Study of the concentration and isotopic composition of strontium and rubidium in hornblende diorite dikes and sills of Precambrian age from the Panamint Mountains of California showed that these rock systems were enriched in radiogenic Sr during a late Mesozoic metamorphism. Enrichments in radiogenic Sr were observed for total-rock samples which yielded apparent ages of up to 34,000 m.y., altho...

In the Variscan Western Tatra granites hybridization phenomena such as mixing and mingling can be observed at the contact of mafic precursors of dioritic composition and more felsic granitic host rocks. The textural evidence of hybridization include: plagioclase-K-feldspar-sphene ocelli, hornblende- and biotite-rimmed quartz ocelli, plagioclase with Ca-rich spike zonation, inversely zoned K-fel...

At El Chucho creek, located to the west of Valle del Cauca department in Colombia, some hydrothermal alterations affecting Buga Batholith rocks and dykes porphyritic quartz-dioritic tonalitic composition were identified. These lithological units host mineral occurrences pyrite, chalcopyrite, molybdenite that occur disseminated or associated with quartz veinlets. The identified phyllic, propylit...

The source of iron material and the mineralization process skarn deposits within eastern North China Craton are ambiguous. In this study, we present new mineral chemical data Jinling deposit, located in western Shandong Province, east China. Based on petrography study data, suggest that deposit is hydrothermal metallogenic enriched by leaching Fe-rich fluids derived from primitive magmatic melt...

Three distinct groups of eclogites (low-Mg–Ti eclogites, high-Ti eclogites and Mg-rich eclogites) and ultramafic rocks from the depth interval of 100–680 m of the Chinese Continental Scientific Drill Hole were studied. The lowMg#s (=100⁎molar Mg/(Mg+Fe)) (81–84%) and low Ni (1150–1220 ppm) and high Fe2O3 total (13–15 wt.%) contents of ultramafic rocks suggest a cumulate origin. Mgrich eclogites...
