The Sierra de Guasayán (Eastern Sierras Pampeanas, Argentina) is formed by low to medium grade metamorphic rocks intruded Cambrian metaluminous (La Soledad quartz-diorite), slightly peraluminous (Guasayán, El Escondido and Martirizado granodiorite plutons), strongly (Alto Bello granodiorite) granitoids of the Pampean magmatic arc. Chemical compositions amphibole, plagioclase, biotite, titanite ...

Ultrahigh temperature (UHT) metamorphism represents the thermally extreme metamorphic conditions in mid- to lower crust, and its generation is significant for our understanding of crustal differentiation crust-mantle interaction. Several Paleoproterozoic UHT localities have been reported from eastern Khondalite Belt, North China Craton. However, precise spatial scale that was affected by this s...

The Svärdsjö Zn-Pb-Cu deposit is situated in the heavily mineralised Bergslagen lithotectonic unit of Fennoscandian shield, south-central Sweden. Intense hydrothermal alteration followed by a strong overprint deformation and metamorphism during Svecokarelian orogeny complicate interpretation local geology. Integration whole-rock lithogeochemical petrographic methods has allowed mainly dacitic v...

Abstract Bengal Fan Miocene sediments were collected during International Ocean Discovery Program Expedition 354 and investigated using petrographic detrital garnet chemistry analyses. The Siwalik Group, which is composed of deposited in the Himalayan foreland basin, was also analyzed for comparison with data provenance change Miocene. Our analyses revealed that Group consist predominantly High...

The present study aims to investigate the textural, mineralogical and geochemical characteristics of lean grade placer monazite from Bramhagiri beach sand deposit assess possibility for its use in industrial applications. bulk back dune with 18 samples showed elements uranium thorium traces, phosphorus calcium minor amounts, alumina, silica titanium major amounts. Since apatite was absent this ...

Spinel + plagioclase symplectites in pelitic metamorphic rocks have been reported from many localities. We report detail an occurrence of this texture Tenmondai Rock, Lützow-Holm Complex, East Antarctica. This is produced by the following reaction; garnet sillimanite = spinel plagioclase. can be described as two net-transfer reactions; 5Grs Alm 12Als 3Hc 15An, and Prp 3Spl 15An. propose new geo...

the cheshin meta-calcareous rocks (permo triassic) in southeast hamedan outcrop in association with a variety of pelitic schists and hornfels rocks. the intrusion of the alvand batholith (jurassic age) into pelitic and calcareous host rocks has produced metamorphic rocks in the hamedan area (cheshin village). on the basis of the dominance of calcite/dolomite, silicate and ore minerals, the calc...
