Hommage à Kuppusami Govindaraju

C’est avec une profonde tristesse que les membres du CRPG ont appris le décès de Kuppusami Govindaraju, affectueusement appelé « Raj » par ses collègues scientifiques en France et dans le monde entier, survenu en janvier dernier. Figure majeure de la géoanalytique, Raj a joué un rôle déterminant — et sans doute prééminent en Europe

Oxygen isotope compositions of chondrules in enstatite chondrites: insights from relict olivine, chondrule size and redox state

Marrocchi Y., Piani L., Thomassin D. & Jacquet E. (2026) Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta 414, 62-74, 10.1016/j.gca.2025.12.036 Voir en ligne : https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gca.2025.12.036 The recent discovery in ordinary chondrites of a population of small, sub-TFL (i.e., negative Δ17O; TFL = Terrestrial Fractionation Line) chondrules isotopically similar to relict grains in larger chondrules offered a glimpse into the

Demantoid garnet deposits: review and geological classification

Gaston Giuliani, Isabella Pignatelli, Julien Feneyrol, Anthony E. Fallick, Alfred Andriamamonjy The Canadian Journal of Mineralogy and Petrology (2025) 63 (5): 421–465. Voir en ligne : https://doi.org/10.3749/2500010 The aim of this extended review and update is to present the state-of-the-art on the geology and gemology of the demantoid variety of andradite garnet. A number of studies

Formation conditions and chemical composition of early-condensed olivine in the solar protoplanetary disk

Elian Ochem , Yves Marrocchi Icarus 445, 116859, 10.1016/j.icarus.2025.116859 Voir en ligne : https://doi.org/10.1016/j.icarus.2025.116859 The dynamic evolution of the solar protoplanetary disk led to the formation of the first solar system solids by condensation, among which amoeboid olivine aggregates (AOAs) are the most abundant. The conditions under which AOAs formed remain poorly constrained, with both equilibrium

Origin of the mass-dependent germanium isotopic continuum in the early Solar System

Béatrice Luais, Guillaume Florin Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 672, 119663 Voir en ligne : https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl.2025.119663 The warm, reduced, volatile-poor inner Solar System and cold, oxidized, volatile-rich outer Solar System are characterized by neutron-poor and neutron-rich isotopic anomalies, respectively. Nucleosynthetic isotopic anomalies recorded in meteorites, asteroidal bodies, and planets are thus indicative of their regions of
