[1] We performed triaxial compressive creep tests to study water weakening of clinopyroxenite in the diffusion creep regime. All tests were carried out on fine-grained samples at confining pressures between 100 and 300 MPa at temperatures of 1321 to 1421 K for water-saturated and 1398 to 1508 K for anhydrous conditions. Samples were prepared by hot-pressing ground powder of Sleaford Bay clinopy...

mafic and ultramafic plutonic igneous bodies, with small and big outcrops, between shemshak rock units (jurassic) are observed in east of imam zadeh hashem, in southern guilan province. ultramafic cumulates consist of clinopyroxenite, and plagiofer clinopyroxenite, olivine clinopyroxenite, and mafic rocks, based on mineralogy consist of gabbros, olivine gabbros, biotite gabbros and amphibole ga...

Abu Hamamid (AH) Neoproterozoic (Sm/Nd model age of 770 ± 20 Ma) mafic–ultramafic intrusion lies along a NE–SW fracture zone in the Shadli Metavolcanic Belt, south Eastern Desert, Egypt. AH intrusion is concentrically zoned with cumulate clinopyroxenebearing dunite core mantled by olivine clinopyroxenite, hornblende clinopyroxenite and hornblende gabbroic rim. The observed crystallization seque...

We studied the mineralization and sulfur isotopic composition of sulfides gold–palladium ores in olivine clinopyroxenites from Dzelyatyshor massif made up a continuous layered series rocks: olivine-free clinopyroxenite–olivine clinopyroxenite–wehrlite. The primary igneous layering rocks, manifested as different quantitative ratios clinopyroxene them, controls local trends variability chemistry ...

the kuhshah ultramafic complex is located in the south-east of sanandaj-sirjan metamorphic zone, near the probable remnants of neotethys plate in iran. it consists of highly depleted harzburgites, dunites, chromitite bands and altered gabbros. the ultramafic parts have been intruded by numerous clinopyroxenite dykes and veins. in the harzburgites, there are different generations of olivine, ort...

The Dabie Shan Ultrahigh-Pressure Metamorphic (UHPM) Belt occupies the suture between the Yangtze and Sino-Korean blocks in east-central China. The timing of UHPM in the Dabie belt is controversial, and most recent data come from dating of zircons. Monazite has recently been recognized as useful for dating of multiple tectonic events due to its preservation of multiple growth zones, and monazit...

Scandium is important in modern technology and regarded as a strategic metal many countries. It highly dispersed Earth’s crust rarely forms independent minerals. Clinopyroxene the most Sc-bearing mineral some world-class deposits hosted mafic–ultramafic intrusions, which are also major source of laterite-hosted Sc deposits. However, factors controlling distribution minerals have been little exp...
