Mineral inclusions in pyrope crystals from Garnet Ridge, Arizona, USA: implications for processes in the upper mantle
Mineral inclusions in pyrope crystals from Garnet Ridge in the Navajo Volcanic Field on the Colorado Plateau are investigated in this study with emphasis on the oxide minerals. Each pyrope crystal is roughly uniform in composition except for diusion halos surrounding some inclusions. The pyrope crystals have near constant Ca:Fe:Mg ratios, 0.3 to 5.7 wt% Cr2O3, and 20 to 220 ppm H2O. Thermobaro...
متن کاملDeep mantle forces and the uplift of the Colorado Plateau
[1] We introduce a quantitative model of global mantle convection that reconstructs the detailed motion of a warm mantle upwelling over the last 30 Ma towards the interior of the southwestern USA from observed present-day mantle heterogeneity. The onset and evolution of uplift in the central Basin and Range province and Colorado Plateau during this time is determined by tracking the topographic...
متن کاملMantle structure beneath the western edge of the Colorado Plateau
[1] Teleseismic traveltime data are inverted for mantle Vp and Vs variations beneath a 1400 km long line of broadband seismometers extending from eastern New Mexico to western Utah. The model spans 600 km beneath the moho with resolution of 50 km. Inversions show a sharp, largemagnitude velocity contrast across the Colorado PlateauGreat Basin transition extending 200 km below the crust. Also im...

متن کاملYttrium Aluminum Garnet Fibers from Metalloorganic Precursors
Mixtures of yttrium acetate hydrate (Y(O2CCH3)3?4H2O) and aluminum formate hydrate (Al(O2CH)3?3H2O in H2O) or yttrium isobutyrate (Y[O2CCH(CH3)2]3) and aluminum isobutyrate (Al[O2CCH(CH3)2]3) in tetrahydrofuran were used as precursors to process yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG, Al5Y3O12) fibers. The pyrolytic decomposition patterns of Al(O2CH)3?3H2O, Y(O2CCH3)3?4H2O, and a [3Y(O2CCH3)3?4H2O/5Al(O2...
