Understanding the performance and role of each formation in a petroleum play is crucial for the efficient and precise exploration and exploitation of trapped hydrocarbons in a sedimentary basin. The Lorestan basin is one of the most important hydrocarbon basins of Iran, and it includes various oil-prone potential source rocks and reservoir rocks. Previous geochemical studies of the basin were n...

The southwestern margin of the South China Craton preserves a Late Permian to Early Triassic sedimentary succession, provenance which helps constrain magmatic history and tectonic evolution Paleo-Tethyan Orogen. In this study, we present new detrital zircon U-Pb age, trace element, Hf isotope whole-rock geochemical composition analyses from Lower Qingtianbao Formation, distinguish clastic rocks...

The use of different kinds of feedback in preventing mode errors was investigated. Two experiments examined the frequency of mode errors in a text editing task where a mode error was defined as an attempt to issue navigation commands while in insert mode, or an attempt to insert text while in command mode. In Experiment 1 the effectiveness of kinesthetic versus visual feedback was compared in f...

The island of Syros consists largely of possibly-repeated sequences of glaucophane-bearing calcareous schists, mafic schists, dolomite marbles, and calcite marbles containing abundant aragonite pseudomorphs (Dixon, 1969; Hecht, 1984). Several discrete, fault-bounded packages of blueschist/eclogite-facies mafic rocks with minor serpentinite are also found on the island. Although the mafic rocks ...

The central region of the mainland Lewisian gneiss complex of NW Scotland is a granulite-facies migmatite terrane.With the exception of ultramafic and rare calc-silicate rocks, all other lithologies partially melted during Neoarchaean, ultrahigh-temperature (Badcallian) metamorphism. The clearest evidence is preserved within large layered mafic^ultramafic bodies that exhibit macroscopic feature...

Lacustrine mudrocks are composed of minerals and organic matter (OM). The origin preservation OM two controlling factors the hydrocarbon generation capacity mudrocks. It is a key method in source rock research to study deposition process from view sedimentary environment. Following this idea, reason for discrepancy production between northern southern part Dongpu Sag analyzed discussed. lacustr...
