Tertiary plutonic rocks of southern Serbia Vardar Zone as dimension stone

Ranking sawability of dimension stone using PROMETHEE method

Predicting the sawability of the dimension stone is one of the most important factors involved in production planning. Moreover, this factor can be used as an important criterion in the cost estimation and planning of the stone plants. The main purpose for carrying out this work was to rank the sawability of the dimension stone using the PROMETHEE method. In this research work, four important p...

Geochemistry of diorites and associated plutonic rocks of SE Jersey, Channel Islands

The plutonic complex in SE Jersey consists of a late Precambrian gabbro-diorite mass which has been intruded by several granites. The status of the diorites which, like the gabbros, often possess a layered structure, is not clear. New geochemical data, including rare earth and trace element analyses, suggest that acid-basic magma mixing was not responsible for the variety of intermediate rocks....

The field and microstructural study of Malayer plutonic rocks,west of Iran

A detail field and microscopic characteristics of Malayer Plutonic Rocks (162-187Ma), west of Iran, are discussed in details to evaluate relationships between deformation and pluton emplacement. The studied rocks were injected into the slate, phyllite and schists of so called "Hamadan phyllites and slates" in the Sanandaj-Sirjan zone. Studies have shown that there is a continuity from magmatic ...

Stone Composition in Patients Who Undergo Renal Stone Surgery: Review of 423 Stone Analyses in Southern Iran

Oxygen 18/Oxygen 16 and D/H Studies of Plutonic Granitic and Metamorphic Rocks Across the Cordilleran Batholiths of Southern British Columbia

Hydrogen and oxygen isotope ratios of 500 samples, mainly from granitic plutons, were measured along a 700-km, E-W traverse across the "accreted terranes" of southern British Columbia (latitudes 49ø-52øN). Despite the geological complexity and range of intrusive ages (Late Triassic to Tertiary) and although there are "steps" in the isotopic values at some geologic boundaries (e.g., across the S...
