer is uniquely extracted from a seismology average, the only information available. Data used from laboratory studies are minimal and describe general behavior. Adding a new theory and data on heat transport properties provides flux (heat per area per time) and power (total wattage) vs. depth. Temperature vs. depth instead uses an additive constant, which is constrained by data on melting. I show the lower mantle is heating up.

Vanadium carbides in shungite

Short summary
Short summary
Vanadium carbides in shungite are shown to be present in several forms, which reflects the distinctive conditions of their formation. An ordered carbon film revealed on the vanadium carbide particles could protect the particles from transformations for a long time. The parageneses of vanadium carbide and roscoelite occur, indicating that roscoelite in shungite rocks may be a secondary mineral formed upon vanadium carbide decomposition.

Melt–rock interactions in a veined mantle: pyroxenite–peridotite reaction experiments at 2 GPa
Giulio Borghini, Patrizia Fumagalli, and Elisabetta Rampone
Eur. J. Mineral., 34, 109–129, https://doi.org/10.5194/ejm-34-109-2022, https://doi.org/10.5194/ejm-34-109-2022, 2022
Short summary
Short summary
The mineralogical and chemical heterogeneity of the mantle is poorly known because it is not able to be directly investigated. Melt–peridotite interaction processes play a fundamental role in controlling the mantle composition. The results of our reaction experiments help us to evaluate the role of temperature and melt composition in the modification of the mantle through the interaction with pyroxenite-derived melts with implications for the evolution of a veined mantle.

Short summary
Liguowuite, a new member of the non-stoichiometric perovskite group minerals, ideally WO3, has been found in the Panzhihua–Xichang region, China. Liguowuite is monoclinic and is in space group P21 / n, with a = 7.32582(18) Å, b = 7.54767(18) Å, c = 7.71128(18) Å, β = 90.678(3)°, V = 426.348(19) Å3, and Z = 8. According to the hierarchical scheme for perovskite supergroup minerals, liguowuite is the first reported example of A-site vacant single oxide, i.e., a new perovskite subgroup.

On an exceptional sample of wooden crystallographic models from the collection of minerals at the École des Mines de Saint-Étienne (France): description, history, digitalization, duplication

Short summary
The École des Mines de Saint-Étienne possesses an important collection of wooden crystallographic models. Rehabilitation action was undertaken. Several series of Krantz models were identified by the logos and linked to catalogs. An exceptional element was discovered: a polyhedron with 170 facets, from the cubic system. We report on the digitalization work, followed by a description of two duplication methods: 3D printing and precision lost-wax vacuum casting.

Short summary
The studied succession of limestone and marls is enriched in pyrite framboids. The question is, could sulfate-reducing bacteria have been trapped in pyrite sarcophagi induced by their own metabolism? Our analysis reveals the presence of abundant organic matter. The typical morphology of framboids suggests the early fossilization of bacterial colonies by pyrite. If pyrite is a trap for organic molecules, then pyrite could be an underevaluated component of the C cycle.

Carbon-saturated COH fluids in the upper mantle: a review of high-pressure and high-temperature ex situ experiments
Carla Tiraboschi, Francesca Miozzi, and Simone Tumiati
Eur. J. Mineral., 34, 59–75, https://doi.org/10.5194/ejm-34-59-2022, https://doi.org/10.5194/ejm-34-59-2022, 2022
Short summary
Short summary
This review provides an overview of ex situ carbon-saturated COH fluid experiments at upper-mantle conditions. Several authors experimentally investigated the effect of COH fluids. However, fluid composition is rarely tackled as a quantitative issue, and rather infrequently fluids are analyzed as the associated solid phases in the experimental assemblage. Recently, improved techniques have been proposed for analyses of COH fluids, leading to significant advancement in fluid characterization.

The influence of oxygen fugacity and chlorine on amphibole–liquid trace element partitioning at upper-mantle conditions
Enrico Cannaò, Massimo Tiepolo, Giulio Borghini, Antonio Langone, and Patrizia Fumagalli
Eur. J. Mineral., 34, 35–57, https://doi.org/10.5194/ejm-34-35-2022, https://doi.org/10.5194/ejm-34-35-2022, 2022
Short summary
Short summary
Amphibole–liquid partitioning of elements of geological relevance is experimentally derived at conditions compatible with those of the Earth's upper mantle. Experiments are carried out at different oxygen fugacity conditions and variable Cl content in order to investigate their influence on the amphibole–liquid partition coefficients. Our results point to the capability of amphibole to act as filter for trace elements at upper-mantle conditions, oxidized conditions, and Cl-rich environments.

Effect of chlorine on water incorporation in magmatic amphibole: experimental constraints with a micro-Raman spectroscopy approach
Enrico Cannaò, Federica Schiavi, Giulia Casiraghi, Massimo Tiepolo, and Patrizia Fumagalli
Eur. J. Mineral., 34, 19–34, https://doi.org/10.5194/ejm-34-19-2022, https://doi.org/10.5194/ejm-34-19-2022, 2022
Short summary
Short summary
Detailed knowledge of the mechanisms ruling water incorporation in amphibole is essential to understand how much water can be fixed at upper-mantle conditions by this mineral. We provide the experimental evidence of the Cl effect on the oxo-substitution and the incorporation of water in amphibole. Finally, we highlight the versatility of confocal micro-Raman spectroscopy as an analytical tool to quantify water in amphibole.

40Ar/39Ar dating of a hydrothermal pegmatitic buddingtonite–muscovite assemblage from Volyn, Ukraine
Gerhard Franz, Masafumi Sudo, and Vladimir Khomenko
Eur. J. Mineral., 34, 7–18, https://doi.org/10.5194/ejm-34-7-2022, https://doi.org/10.5194/ejm-34-7-2022, 2022
Short summary
Short summary
The age of formation of buddingtonite, ammonium-bearing feldspar, can be dated with the Ar–Ar method; however, it may often give only minimum ages due to strong resetting. In the studied example it gives a Precambrian minimum age of fossils, associated with this occurrence, and the age of the accompanying mineral muscovite indicates an age near 1.5 Ga. We encourage more dating attempts of buddingtonite, which will give valuable information of diagenetic or hydrothermal events.

Vibrational spectroscopic study of three Mg–Ni mineral series in white and greenish clay infillings of the New Caledonian Ni-silicate ores

The study presents and discusses mid- and near-infrared spectra of three Mg–Ni mineral series (serpentine-like and talc-like minerals, sepiolite) commonly found in reactivated faults and sequences of clay infillings of the New Caledonian Ni-silicate deposits. This spectroscopic study sheds light on the nature of the residual mineral phases found in the clay infillings (serpentine-like minerals) and reveals the aptitude of the newly formed minerals (talc-like minerals and sepiolite) to store Ni.

Ellinaite, CaCr2O4, a new natural post-spinel oxide from Hatrurim Basin, Israel, and Juína kimberlite field, Brazil

Short summary
Short summary
Ellinaite, a natural analog of β-CaCr2O4, was discovered at Hatrurim Basin, Israel, and in an inclusion within the super-deep diamond from the Sorriso Creek placer, Brazil. Chemical composition, structural data and physical properties are given for this mineral. It is related to multiple oxides AB2O4 with tunnel structure. This group now includes eight minerals. The overview of ellinaite from all localities suggests different PT–X–fO2 conditions for the mineral and its host rocks.
