Hornblende-rich gabbro-diorite sequence in the Oura Igneous Complex, Maizuru City, Japan, part II: Hydrothermal events and genesis of igneous albite.

comparison between the chemistry of igneous and hydrothermal biotite in the igneous rocks of sakhtehesar mountain

sakhtehesar mountain is located in urumieh-dokhtar magmatic belt and is composed of volcanic and subvolcanic rocks (pliocene andesite to dacite) which intruded the volcanics and pyroclastics of paleocene age. three alteration zones including potassic, phyllic and propylitic are recognized in the area. in this paper, the mineral chemistry of magmatic and primary biotite and the mineral chemistry...

TECTONOMAGMATIC CHARACTERISTICS OF THE ETIVE IGNEOUS COMPLEX, SOUTH WEST SCOTLAND

The Etive igneous complex has intruded into Dalradian and Moine meta-sedimentary rocks in Devonian. Main rock types of the complex are granodiorite, monzodiorite, monzogranite, granite and diorite. Geochemical studies show that the magmas were of high K calc-alkaline, I-type and metaluminous nature. Application of discriminant diagrams to the Etive rocks indicates a possible within-plate tecton...

Mineral chemistry of apatite in the Lar igneous complex, North of Zahedan

The Lar igneous complex (LIC) is located in the Sistan Suture Zone. The igneous rocks occur as stock, dike, lava and pyroclastic. As a result of hydrothermal fluids, Cu-Mo mineralization was formed in the stocks. Apatite is one of the most abundant accessory minerals in the igneous rocks that occurs as prismatic and brecciated. EPMA data indicate that apatites are fluorapatite in composition wi...

Studies of the Precambrian Geology of Iowa: Part 1. The Otter Creek Layered Igneous Complex

Magma Composition and Igneous Rocks

Introduction In the following chapters we will find that nearly all of the varied aspects of volcanism are either directly or indirectly controlled by the chemical composition of magma and the rate at which it cools and solidifies. If you are to understand and appreciate subsequent discussions of volcanoes and related volcanic phenomena, it is essential that you have a good grasp of the basic c...
