Reactivation of a transcrustal plumbing system during a rifting event (Asal Rift, Djibouti)

Juliette Pin, Lydéric France, Gilles Chazot, Etienne Deloule, Mohamed Ahmed Daoud, Bernard Le Gall Geology (2026) 54 (4): 348–353. Voir en ligne : https://doi.org/10.1130/G53776.1 Magmatism plays a central role in rift dynamics, yet the structure and evolution of magma plumbing systems during continental break-up remain poorly constrained. The Afar Rift offers a rare opportunity to study

A fast double-stack chromatographic separation of germanium from silicate material for isotope analysis with MC-ICP-MS

Qasid Ahmad, Damien Cividini & Béatrice Luais Journal of Analytical Atomic Spectrometry, 41(3), 935–941 Voir en ligne : https://doi.org/10.1039/D5JA00471C Germanium (Ge) isotope measurements (δ74/70Ge relative to NIST3120a) have attracted increasing attention in geochemistry and cosmochemistry; however, analyses of silicate material with low Ge contents remain difficult due to complex sample preparation and purification procedures. Here, we

The importance of considering temperature- and composition-dependent partition coefficients in differentiation models

Toussaint A., France L. Lithos, Volumes 522–523, February 2026, 108395 Voir en ligne : https://doi.org/10.1016/j.lithos.2025.108395 Quantifying the parameters that govern magma differentiation is key to understanding the evolution of igneous systems. We present an approach combining thermodynamic modeling of magma differentiation using Rhyolite-MELTS with chemical composition, temperature, pressure, and oxygen fugacity (X-T-P-fO2)-dependent partition coefficients (D) for

Hidden Early Clinopyroxene Relicts Record Reactive Porous Flow in Oceanic Plutonic Series

Falc’Hun C., France L. Journal of Petrology, 2026, 67, egag004 Voir en ligne : https://doi.org/10.1093/petrology/egag004 Almost two-thirds of the Earth’s magmatic budget is concentrated at mid-ocean ridges, with 85% of this being emplaced as intrusive rocks. In these systems, now understood to consist mostly of a crystal-dominated igneous medium (mush), melt differentiation at depth is predominantly

H-N budgets and isotopic signatures of Oued Chebeika 002 and CI reservoir heterogeneity

Marrocchi Y., Füri E., Zimmermann L. & Piani L. Geochemical Perspective Letters, 39, 7-11, 10.7185/geochemlet.2605 Voir en ligne : https://doi.org/10.7185/geochemlet.2605 We report the hydrogen (H) and nitrogen (N) elemental and isotopic compositions of the recently recovered CI chondrite Oued Chebeika 002 (OC 002) and compare them with published data for other CI meteorites and CI-like samples
