Results from analogue inversion experiments of extensional basins parallel and oblique to their boundaries with inferences from the European eastern Southern Alps

This image dataset contains results (original top-view and cross-section photographs) obtained from a series of 12 crustal-scale physical analogue modelling experiments performed in the Tectonic Modelling Laboratory (TecLab) at Utrecht University. We employed analogue modelling to study the inversion of extensional basins that are parallel and oblique to their boundaries. The key parameters of this study are: (i) the obliquity angle (0°, 10° or 20°) of shortening in relation to the strike of the initial rift structures; (ii) the basal décollement rheology; and (iii) the rheology of the basin fill. All analogue experiments are rectangular, 2 cm thick and consist of deformable brittle or brittle–ductile layers. Deformable parts in entirely brittle models are made of a homogeneous layer of quartz sand for the initial, non-stretched, pre-rift model crust. The subsequently resulting grabens are filled with syn- to post-extensional sediments of quartz sand, feldspar sand, or glass beads. Variations to these setups entail either a brittle layer of glass beads at the base of the above described brittle crust, or, for brittle-ductile models, a viscous layer of PDMS silicone putty with fillers. All experiments are built on one fixed above two mobile plastic sheets, their transition is pre-defining velocity discontinuities (VDs). In a first stage, deformation is induced in all models by two electric motors pulling the two mobile plastic sheets in opposite directions parallel to the backstop. These sheets are then fixed once the extensional phase is finished. VDs positioned both orthogonally and obliquely with respect to the backstop allow graben structures to form at angles of 0°, 10° and 20° to the subsequent shortening direction. In a second stage, a rigid backstop moves into the model to create compressive deformation within the entirely brittle or brittle-ductile layers. Top-view photographs were taken at regular time intervals throughout each experiment (see below for details). Cross-section photographs were taken at the end of each experiment. Therefore, the top-view photographs enable surface deformation to be tracked and analysed through time and space, while the cross-sections demonstrate the overall vertical deformation of each model. For more details about the models, see Sieberer et al. (2023). The properties of the materials used are described in Sieberer et al. (2023), Klinkmüller et al. (2016) and Willingshofer et al. (2018). All models are scaled according to the principles of geometric, rheological, and kinematic similarity between nature and models (Hubbert, 1937; Weijermars & Schmeling, 1986).

Magnetic biomonitoring of airborne metallic particles using lichen transplants on cultural heritage – The Jerónimos Monastery, Lisbon, Portugal. Preliminary Results

Magnetic biomonitoring employing lichens transplants is a non-invasive and low-cost method to evaluate airborne particulate matter (PM) pollution originated from urban traffic. This study was designed to assess the indoor deposition of traffic-related PM within the 16th-century Jerónimos Monastery in Lisbon, employing lichen transplants exposed during two distinct periods of 11weeks each. Data includes the low field magnetic susceptibility values for all the lichen transplants, exposed during summer 2024.

Rheology of PDMS Korasilon G20OH (#1000039264) used at the Laboratory for Experimental Tectonics at GFZ Helmholtz Centre for Geosciences, Potsdam, Germany

This dataset provides rheometric data of the PDMS Korasilon G 20 OH used for analogue modelling at the Laboratory for Experimental Tectonics at GFZ Helmholtz Centre for Geosciences, Potsdam, Germany. The batch number is 1000039264, purchased in 2022 and opened in 2026. The material sample has been analyzed at the Laboratory for Experimental Tectonics at GFZ Helmholtz Centre for Geosciences, Potsdam (HelTec) using an Anton Paar Physica MCR 301 rheometer in a cone-plate configuration at room temperature (21˚C). Rotational (controlled shear rate) tests with shear rates varying from 10^-4 to 10^-1 s^-1 were performed. According to our rheometric analysis, the material is quasi-Newtonian (n~1) at strain rates below 10^-2 s^-1 and weakly shear rate thinning above. The viscosity of G 20 OH is 1.8*10^4 Pa s.

