Elasticity of Nacrite: Implications for Subduction Zone Dynamics by Ishita Das, Gaurav Shukla

“…Nacrite, Al2Si2O5(OH)4, a mineral consisting of these components, forms in basaltic crust through hydrothermal alteration and is frequently overlooked due to its structural alikeness with its polytypes, making it hard to distinguish by traditional methods. Its occurrence in oceanic sediments and altered basaltic crust significantly impacts the subduction process by facilitating the transport of water into deeper mantle regions. …”

Geochemical Evaluation of the Kazhdumi Formation in the Northwest of the Persian Gulf by Sadegh Barati Boldaji, Ebrahim Sfidari, Ehsan Hosseiny, Bijan Nouri, Houshang Mehrabi, Saeed Najari

“…These conclusions are confirmed by oxygen-depleted conditions reported in the central to northeastern parts of the central Dezful depression (Bordenave and Hegre 2005; Sfidari et al. 2016).At the same time, the southwest of the basin (the location of Foroozan and Soroosh fields) is influenced by the influx of turbulent river waters and no layering state in the water column (by density) has been created.Therefore, as marine organic materials have been relatively degraded due to the dominance of dryness in the upper parts of the Kazhdumi Formation, this part of the formation has been deposited in marine conditions containing oxygen.On the other hand, the interpretation of tectonic factors on events after the deposition of the Kazhdumi Formation provides clear information on the maturity changes of the Kazhdumi Formation from the Foroozan, Soroosh towards the Hendijan fields. …”
