Hydrothermal Processes and Mineral Systems
TL;DR: Cawood et al. as discussed by the authors studied the geodynamics and temporal evolution of hydrothermal mineral systems and associated with meteorite impacts on Earth and other planets and satellites, such as Uranium and Earth's magnetic field.
Journal ArticleDOI
Major types and time–space distribution of Mesozoic ore deposits in South China and their geodynamic settings
TL;DR: In this article, the authors suggest that the three major magmatic-mineralization episodes are the result of distinct geodynamic regimes, based on mineral assemblage, age, and space-time distribution of these mineral systems, integrated with regional geological data and field observations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence for early life in Earth’s oldest hydrothermal vent precipitates
Matthew S. Dodd,Matthew S. Dodd,Dominic Papineau,Dominic Papineau,Tor Grenne,John F. Slack,Martin Rittner,Franco Pirajno,Jonathan O'Neil,Crispin T. S. Little +9 more
TL;DR: Observations from ferruginous sedimentary rocks from the Nuvvuagittuq belt in Quebec, Canada are consistent with an oxidized biomass and provide evidence for biological activity in submarine-hydrothermal environments more than 3,770 million years ago.
Journal ArticleDOI
Distinct mantle sources of low-Ti and high-Ti basalts from the western Emeishan large igneous province, SW China: implications for plume–lithosphere interaction
TL;DR: In this article, the best-exposed lava succession in the western ELIP is studied in order to further constrain their petrogenesis and plume-lithosphere interaction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tectonic implications from Re–Os dating of Mesozoic molybdenum deposits in the East Qinling–Dabie orogenic belt

TL;DR: The East Qinling-Dabie molybdenum belt is part of a larger East-West trending metallogenic belt in eastern China as mentioned in this paper, where most of the molybordenum deposits occur as porphyries or porphyry-skarn type, but there are also some vein type deposits.
