American
Mineralogist
American Mineralogist (Am Min) is the flagship journal of the Mineralogical Society of America (MSA), continuously published since 1916. Am Min is home to some of the most important advances in the Earth and Planetary Sciences with a mineralogical focus in the broadest sense. Our mission is a continuation of this heritage: to provide readers with reports on exciting, original scientific research, both fundamental and applied, with far-reaching implications and far-ranging appeal.
The acceptance-to-final publication timeframe is approximately eight months on average. The accepted paper is live on the Early Publication site shortly after the editor’s final decision.

Figure 4. X-ray micrograph of one rock-scale experiments of DeAngelis (2007). Ca K↵ intensity is in the blue and green channels and Mg K↵ is in the red channel. The rock core was heated to 700 °C at 100 MPa for 59 d. Periclase is absent from the reaction products near the edge of the core, and nesquehonite is on the surface.