Petrological, geochemical and isotopic characterization of kamafugites from East-Central Africa, Italy and Brazil: a review

Kamafugites are 'exotic igneous rocks' with mineralogical and chemical compositions that differ from those observed in common magmas. Despite their importance, kamafugites are still a poorly constrained topic and they lack a general petrological model due to their variable petrographic, geochemical and isotopic features. A detailed comparison among kamafugites is necessary to obtain a deeper understanding of the processes involved in their petrogenesis and of their strongly metasomatised mantle sources. Therefore, this data publication doesn’t only provide new geochemical and isotopic data from kamafugites, but a comprehensive data compilation for kamafugite samples in the Western branch of the East Africa Rift (WEAR) in Uganda and Democratic Republic of Congo, the Intra-Apennine Province (IAP), as well as for the Alto Paranaiba (APIP) and Goiás (GAP) provinces in Brazil. 97 kamafugite whole-rock data for the WEAR, 42 for IAP and 51 for APIP and GAP have been collected and compared to highlight similarities and differences, aiming to reconstruct their petrogenesis. The new data in this data publication results from work conducted at Laboratory of Geochronology and Radiogenic Isotope Geochemistry - Pisa1 (IGG-CNR, Italy) supported by WP3 ILGE - MEET project, PNRR - EU Next Generation Europe program, MUR grant number D53C22001400005.

Cathodoluminescence zoning images of Lower El Cajete quartz and sanidine crystals, Valles Caldera, New Mexico, USA

The Valles Caldera, New Mexico, USA was created by two caldera-forming eruptions at ~1.6 and ~1.1 Myr. Since then, post-caldera activity has consisted of lava domes, lava flows, large explosive phases, and a hydrothermal system active today. Possibly the youngest eruption sequence, El Cajete, was emplaced 74.4 ± 1.3 ka (Zimmerer et al., 2016) and began with pyroclastic surges, followed by pyroclastic density currents (PDCs) and pumice-rich Plinian pyroclastic fall (Self et al., 1988). The objective of this project was to characterize crystal grains from the early El Cajete sequence, in terms of morphology and textures, using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The early El Cajete differs from the later part of the sequence in its greater stratigraphic and lithologic complexity, having been formed from not only pyroclastic fall (like the later El Cajete) but also surge beds and PDCs. This dataset was collected under the national open access action at Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia, Sezione di Pisa SEM/EDS facility supported by WP3 ILGE – MEET project, PNRR – EU Next Generation Europe program, MUR grant number D53C22001400005. This allowed me to obtain the present dataset of 31 cathodoluminescence (CL) images of 30 quartz crystals and one sanidine crystal.

Results from analogue inversion experiments of inherited structures controlling deformation and uplift with implications for the European eastern Southern Alps

This image dataset contains results (original top-view and cross-section photographs) obtained from a series of 4 crustal-scale physical analogue modelling experiments performed in the Tectonic Modelling Laboratory (TecLab) at Utrecht University. The experiments have been designed to allow comparison with the European eastern Southern Alps but are also relevant for other regions where lateral mechanical and structural heterogeneities within fold-and-thrust belts of inverted rift structures occur. Key features of our experiments include: (i) a predefined basin and platform configuration following Sieberer et al. (2023) and representing the result of Triassic to Jurassic rifting, (ii) a platform with lateral strength variations representing compositional heterogeneity related to Permian igneous activity and (iii) a basal plate representing an inherited basement structure. All analogue experiments are rectangular, maximum 2.0 cm thick, and are made of deformable layers only, except for Model 4 where a rigid basal plate is partly incorporated. The deformable part of all models is made of one homogeneous layer of dry quartz sand for the pre-defined post-rift model crust. The pre-defined platform and basin geometry yields lateral strength differences controlled by differences in layer thickness, with thinner (1.4 cm) compartments simulating overall weaker, rifted basin domains (e.g., alternations of limestone, marl, clay) compared to the thicker (1.8 to 2.0 cm) platform succession, simulating continental upper crust (e.g., basement rocks, carbonate platforms, volcanic rocks). All experiments are built on a table and on top of a fixed plastic sheet of 0.05 cm thickness and are shortened orthogonal to the backstop at a rate of 3 cm/h. We decided for simple orthogonal inversion models with shortening parallel to the axis of the eastern platform. Top-view photographs were taken at regular time intervals throughout each experiment (see below for details). Cross-section photographs were taken at the end of each experiment. Therefore, the top-view photographs enable surface deformation to be tracked and analysed through time and space, while the cross-sections demonstrate the overall vertical deformation of each model. For more details about the models, see Sieberer et al. (2025). The properties of the materials used are described in Sieberer et al. (2025) and Willingshofer et al. (2018). All models are scaled according to the principles of geometric, rheological, and kinematic similarity between nature and models (Hubbert, 1937; Weijermars & Schmeling, 1986).

