Setting In-House XRF Reference Material for Minerals; A Case Study: Biotite Minerals of Malayer Granitoid Rocks (Western Iran)

Elasticity of Selected Rocks and Minerals

been the subject of numerous investigations (Birch, 1960, 1961). In this study, measurement of bulk density and of compressional and rotational wave velocities of a variety of rocks and minerals affords the opportunity of calculating elastic constants and of studying anisotropy in elastic velocities. Although it was not possible to take into account the effect of confining pressure on velocitie...

Chemical characteristics of biotite from Boroujerd Granitoid complex (Middle Jurassic), Western Iran

Biotite samples from different units of Boroujerd Granitoid Complex (BGC) of the Sanandaj-Sirjan Zone, western Iran, have beenanalyzed by electron microprobe for major elements. Biotite analyses from three units of quartzdiorite, granodiorite and monzograniteof BGC have their own distinct non-overlapping compositional fields in the annite – siderophyllite – phlogopite – eastonitequadrilateral (...
