Field evidences, petrographic features and geochemical studies show that the garnet-muscovite granitoids of Boland Parchin area are S-type and they have sharp contact with the host rocks (metamorphic rocks). Granitoids of Boland Parchin contain minerals such as quartz, K-feldspars, plagioclase, biotite and Al-rich minerals (such as muscovite and garnet). Chemical composition of K-feldspars, pla...

volcanic rocks of interest are situated in the middle part of the urumieh-dokhtar magmatic arc (udma). they are parts of a vast magmatic province located in the north of bitlis-zagros suture zone. having a prevailing porphyritic texture, these rocks include phenocrysts of plagioclase, amphibole and biotite in a matrix composed of feldspar, quartz, opaque, glass and microlite and mineralogically...

Abstract. Phyllosilicates are generally regarded to have a reinforcing effect on chemical compaction by dissolution–precipitation creep (DPC) and thereby influence the evolution of hydraulic rock properties relevant groundwater resources geological repositories as well fossil fuel reservoirs. We conducted oedometric experiments layered NaCl–biotite samples test this assumption. In particular, w...

Lithium (Li) can be found in many minerals, including lepidolite. Lepidolite is pegmatite-related tin deposits the Phang Nga area southern Thailand. According to their field occurrence, petrography, mineral chemistry, and whole-rock geochemistry, Li-bearing pegmatites granitic rocks study linked Thailand as part of SE Asian belt. The are characterized by an abundance lepidolite, K-feldspar, pla...

Introduction: Shock-metamorphic effects including shatter cones, planar deformation features (PDFs) in quartz grains, and both E-and S-type pseu-dotachylites were discovered in deeply eroded Ar-chean granites near the Yarrabubba homestead in Western Australia (119°50'E, 27°10'S). Preliminary estimates indicate that the Yarrabubba impact structure is of a Paleoproterozoic age and at least 30 km ...

Rb–Sr and U–Pb isotopic data for granulite facies rocks, forming textural relics with respect to eclogite facies metamorphism in the Western Gneiss Region (WGR) of Norway, highlight the importance of textures and mineral reaction kinetics for the interpretation of geochronological data. Studied rocks from Bårdsholmen, southern WGR, were subjected to granulite facies metamorphism at 955 ± 3 Ma (...

-The rates of release of AI by M NH~NO3 (pH 3) from minerals saturated with AI ions at pH 3 suggest that AI ions migrated from the surface layers and the matrix cores of kaolinite, montmorillonite, illite, and biotite, but only from the matrix core of muscovite mica. From the 0.25-0.5 p.m kaolinite and montmorillonite, part of the 'surface' A1 is released 'instantaneously' and the rest by first...

Fibrous dusts (chrysotile, glass fibers, nemalite, palygorscite, and gypsum) and granular dusts (actinolite, biotite, hematite, pectolite, sanidine, and talcum) were injected intraperitoneally into rats. The fibrous dusts (other than gypsum) resulted in a high incidence of mesothelioma (30 - 67%). Gypsum produced only 5% and granular dusts none at all. It is suggested that the fibrous shape lea...
