Precambrian Quartzo - Feldspathic Gneiss from the Herman 1 A Well , Erie County , Ohio
نویسنده
چکیده
Precambrian quartzo-feldspathic gneiss was encountered at an elevation of —3616 feet in the Herman 1A well drilled in southeastern Erie County, Ohio, by the Amerada Petroleum Corporation. The five samples of this gneiss that were studied exhibit varying degrees of gneissose foliation. In order of decreasing abundance, microcline, plagioclase, quartz, and biotite together account for an average of 75% of the mineralogy. Greenish saussuritized plagioclase in layers and veins is abundant in three of the samples. Based on the presence of minor amounts of garnet, a plagioclase composition of An36, and the location of the well, the gneiss is considered to lie within the Grenville orogenic belt of high-grade, regionally metamorphosed rock.

متن کاملObservations on the geology of an area near lakes Thomson and Hankinson, Fiordland
85 The physiography of the area is dominated by glaciated landforms carved in gneiss of the Fiordland Complex. The gneiss is generally dioritic, with gradations to quartzo-feldspathic and amphibolitic varieties, and is cut by mainly barren pegmatite veins; epidote is abundant. The rocks commonly show signs of post-consolidational shearing and crushing. There is a well defined zone of strongly c...

An abandoned stream valley, here called Florence Valley, was found in eastern Erie County, Ohio. Florence Valley is about one mile long and connects the valleys of Chappel Creek and the Vermilion River. There is evidence that Florence Valley was formed as a result of the capture of a tributary of the Vermilion River by Chappel Creek. Chappel Creek, at the junction of Florence Valley and the val...

The Bundelkhand-Aravalli craton is the most important lithotectonic unit in the central and western India where Paleoproterozoic Aravalli Supracrustal sequence has been deposited over an Archaean basement, the latter also known as the Banded Gneiss Complex (BGC). A NE-trending linear metasedimentary sequence, designated as the Jahazpur Belt occurs along the eastern fringe of the Aravalli Superg...
