A closed depression in the Noctis Labyrinthus region of Mars (at 10.4° S, 98.6° W), believed
to have formed in the Late Hesperian, holds an inner pit partially filled with several hundred …

Variations in clay–mineral assemblages in ancient continental deposits are frequently used
to reconstruct past climate changes. In active settings, volcanic events can supply highly …

Rhyolitic tuffs are readily found within the Northwestern Croatian Triassic Rift Basin which
akems the southernmost segment of the geotectonic unit of the Southern Alps. The latter …

This research is focused on the characteristics and origin of major authigenic minerals and

Identification of phyllosilicates and short-range ordered (SRO) materials on Mars has led to
new insights about the early martian climate and habitability. Phyllosilicates were first …

Different sources of calcium have important effects on the formation and distribution of
carbonate cements. On the basis of identifying all possible sources of calcium …

In this study, we present clay mineral records from a late Pleistocene loess-paleosol
sequence in the Ili Basin, Central Asia, and assess their significance for paleoclimatic …

Continental carbonates are rich in palaeoclimatic, palaeoenvironmental and
