Government conservation policies on Mexican coastal areas: is "top-down" management working? by Héctor Nava, M. Teresa Ramírez-Herrera

“…Sedimentation rate, water transparency, chlorophyll and total suspended solids were recorded underwater in each site for environmental characterization. 50 photo-quadrants on five transects were surveyed between 3-4m depth to record coverage (%) of living corals, dead corals, algae, sand and rocks. The conservation status of coral reefs was assessed by the coral mortality index (MI). …”

Evolution of Pyrite Compositions at the Sizhuang Gold Deposit, Jiaodong Peninsula, Eastern China: Implications for the Genesis of Jiaodong-Type Orogenic Gold Mineralization by Zhankun Liu, Xiancheng Mao, Andrew Jedemann, Richard C. Bayless, Hao Deng, Jin Chen, Keyan Xiao

“…Three main types of pyrite are identified: (1) the first generation of pyrite (Py1) occurs as disseminated euhedral to subhedral grains in K-feldspar-albite-rutile-hematite and sericite alteration (stage 1), (2) Py2 as aggregates in quartz-sericite-pyrite altered rocks or quartz-pyrite veins (stage 2) can be subdivided into Py2a as irregular cores, Py2b as a zoned overgrowth on Py2a, and Py2c as overgrowth on early pyrite, and (3) Py3 as fine-grained crystals in siderite-polymetallic veins (stage 3). …”

The significance of U–Pb zircon ages in zoned plutons: the case of the Flamenco pluton, Coastal Range batholith, northern Chile by Natalia Rodríguez, Juan Díaz-Alvarado, Carlos Fernández, Paulina Fuentes, Christoph Breitkreuz, Colombo Celso Gaeta Tassinari

“…Zircon overgrowths in the host rocks yield similar ages (around 220 Ma and 205 Ma) than the oldest results obtained in the intrusive facies, indicating that metamorphism correlates with the initial stages of plutonic emplacement.Geochronological results differ between 9 Myr and 41 Myr in the eight studied samples for non-inherited ages and gave very close mean ages (within analytical uncertainty) for all the intrusive units. …”

Key technologies for the efficient development of ultra-deep ancient dolomite karst gas reservoirs: A case study of the Sinian Dengying Formation gas reservoir in the Anyue gas fie... by Jun Xie, Gui'an Guo, Qingsong Tang, Xian Peng, Hui Deng, Wei Xu

“…Fourth, based on the distinguished drilling technology of highly-deviated wells/horizontal wells in deep carbonate rocks, the fault complexity ratio is decreased from 20.7% to 4.9%, so safe and fast drilling and completion of highly-deviated wells/horizontal wells is realized and well control risks are diminished. …”

TECTONOPHYSICAL EVIDENCES OF GEODYNAMIC EVOLUTION OF THE PRIKOLYMA TERRAIN (NORTH-EASTERN REGIONS OF RUSSIA) by Anton N. Glukhov, Andrey S. Gladkov, Denis A. Koshkarev, Oksana V. Lunina

“…It is generally composed of the Proterozoic deposits, including sandstones, metapellites, quartz-feldspar and carbonate rocks, meta- and hyperbasites. The Prikolyma terrain represents a fragment of passive margin of the North-Asian craton that was detached in the Middle Paleozoic due to progressing rifting. …”

Relatively oxidized conditions for diamond formation at Udachnaya (Siberia) by L. Faccincani, V. Cerantola, V. Cerantola, F. Nestola, P. Nimis, L. Ziberna, L. Ziberna, L. Pasqualetto, A. I. Chumakov, J. W. Harris, M. Coltorti

“…Cr-bearing spinels are relatively common inclusions found in peridotitic diamonds and important oxybarometers providing information about the oxygen fugacity (<span class="inline-formula"><i>f</i></span>O<span class="inline-formula">₂</span>) of their source mantle rocks. Here, we investigated a magnesiochromite–olivine touching pair in a diamond from the Udachnaya kimberlite (Siberia) by in situ single-crystal X-ray diffraction and energy-domain synchrotron Mössbauer spectroscopy, aiming to constrain the physical–chemical conditions of diamond formation and to explore the redox state of this portion of the Siberian craton when the diamond was formed.…”

The naked planet Earth: Most essential pre-requisite for the origin and evolution of life by S. Maruyama, M. Ikoma, H. Genda, K. Hirose, T. Yokoyama, M. Santosh

“…Among the life-building nutrients, phosphorus and potassium play a key role. Only three types of rocks can serve as an adequate source of nutrients: (a) continent-forming TTG (granite), enabling the evolution of primitive life to metazoans; (b) primordial continents carrying anorthosite with KREEP (Potassium, Rare Earth Elements, and Phosphorus) basalts, which is a key to bear life; (c) carbonatite magma, enriched in radiogenic elements such as U and Th, which can cause mutation to speed up evolution and promote the birth of new species in continental rift settings. …”
