A composite reference section for terminal proterozoic strata of southern Namibia.
Integrated sequence stratigraphic and chemostratigraphic data yield a framework for correlations of stratigraphic units in the terminal Proterozoic to Cambrian Witvlei and Nama Groups of Namibia. Coupled with precise U-Pb zircon age constraints, these correlations make it possible to construct a composite reference section for use in calibrating terminal Proterozoic chronostratigraphy. The Nami...
متن کاملPetrology, geochemistry, and petrogenesis of mafic dykes from the Kermanshah Ophiolite in Sahneh-Harsin area of Western Iran
The Kermanshah ophiolite complex is a part of the Mediterranean–Zagros–Oman Tethyan ophiolites, located in the structural–tectonic zone of western Iran in the northern part of the Zagros main thrust. Doleritic sheeted dykes are well exposed within the ophiolite in the south of Sahneh. These dykes contain high MgO, Na2O, low TiO2 (2O5, and K2O contents, and high FeOt/MgO and LILE/HFSE ratios. Th...
متن کامل19. Petrology of Siliceous Rocks Recovered from Marginal Seas of the Western Pacific, Leg 31, Deep Sea Drilling Project
Siliceous sedimentary rocks of Tertiary age were recovered at three of the nine sites drilled during Leg 31 (Table 1). Only relatively small amounts of lithified material were retrieved, but these rocks are particularly interesting because they include three distinct types of siliceous rock and because each type occurs with a distinct sediment lithology. The kinds of rocks sampled are (with lit...
متن کاملGeochemistry and petrology of gabbrodiorites from Palang Dar Area (Northeast Damghan)
Palang Dar gabbrodioritic intrusion cropped out in about 30 Km NE of Damghan in the eastern part of the Alborz structural unit. In this area a few small-scale gabbrodioritic intrusions and diabasic dikes with Middle Jurassic age intruded into shale, sandstones and limestones of Shemshak Formation. Emplacement of this intrusion into host rocks are associated with contact metamorphism and formati...
متن کاملPetrology, tectonic setting and ore mineralization potential of basic rocks in north of Alvand complex, using amphibole and plagioclase composition
The Alvand complex (Hamedan province) comprises several bodies ranging from acidic to intermediate and basic compositions intruded in the regional metamorphic sequence of the area (the Hamedan phyllites) during various magmatic episodes in Jurassic. In northern part of the complex (the Cheshmeh-ghasaban area) there are some outcrops of hornblende gabbro and olivine gabbronorite. The olivine-gab...
