We examine a large random sample of orbits in self-consistent simulations of N-body bars. Orbits in the bars are classified both visually and with a new automated orbit classification method based on frequency analysis. The well known prograde x1 orbit family originates from the same parent orbit as the box orbits in stationary and rotating triaxial ellipsoids. However only a small fraction of ...

Single detrital monazite grains from the Dharamsala and Lower Siwalik Formations (early to mid-Miocene continental foreland basin sediments in NW India) have been dated by two techniques; isotope dilution thermal ionization multicollector mass spectrometry (ID-TIMS) and laser ablation plasma ionization multicollector mass spectrometry (LA-PIMMS). The results give U–Th–Pb isotopic ages of c. 400...

Serpentinized oceanic lithosphere may be an important source for boron and other fluid-mobile elements that are anomalously enriched in arc volcanic rocks. However, the integrated water/rock ratios associated with different styles of serpentinization may be variable. For example, large water/rock ratios are involved in the serpentinization of abyssal peridotites exhumed to the seafloor, whereas...

Asteroids, planets, stars in some open clusters, and molecular clouds appear to possess a preferential spin-orbit alignment, pointing shared processes that tie their rotation at birth larger parent structures. We present new mechanism describes how collections of particles, or “clouds”, gain prograde rotational component when they collapse contract while subject an external, central force. The ...

Based on lithological, structural and geophysical characteristics, the Proterozoic Grenville Orogen of southern Ontario and New York has been divided into domains that are separated from each other by ductile shear zones. In order to constrain the timing of metamorphism, U-Pb ages were determined on metamorphic and igneous sphenes from marbles, calc-silicate gneisses, amphibolites, granitoids, ...

Please cite this article in press as: Schaefer, L., Fe implications for the composition of asteroids. Ic We used chemical equilibrium calculations to model thermal metamorphism of ordinary chondritic material as a function of temperature, pressure, and trace element abundance and use our results to discuss volatile mobilization during thermal metamorphism of ordinary chondrite parent bodies. We...

Professor Myburgh's commentary makes several interesting observations about our paper. However, we would like to discuss his comment that by extrapola-tion of our results it can be assumed that 68% of our pati...

dehsalm metamorphic complex located in east of iran consists of regionally metamorphosed rocks intruded by three phases of granitic masses. synkinematic porphyroblasts of garnet from staurolite-garnet schist present well preserved growth zoning. electron microprobe analysis of selected garnets was carried out to interpret the origin and pattern of zoning in amphibolite facies garnets and its im...

Archaean komatiites of the greenstone belt in Manica area, western Mozambique contains accessory amount of disseminated chromite grains. The komatiite rocks comprise peridotitic and basaltic komtiite. These komatiites are affected by regional metamorphism as all of the studied area. It is observed that only chromian spinel is preserved as the primary mineral and that all the other primary miner...
