Geochemistry and origin of elements of Upper Triassic Olang coal deposits in northeastern Iran
The Olang area is a part of Gheshlagh-Olang synclinal, which is a member of eastern Alborz coal basin and is situated at a distance of70 km northeast of Shahroud city. Coal-bearing strata of this region are part of the Shemshak group (Upper Triassic to Lower Jurassic).Samples from the 9 coal seams of the Olang coal deposits were collected and ashed. The aim of this study is to determine theoccu...

country to the economic activity existing in developed countries. Incidentally, my planning office has just finished a feasibility study for an area in the Amazon Basin where 500 families may be settled in 14,400 hectares (1 hectare = 10,000 square meters), with a loan of $16,000 (United States dollars) per family extending over a 10-year period. After 10 years each family will have paid the lo...
متن کاملThe Origin of Gypsum in the Mars North Polar Region
Introduction: The OMEGA instrument on Mars Express has recently detected the largest gypsum deposit on Mars within the north polar sand sea [1]. Here we discuss the unique geologic context and origin of this evaporite deposit. Gypsum on Earth and Mars: Gypsum is a hydrated Ca-sulfate (2H 2 O • CaSO 4). Though gypsum can be formed, for example, as a hydrothermal deposit [e.g., 2] or as an altera...
متن کاملDecameter thick remnant glacial ice deposits on Mars
OnMars, a smooth, draping unit—the “latitude-dependant mantle” (LDM), believed to comprise meter thick layers of dust and ice—extends from the midlatitudes to the poles, covering at least 23% of the surface. We show that the LDM can be 30m deep on pole-facing crater walls, and by measuring the erosional and depositional volumes of small gullies that incise these LDM deposits, we show that it mu...
متن کاملRaman spectroscopic analysis of cyanobacterial gypsum halotrophs and relevance for sulfate deposits on Mars.
The Raman spectra of cyanobacterial species, Gloecapsa and Nostoc, in clear gypsum crystals from the Haughton Crater, Devon Island, Canadian High Arctic, site of a meteorite impact during the Miocene some 23 Mya, have been recorded using several visible and near-infrared excitation wavelengths. The best spectra were obtained using a green wavelength at 514.5 nm and a confocal microscope with an...
