Preferred orientation of quartz in a chert breccia.
Preferred orientation of minerals hitherto has been studied almost exclusively in metamorphic and igneous rocks, which show the most spectacular effects of deformation or magmatic flow. In sediments, preferred orientation of grains controlled by their shape has been discussed by Sander,' but to our knowledge no one has ever reported preferred orientation produced by deformation under diagenetic...
متن کاملPetrographic Characteristics of Quartz in Suevitic Impact Breccia, Drillcore
Introduction: Individual grains and small lithic clasts in thin-sectioned suevitic breccia samples from the International Continental Scientific Drilling Program (ICDP) Bosumtwi impact crater drillcore LB07A were examined petrographically to evaluate the occurrence , abundance, and characteristics of unshocked and shock-metamorphosed quartz. The analyzed samples were taken across a ~42-m-long (...
متن کاملRaman Imaging Spectroscopy of a Putative Microfossil from the ∼3.46 Ga Apex Chert: Insights from Quartz Grain Orientation
The utility of nondestructive laser Raman for testing the biogenicity of microfossil-like structures in ancient rocks is promising, yet results from deposits like the ∼3.46 Ga Apex chert remain contentious. The essence of the debate is that associated microstructures, which are not purported to be microfossils, also contain reduced carbon that displays Raman D- and G-band peaks similar to those...
متن کاملPreferred Orientation in Microstructures
The microstructures of eutectics between compounds were studied for systems MnO-MnS, NaCl-NaF, NaBr-NaF, LiF-NaF, and FeO-FeS. With the exception of FeS, all the compounds had the NaC1-type structure. In the systems having only NaC1-type structures, the lamellas of the two eutectic phases had matching crystal orientations. There was less consistency among the eutectic systems, however, than bet...
متن کاملCrystallographic preferred orientations analysis of quartz crystals in Psammite using electron backscatter diffraction,western Ireland
The present study investigates the crystal preferred orientation (CPO) of quartz crystals in psammitic rocks to ascertain the deformationmechanism using electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) on quartz crystals from north of the Renvyle-Bofin Slide (RBS) nearLetterfrack in western Ireland. Complete crystallographic orientations were determined for several thousand individual quartz crystalsin ...
