Jadeite-bearing rocks in Kamuikotan metamorphic terrain of the Mituisi district, Hokkaido

Groundwater in Sedimentary, Metamorphic and Volcanic Rocks

Jadeite Deposits of the Clear Creek Area , New Idria District

Tectonic inclusions within the New Idria serpentine body contain jadeite in two distinct assemblages: (1) Lenslike inclusions containing a monomineralic green jadeite core surrounded by a calc-silicate rim. (2) Jadeite veins cross-cutting albite-crossite schist inclusions. In these veins jadeite coexists with low albite; green jadeite (Jd 75 Ac+Di+He 25) coexists with low albite within the host...

Cryptosporidium infection of cattle in the Tokachi district, Hokkaido.

The prevalence of Cryptosporidium infection was examined in 480 healthy cattle (0-39 months old) in the Tokachi district in Hokkaido during the period from June to September in 2000 and from June to July in 2001. C. parvum oocysts were detected in 6 of 50 cattle (0-2 months old) in 2001; while C. muris was detected in 2 of 56 cattle (6-8 months old) in 2001, in 1 of 15 cattle (9-11 months old) ...

Two types of tourmaline with igneous and metamorphic origin in metamorphic rocks of north Golpayegan, Isfahan province

The Muteh-Golpayegan metamorphic complex consist of different metamorphic rocks including pelitic, semi-pelitic, carbonate, quartz-feldspathic and basic metamorphosed rocks. The metapelitic rocks include chlorite schist, biotite schist, garnet schist, staurolite schist, kyanite schist, sillimanite schist and andalusite schist. The semi-pelitic rocks contain higher amounts of quartz and lower am...

Slow oxygen diffusion rates in igneous zircons from metamorphic rocks

Empirical tests of oxygen exchange rate in zircon crystals from amphiboliteand granulite-facies metamorphic rocks of the Grenville Province demonstrate preservation of igneous dO through protracted igneous and metamorphic histories, forming the basis of quantitative estimates of diffusion rate. Granitic orthogneisses, which cooled slowly after granulite-facies metamorphism, show no consistent r...
