New geochemical data for Pleistocene magmatic rocks from the Surigao peninsula, eastern Mindanao, the Philippines, demonstrate typical adakitic traits, including elevation of Sr /Y and depletion of the heavy rare earth elements. Sr / Sr and Nd / Nd ratios of the adakites do not support melting of the subducted Philippine Sea Plate but resemble Pliocene arc lavas generated in the same subduction...

a r t i c l e i n f o a b s t r a c t It is well known that some ferromagnetic properties like Curie temperature are size dependent. In this Letter we will report that the spin-reorientation temperature of Nd 2 Fe 14 B material is also size dependent. By using a surfactant-assisted ball milling technique, Nd 2 Fe 14 B nanoparticles with different size about 6, 20 and 300 nm were successfully ob...

Kimberlites intrude the late Archaean eastern Dharwar Craton in two spatially separate fields ( 150 km apart, near Mahbubnagar in the north and Anantapur in the south) to the west of the Proterozoic Cuddapah Basin in southern India. Two lamproite bodies intrude the thick Cuddapah Basin sediments near Chelima and Zangamarajupalle, and a third occurs just outside the present NE margin of the basi...

The Cenozoic Hannuoba basaltic province, 200 km northwest of Beijing, China, is composed of intercalated tholeiitic, transitional and alkalic basalts. Although the alkalic basalts contain abundant upper mantle xenoliths, they range in MgO content from 5.7 to 10.6% MgO. Most of the major and trace element abundance variations in the alkalic basalts can be explained by segregation of a clinopyrox...

Young intra-transform lavas erupted as a result of extension within the Garrett Transform Fault on the southern East Pacific Rise, are more porphyritic, less evolved, have lower concentrations of incompatible trace elements, and lower ratios of more incompatible to less incompatible elements (e.g. low K=Ti and La=Sm) compared to lavas from the adjacent East Pacific Rise ridge axis. Sr, Nd and P...

the study area is located south of ghonabad in eastern iran. this area is situated between two major faults, darouneh to the north and dashtbyaz to the south. the movements of these faults cased major dislocation of this block. najmabad granodiorite to granite batholith is elongated trending east-west 2×8 km2. mineralization is associated with granite and monzonite. alteration zones are: propyl...

salafchegan-khorhe volcanic rocks are exposed within urumieh-dokhtar magmatic belt. different kinds of volcanic and subvolcanic rocks of calc-alkaline to alkaline character have been reported throughout this magmatic belt. since, isotopic investigations are very useful for detection of magma petrogenesis and because no isotopic studies have been done in this area, so a geochemical and isotopic ...

Fluorite is a widespread mineral in porphyry and hydrothermal vein Mo-polymetallic deposits. Here, fluorite utilised as probe to trace the fluid source reveal evolution process Chalukou giant Mo (Pb–Zn) deposit, Northeast China, which characterised early later vein-style Zn–Pb mineralisation. A detailed rare earth element (REE) Sr–Nd isotope study of combined with Sr isotopes sphalerite conduct...
