rocks of the Stuhuni and King Salmon Groups; a pre-.Middlm: Triassic unconformity is found througbmt the North American Cordillera (Read and Okulitch, 1977, Siberling, 1973:. In the Stikine Terrane, late Triassic volcanic rocks ar: dominantly fragmental andcommonly alkalic. Based on bul:: rock chemistry, both extensional, ba:k-arc, and Fore-ar: tectonic settings have been suggested tor these r...

The Mauna Loa (ML) and Mauna Kea (MK) lavas recovered by the Hawaii Scientific Drilling Project (HSDP) include aphyric to highly olivine-phyric basalts. The average olivine phenocryst abundance in the reference suite of ML flows is 14.5 vol % (vesicle-free and weighted by the flow thickness), while the average abundances of olivine in the reference suites of the MK alkalic and tholeiitic basalt...

Charnockitic rocks form extensive orthogneiss plutons in many granulite terranes and are less commonly found in unmetamorphosed plutons, which have formed in various tectonic regimes. Geochemically, clearly igneous charnockites cover nearly the whole range of granite chemistry, from magnesian to ferroan and from calcic to alkalic. Pyroxenes from unmetamorphosed charnockitic rocks have compositi...

Haleakala volcano on East Maui, Hawaii, consists of a tholeiitic basalt shield which grades into a younger alkalic series that was followed by a post-erosional alkalic series. Fresh, stratigraphically controlled samples from the three volcanic series were analyzed for major element abundances, Sr and Nd isotopic ratios and trace element (K, Rb, Sr, Ba, Th, Ta, Nb, REE, Hf, Zr, Sc, V, Cr, Co, Ni...

1. Department of Medical Imaging, AZ KLINA, Brasschaat, Belgium Background: A 66-year-old man, known with nephrocalcinosis in his medical history, was complaining of weight loss, pain at the level of the kidneys and at the right hip. Clinical examination revealed no additional abnormalities. The initial laboratory results showed high calcium (3,5 mmol/L), and normal phosphate (1,07 mmol/L) leve...
