in the asemi-gawa area of intermediate high-pressure and low-temperature sanbagawa metamorphic belt in central shikoku, japan, piemontite-quartz schists are common in which cation exchange between piemontite and garnet has been studied. piemontite in contact with garnet usually contains two zones in which core is enriched in mn3+ and surrounded by a rim rich in fe3+. garnet is ca-fe-bearing spe...

jian cu deposit is hosted by surian volcano-sedimentary complex of permo-triassic age on the eastern edge of the sanandaj-sirjan metamorphic zone at a distance of 195 km from shiraz, southwestern iran. the complex consists mainly of metabasalt, chlorite-quartz schist, chlorite-muscovite schist, mica schist and graphite schist. pyrite is the most important sulfide and chalcopyrite is the major c...

Sector-zoned aegirine was found in a specimen of Sanbagawa quartz schist from the Iimori region of the western Kii Peninsula, central Japan. The schist consists of quartz, aegirine, albite, amphibole (magnesioriebeckite to manganocummingtonite), garnet (spessartine), rhodochrosite, pyrophanite, jacobsite, and apatite. Aegirine occurs as subhedral to euhedral prismatic crystals less than 250 μm ...

Introduction: Individual grains and small lithic clasts in thin-sectioned suevitic breccia samples from the International Continental Scientific Drilling Program (ICDP) Bosumtwi impact crater drillcore LB07A were examined petrographically to evaluate the occurrence , abundance, and characteristics of unshocked and shock-metamorphosed quartz. The analyzed samples were taken across a ~42-m-long (...

the study area is located at the sanandaj-sirjan zone in the west and north-west of azna and north-east of doroud, iran. the quartz-schists are divided into two main groups: amphibole-quartz schist and garnet-quartz schist. field and microstructural studies show several deformational phases. the d1 episode which is represented by s1, matches with m1 metamprphism and d2 deformation matches with ...

late neoproterozoic-early cambrian schists have been occurred in southwest of zanjan city from the soltanieh belt. the soltanieh belt in northwest of iran is uplifted basement of precambrian-paleozoic in main central iran zone and includes outcrops of precambrian, paleozoic and mesozoic formations. late neoproterozoic-early cambrian schists, the oldest stratigraphy unit in the region, consist o...
