What have the Earths' Mantle & an Egyptian Mummy in Common?
This paper will start with an overview of the Manchester Visualization Centre (MVC), what we do, why we do it and who we do it to. The main elements of the paper will be to present four examples of our work: Visualization of Egyptian Mummy 1766, one of the Egyptian mummies belonging to the University Museum. We will explain what we did with the CT scan of this mummy, the special techniques that...

متن کاملA ‘hidden’ 18O-enriched reservoir in the sub-arc mantle
Plate subduction continuously transports crustal materials with high-δ(18)O values down to the mantle wedge, where mantle peridotites are expected to achieve the high-δ(18)O features. Elevated δ(18)O values relative to the upper mantle value have been reported for magmas from some subduction zones. However, peridotites with δ(18)O values significantly higher than the well-defined upper mantle v...
متن کاملGrain boundaries: a possible water reservoir in the Earth’s mantle?
The Earth is a wet planet, where water is recycled from the mantle to the surface and back again. The mantle is generally too hot for the stability of hydrous minerals and too cold to store water within significant melt sheets. Therefore, the current paradigm in geosciences is that water resides and moves only through point defects in nominally anhydrous minerals such as olivine, pyroxene and g...
متن کاملGeochemistry of Cenozoic microtektites and clinopyroxene-bearing spherules
We have determined the major and trace element compositions of 176 individual microtektites/ spherules from the Australasian, Ivory Coast, and North American microtektite and clinopyroxene-bearing (cpx) spherule layers. Trace element contents for up to 30 trace elements were determined by instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA), and major element compositions were determined using energ...
