melt fractions that percolated pervasively throughout the massif and On the basis of their structural and compositional characteristics, had a refractory, calc-alkaline character. Locally, these melts were mafic rocks in the Ronda peridotite are classified into four groups: tapped into cracks forming intrusive dykes. group A (garnet-bearing rocks) occurring in the spinel tectonite domain; group...

Abstract El-Bakriya area is situated in the Central Eastern Desert of Egypt. It includes several mineral occurrences and/or deposits. Data from remote sensing and airborne geophysics (gamma-ray magnetic) were combined to identify hydrothermal alteration zones structures related these occurrences. Various processing ASTER satellite images revealed fifteen high probability for metallic mineraliza...

the shahabad gabbroic intrusion, with nw-se trend cropped out at the boundary of zagros and sanandaj-sirjan zones is composed of olivine gabbro, orthogabbro and troctolite. plagioclase, clinopyroxene and olivine are the main minerals; and magnetite, titanomagnetite and serpentine are minor and secondary minerals. microprobe analyses of the minerals show that plagioclase is labradorite, pyroxene...

Abstract The continental crust is strongly depleted in iron relative to mid-oceanic ridge basalt, broadly identical the calc-alkaline magmas, suggesting that differentiation key continent formation. However, it remains contentious as what drives Fe depletion during magmatic crust. two competing hypotheses for differentiation—magnetite versus garnet (± amphibole) fractionation—predict contrastin...

The Aurora volcanic field, located along the northeastern margin of Mono Lake in the Western Great Basin, has erupted a diverse suite of high-K and shoshonitic lava types, with 48 to 76 wt% SiO2, over the last 3.6 million years. There is no correlation between the age and composition of the lavas. Three-quarters of the volcanic field consists of evolved (,4 wt% MgO) basaltic andesite and andesi...

Transcripts derived from the 6 exon CALC I gene are differentially processed in a tissue-specific fashion to include or exclude a calcitonin-specific exon 4. All cell types which transcribe a second calcitonin/CGRP gene, CALC II, exclude exon 4. Substitution of the first 30 nucleotides of CALC I exon 4 with analogous CALC II sequence was sufficient to prevent recognition of exon 4 in in vitro o...
