A new dataset for the high-pressure to ultrahigh-pressure Western Gneiss Region allows the definition of distinct structural and petrological domains.Much of the study area is an E-dippinghomoclinewith E-plunging lineations that exposes progressively deeper, more strongly deformed, more eclogite-rich structural levels westward. Although eclogites crop out across the WGR, Scandian deformation is...

In Cameroon, most of the iron formation occurrences reported are found within Nyong and Ntem Complexes. The Anyouzok deposit is located in Complex greenstone belts, which represent NW margin this Congo craton. main lithological units comprise formations (IFs) unit, consisting banded IFs (BIFs) sheared BIFs (SBIFs), associated metavolcanic rocks unit mafic granulite, garnet amphibolite, biotite ...

In situ LA-MC-ICP-MS U-Pb zircon geochronology combined with cathodoluminescence imaging were carried out to determine protolith and metamorphic ages of orthogneisses from the Western Tatra Mountains (Central Western Carpathians). The metamorphic complex is subdivided into two units (the Lower Unit and the Upper Unit). Orthogneisses of the Lower Unit are mostly banded, fine- to medium-grained r...

SUMMA R Y. In the Dahomeyan of the western Accra Plains marie gneisses, amphibolites, and orthoamphibolite dykes in granitic gneiss occur. During the latest recrystallization, metamorphic conditions ranged (north to south) from oligoclase--epidote amphibolite subfacies through andesineepidote amphibolite subfacies to at least the medium or upper part of the amphibolite facies. Chemical analyses...

This study was performed to determine the optimum level of soybean meal diets for two banded sea bream for growth performance, nutrient utilization, body composition and serum biochemistry. Two banded seabream were fed five experimental diets which were formulated replace fish meal by soybean meal at 0, 20, 30, 40 and 50%. Up to 40% of dietary fish meal was successfully replaced with no growth...

Geochemical data from the 625 Ma Massabesic Gneiss Complex of southern New Hampshire show strong affinities for other Avalonian rocks of southern New England and suggest continental rifting in the Late Proterozoic. Migmatized paragneiss, the dominant rock type in the complex, has major and trace element compositions that are compatible with graywackes from continental arcs. The paragneiss also ...

The Neoproterozoic rocks of the Nakora Ring Complex (NRC) consist three phases (Extrusive, Intrusive and Dyke) that are based on detailed geological mapping (contact relationship, mode occurrence, position xenolith, flows, dykes veins) their stratigraphic position. NRC consists mainly acid volcanic besides minor amount basic with intermediate calc-alkaline to tholeiitic affinities occurs in for...

Two-component hydrograph separation using oxygen-18 concentrations was conducted at a sediment runoff observation weir installed in a small subcatchment of a forested gneiss catchment in Japan. The mean soil thickness of this catchment is 7.27 m, which comprises 3.29 m of brown forest soil (A and B layers) and a 3.98-m layer of heavily weathered gneiss. Data were collected for a storm on 20–21 ...

Web services offer a more reliable and efficient way to access online data than scraping web pages. However, interacting with web services to retrieve data often requires people to write a lot of code. Moreover, many web services return data in complex hierarchical structures that make it difficult for people to perform any further data manipulation. We developed Gneiss, a tool that extends the...
