Abstract Knowledge graph (KG) is a topic of great interests to geoscientists as it can be
deployed throughout the data life cycle in data-intensive geoscience studies. Nevertheless …

A systematic survey of 57 different paragenetic modes distributed among 5659 mineral
species reveals patterns in the diversity and distribution of minerals related to their evolving …

Presolar grains are microscopic dust grains that formed in the stellar winds or explosions of
ancient stars that died before the formation of the solar system. The majority (~ 90% in …

Abstract The Presolar Grain Database (PGD) contains the vast majority of isotope data
(published and unpublished) on presolar grains and was first released as a collection of …

The mineral kingdom has experienced dramatic increases in diversity and complexity
through billions of years of planetary evolution as a consequence of a sequence of physical …

How does one best subdivide nature into kinds? All classification systems require rules for
lum** similar objects into the same category, while splitting differing objects into separate …

Part VII of the evolutionary system of mineralogy catalogs, analyzes, and visualizes
relationships among 919 natural kinds of primary igneous minerals, corresponding to 1665 …

Presolar grains are trace components in chondrite matrices. Their abundances and
compositions have been systematically studied in carbonaceous chondrites but rarely in situ …

Part VIII of the evolutionary system of mineralogy focuses on 1220 metamorphic mineral
species, which correspond to 755 root mineral kinds associated with varied metamorphic …

Abstract We report NanoSIMS Si and Mg–Al isotopic data (and C, N, and Ti isotopic data,
when available) for 85 submicron-to micron-sized presolar SiC grains from the CM2 …
