TL;DR: Isolatednanoclusters, measuring about 10nm and spaced 10−50nm apart, are enriched in incompatible elements including radiogenic Pb with unusually high 207 Pb/ 206 Pbratios as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: Integrated electron nanobeam (EBSD, CL, EDS) and isotopic measurements (U Pb, (U Th)/He) of zircon from the collar and centre of the 80 km wide central uplift of the 2020 −± 3 Ma Vredefort impact st...

Dating the shock wave and thermal imprint of the giant Vredefort impact, South Africa
TL;DR: In this paper, a synimpact to postimpact dike of norite was found in the core of the Vredefort impact structure of South Africa, and the dike is either derived from a Sudbury-type impact melt layer (since eroded) or is the product of decompression melting of Kaapvaal mantle in response to the ablation of >15 km of crust at the center of the crater.

TL;DR: The iMOST team as mentioned in this paper defined a set of science and engineering objectives for the Mars Sample Return (MSR) campaign and provided a framework for demonstrating how the first set of returned Martian samples would impact future Martian science and exploration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Birth of the Kaapvaal Tectosphere 3.08 Billion Years Ago
TL;DR: In this article, an impact-generated section through the Meso-Archean crust of the Kaapvaal craton is mapped and geochronology of an impact generated section through this section indicates tectosphere birth at 3.08 ± 0.01 billion years ago.
