The most enigmatic problems with the nearly 200 salt domes pierced in the Persian Gulf and in the Zagros Mountain Ranges (ZMR) in southern Iran, a unique morphology in the world, have been the matter of this study, which is based on a combination of field work, enhancement of satellite and aerial photographs etc. In the ZMR, structural anomalies are frequently associated with similar facies dis...

Auger and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopies have been used to study the surface composition of MnxCo1−xO (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) solid solutions. The polycrystalline materials, which are bulk homogeneous, present clear signs of deviation in surface composition at xbulk ≈ 0.2–0.4 to become surface-enriched in manganese at the expense of the cobalt. Whether on stoichiometric or cobalt-depleted surfaces, cob...

Blocks containing urea were provided to groups of penned sheep fed ad libitum on roughage of either 2.3 % or 5.1 % crude protein content and the results were compared with unsupplemented groups. One block contained 7.1% urea with finely ground sorghum, distillers solubles, common salt and rock phosphate. The other block contained 30.070 urea with common salt, rock phosphate, molasses and pollar...

The definition of pre-Messinian source rocks in the eastern Mediterranean is paramount importance for hydrocarbon exploration because ability salt to act as a high-quality seal rock. This research evaluates organic geochemical features Upper Miocene (Tortonian—Messinian) sedimentary succession onshore Crete Island, Greece. study employs original (Messinian, Agios Myron Fm) and published (Torton...

This research focuses on the analysis of influence two secondary salt weathering processes durability rocks exposed to marine environments: chemical dissolution rock forming minerals and differential thermal expansion between halite hosting rock. These are scarcely treated in compared crystallisation. The methodology followed this paper includes both situ monitoring laboratory simulations. Four...