Microstructure and mechanical properties of massive and porous of lavas from S. Miguel Island (Azores, Portugal)

The role of elongated pores and crystals of lavas influences their mechanical and physical behaviour, providing a first microstructural clue. In the context of a doctoral project, two samples – a trachyte and a basalt/andesite (s.l.) - representative of Fogo Volcano (S. Miguel Island, Azores, Portugal) were collected as part of an intact rock study. They were microstructurally assessed in the INGV-OV (Naples) using the ZEISS Xradia Versa 410 X-ray computed microtomography to obtain high-resolution 3D images, as well as to perform real-time in-situ mechanical tests (uniaxial – 7 mm diameter cylinders - and Brazilian – 13 mm diameter discs) to assess how elongated pores/crystals control strength. In addition to 3D images of the samples, which allow segmentation of the pore space and crystals, mechanical tests show that trachytes are more competent than vesicular basalts/andesites. Both pores and crystals control the development of the crack pattern.

CAMSIZER Particle Size Data from Explosive Paroxysms of Mt. Etna (2011–2025)

Mt. Etna in Catania, Italy, is an active volcano that has served as a natural laboratory for many volcanologists worldwide. Its paroxysms are unique eruptive events caused by a complex magmatic system that, despite being one of the most studied volcanoes, there is still an open field to contribute to the understanding of magma dynamics and degassing. This data set is a compilation of grain-size and shape measurements of 14 tephra samples of Mt. Etna. The tephra samples correspond to some of the most explosive cycles and events of the volcano from 2011 to 2025. The measurements were obtained using CAMSIZER through the ILGE TNA grant funding at INGV sezione di Catania. This dataset is the basis for a research project investigating the controls on the volume of gases and magma emitted during an eruption of Mt. Etna. This publication results from work conducted under the transnational access/national open access action at Sedimentology Laboratory – INGV sezione di Catania supported by WP3 ILGE - MEET project, PNRR - EU Next Generation Europe program, MUR grant number D53C22001400005.

Trace element concentration of minerals in the Morro São João malignites (Serra do Mar, Brazil)

The Morro São João intrusion is located in the easternmost part of the Serra do Mar province, along the Cabo Frio lineament (Fig. 1) and has an area of approximately 10 km². It is a Late Cretaceous intrusion formed by clinopyroxenites, melagabbros, shonkinites, malignites, nepheline syenites, and phonolite dikes, without olivine, and is thought to have formed by closed system crystallization of a fairly evolved tephritic melt of potassic/ultrapotassic affinity (cf. Brotzu et al., 2007). We have analyzed two malignites, and specifically, their liquidus phases (clinopyroxene, titanite, garnet, amphibole). Analyzing the trace elements in these minerals helps us to better understand the different fractionation of the elements in these coexisting phases, and the implications for the evolution processes that occurred in the Morro São João magma reservoir. These analyses also provided important information about the concentration of rare earth elements (REEs) and high field strength elements (HFSEs), and their change with the magmatic evolution of the suite.
