Abst rac t -Large parts of the Central Eastern Desert of Egypt consist of Neoproterozoic nappes of ophiolite and island-arc volcanic rocks. Beneath these nappes metamorphic basement domes are exposed in tectonic w indows such as the Meatiq basement. The mineral and whole rock chemistry of amphibol i tes included in the teconical ly lowermost granitoid gneiss, within the metasedimentary cover of...

We examined the Csalóka Spring, which has the highest radon concentration in the Sopron Mountains (West Hungary) (, yearly average of 227 ± 10 Bq L(-1)). The main rock types here are gneiss and micaschist, formed from metamorphism of former granitic and clastic sedimentary rocks respectively. The aim of the study was to find a likely source of the high radon concentration in water. During two p...

• Mangodara forms a dome cored by tonalitic gneiss, mantled granodioritic gneiss. Gneiss-granitoids derive from partial melting of Birimian greenstones. Residual melt syntectonic gneiss genesis formed rare-metal pegmatites. We describe the geological context rare metal-bearing pegmatites district (South-West Burkina Faso, Paleoproterozoic West African Craton) and discuss their petrogenesis link...

This study aimed at the geological and geospatial mapping of flood vulnerable areas in Ganaja, Lokoja metropolis for proper mitigation. The area involved taking several traverses understudying different rock types area. Rocks identified are porphyritic granite, migmatite, augen gneiss, aplitic medium-grained pegmatitic intrusions quartzo-feldspathic veins, banded gneiss biotite gneiss. Fracture...
