The San Emigdio and related Pelona, Orocopia, Rand and Sierra de Salinas schists of southern California were underplated beneath the southern Sierra Nevada batholith and adjacent southern California batholith along a shallow segment of the subducting Farallon plate in Late Cretaceous to early Tertiary time. These subduction accretion assemblages represent a regional, deeply exhumed, shallowly d...

Archean supracrustal sequences of pelitic, quartzitic, calcareous and mafic compositions in the central Laramie Mountains, Wyoming, have been affected by two metamorphic events: a 1.78 Ga amphibolitegrade regional metamorphism, and a 1.43 Ga contact metamorphism resulting from the intrusion of the Laramie Anorthosite Complex (LAC). Rb–Sr whole-rock isotopic data from both outside and within the...

The Big Jim complex is a concentrically zoned ultramafic to felsic plutonic complex which intruded the pelitic Chiwaukum schist. Most of the major plutonic rock types (from websterite through hornblendite, gabbronorite, hornblende gabbro and diorite, to granodiorite) enclose harzburgite and metaperidotite xenoliths similar to foliated metaperidotite lenses included in the Chiwaukum schist. The ...

Wolfram mineralization in the area of Vau village (Dong Giang district, Quang Nam province) is distributed along small stream together with other sulfide mineralizations form to large boulders. Ore minerals are mainly sheelite, pyrhotite, arsenopyrite a little chalcopyrite and pyrite. The ore stockwork type gray, light gray metamorphic sedimentary rocks quartz - mica composition alternated feld...

The Taku Schist, which is located in the north-east Peninsular Malaysia, characterized by its North-South oriented elongated body. It forms part of Indonesian orogenic build-up that was generated via convergence Sibumasu continental unit and Sukhothai Arc. Subsequent petrography analyses metasedimentary rocks sourced from Schist revealed their formation attributable to metamorphism greenschist ...

This study concerns the lithologic characteristics of stone used as main construction materials ancient Korean tombs, and aims to understand how they were supplied. Specifically, we investigated tombs in Songpa district, south Hangang River Seoul, composing connected stone-mound Seokchon-dong tomb complex, Bangi-dong No. 3, 13 horizontal stone-chamber Gamil-dong complex. There are major differe...
