Abstract The Algyő High (AH) is an elevated crystalline block in southeastern Hungary covered by thick Neogene sediments. Although productive hydrocarbon reservoirs are found these sequences, numerous fractured also occur the pre-Neogene basement of Pannonian Basin. Based on analogies, rock body AH might play a key role fluid storage and migration; however, its structure therefore reservoir pot...

New eclogite localities and new Ar/Ar ages within the Western Gneiss Region of Norway define three discrete ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) domains that are separated by distinctly lower pressure, eclogite facies rocks. The sizes of the UHP domains range from c. 2500 to 100 km; if the UHP culminations are part of a continuous sheet at depth, the Western Gneiss Region UHP terrane has minimum dimensions...

The crystalline basement of New Zealand shows a chi-shaped combination of the straight Alpine Fault and a curved late Paleozoic continental margin, so that the plutonic basement of northern Fiordland converges toward the plane of the Alpine Fault. On the ground along Milford Sound the petrography suggests (1) a gradual change from amphibolite and granulite fades in the west to igneous fabrics d...

Present study attempts to understand the potential of multispectral ASTER (Advanced space borne thermal emission and reflection radiometer) data for spatial mapping of kimberlite. Kimberlite is an economic rock known for hosting diamond. Kimberlite also has petrogenetic importance for giving us clue on the composition of lower part of the mantle. Kimberlites often contain serpentine, carbonate ...

This study aims to account for the petrogenesis and mineralization of pegmatites around Wowyen area, northcentral basement complex,Nigeria. Field studies, petrography whole rock geochemistry (Major oxides were estimated by X-Ray Fluorescence while trace elements Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry) where methods adopted. The area are emplaced in remobilized belt Nigerian Basement compl...
