Comparison of effects on macrophage cultures of glass fibre, glass powder, and chrysotile asbestos.

Hydrothermal alteration of kimberlite by convective flows of external water

Kimberlite volcanism involves the emplacement of olivine-rich volcaniclastic deposits into volcanic vents or pipes. Kimberlite deposits are typically pervasively serpentinised as a result of the reaction of olivine and water within a temperature range of 130-400 °C or less. We present a model for the influx of ground water into hot kimberlite deposits coupled with progressive cooling and serpen...

Hydrothermal Alteration of the Martian Crust: an Experimental Approach

Introduction: On Mars, the geomorphology of numerous surface features has been attributed to the interaction of magmatic and impact heat sources with an H 2 O-rich Martian crust/megaregolith [1-3]. In addition , geochemical analyses of soil at the Pathfinder and Viking landing sites indicate high concentrations of SO 3 and Cl [4-6], consistent with interaction between a basaltic protolith and f...

Geology and Hydrothermal Alteration of the Mercur Gold Deposit, Utah

The term "Carlin-type" deposit has been applied to a number of low-grade, sedimentary rock-hosted gold deposits that have been discovered and brought into production in the western United States since the 1960s. Carlin-type deposits are characterized by replacement of carbonate and silty carbonate rocks by silica, pyrite, barite, various arsenic, mercury, antimony, and thallium minerals and by ...
