Abstract: Abstract The origin of pallasites has been the focus of a number of recent studies. Yet, their formation process remains elusive, while the mechanism leading to the genesis of the sub-group termed ‘mixed type’ pallasites… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.epsl.2021.117117
Abstract: Abstract Significant reduction in mechanical properties, i.e., elastic moduli and seismic wave velocities, as well as enhanced inelastic attenuation is often associated with areas of partially molten rocks. In this paper we suggest a new… read more here.

DOI: 10.1130/l670.1
Abstract: We use structural, petrographic, and geochronological data to examine processes of exhumation of partially molten crust in the Late Devonian–early Carboniferous Chandman dome in the Mongolian tract of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt. The dome… read more here.
