The Wadi Hodein area contains a wide variety of late Precambrian igneous and metamorphic rocks, represented by gneisses, serpentinites, metagabbros, metasediments, metavolcanics, metagabbro-diorite, granodiorite and granitoids. The Wadi Hodein metavolcanics (WHV), including G. Khashab and G. El Anbat, represent one of the significant metavolcanic suites in the southern part of the Nubian Shield...

Volcán San Pedro in the Andean Southern Volcanic Zone (SVZ) Consequently, the role of young, unradiogenic hydrous gabbro in Chile, comprises Holocene basaltic to dacitic lavas with trace generating dacite and contaminating basalt may be underappreciated element and strontium isotope ratios more variable than those of in the SVZ. most Pleistocene lavas of the underlying Tatara–San Pedro complex....

The 4.5 km deep IDDP-2 drill hole was drilled at Reykjanes, Iceland, in an active seawater-recharged hydrothermal system on the landward extension Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Drilling targeted a well-defined up-flow zone feeding Reykjanes geothermal reservoir, which produces fluids compositionally equivalent to basalt-hosted sea vents. Spot cores recovered from depths between 3,648 4,659 m consist of p...

taposed along the north-trending, high-angle Nahlin fault; all three tectonic elements are intruded by the Late Cretaceous Atlin Mountain pluton (Figure 1-19-2). The oldest rocks in the eastern domain are Mississippian to Triassic oceanic; crustal and sedimentary rocks of the Cache Creek Complex. These include ultramafite, basalt, limestone, chert, argillite and wacke, and probably a mixed ultr...

granitoid rocks of kaje area, northwest ferdows, with the composition of diorite, monzodiorite, monzonite, monzogranite, syenogranite and granite, with calk-alkaline and high potassium affinities, have trace and rare earth element geochemical characteristics similar to those from subduction zones, belonging to i-type granitoid rocks. most of these rocks are oxidized (magnetite series), while on...
