<title>Abstract</title> The evolution of a continental rift towards an ocean ridge appears to be strongly controlled by the magmatic architecture rifting crust. Geophysical evidence from magmatically rifted margins and active rifts suggests that key stage maturation is localisation extensional activity narrow zones. dynamics magma ascent beneath these zones driving further crustal extension eventual breakup. Here we constrain timescales two in Main Ethiopian Rift (MER). At both locations...
Abstract Modeling the planetary heat transport of small bodies in early Solar System allows us to understand geological context meteorite samples. Conductive cooling planetesimals is controlled by thermal conductivity, capacity, and density, which are functions temperature ( T ). We investigate if incorporation ‐dependence properties introduction a nonlinear term equation could result different interpretations origin classes meteorites. have developed finite difference code perform numerical...
Pallasite meteorites contain evidence for vastly different cooling timescales: rapid at high temperatures (K/yrs) and slow lower (K/Myrs). olivine also shows contrasting textures ranging from well-rounded to angular fragmental, some samples record chemical zoning. Previous pallasite formation models have required fortuitous changes the parent body in order explain these timescales textures, including late addition of a megaregolith layer, impact excavation, or break-up recombination. We...

The formation mechanism of pallasite meteorites, which are mixtures Fe-Ni metal and olivine (Figure 1), is not agreed upon within the literature. Formation hypotheses as diverse relict core-mantle region material&#160;[1], catastrophic impact-related mixing&#160;[2], metallic volcanism&#160;[3], fractional melting a chondritic body&#160;[4]&#160;or combination above&#160;[1]&#160;have been suggested. In this abstract, we build on recently published results Murphy...
