Depositional and tectonic setting of the Archean Moodies Group, Barberton Greenstone Belt, South Africa.
The 3.22-3.10 Ga old Moodies Group, uppermost unit of the Swaziland Supergroup in the Barberton Greenstone Belt (BGB), is the oldest exposed, well-preserved quartz-rich sedimentary sequence on earth. It is preserved in structurally separate blocks in a heavily deformed fold-and-thrust belt. North of the Inyoka Fault, Moodies strata reach up to 3700 m in thickness. Detailed mapping, correlation ...
متن کاملOrder analysis of serpentine belt transverse vibration
Transverse vibration of the serpentine belt is effective at noise and durability of it. Therefore, understanding of this phenomenon and studying effective parameters can be used in the process of reducing belt noise and increasing life time. In this paper, transverse vibration of serpentine belt is measured experimentally and analyzed. In the implementation test steps, the displacement of the b...
متن کاملComparison of ectomycorrhizas of Quercus garryana (Fagaceae) on serpentine and non-serpentine soils in southwestern Oregon.
The diversity of ectomycorrhizal communities associated with Quercus garryana on and off serpentine soils was compared and related to landscape-level diversity. Serpentine soils are high in magnesium, iron, and heavy metals and low in fertility. In plant communities on serpentine soils, a high proportion of flowering plant species are endemic. At three sites with paired serpentine and nonserpen...
متن کاملArchean spherule layers in the Barberton Greenstone Belt, South Africa: A discussion of problems related to the impact interpretation
This review of the current knowledge of impact spherule layers in the Barberton greenstone belt, together with new petrographic, geochemical, and field data on a number of impact and volcanic spherical particle horizons, highlight a number of problems with the proposition of frequent and large meteorite impacts during mid-Archean times. Field data indicate that some of the four previously propo...
متن کاملPhylogenetic comparisons of bacterial communities from serpentine and nonserpentine soils.
I present the results of a culture-independent survey of soil bacterial communities from serpentine soils and adjacent nonserpentine comparator soils using a variety of newly developed phylogenetically based statistical tools. The study design included site-based replication of the serpentine-to-nonserpentine community comparison over a regional scale ( approximately 100 km) in Northern Califor...
