the dehbid magnetite deposit is located in northeastern part of fars province, in the southern border of sanandaj-sirjan metamorphic zone. the mineralization occurred as veins and lenses along nw-se faults. the ores are mainly hosted in silicified dolomite of early mesozoic (triassic). mineralogical studies show that the ores are dominated by magnetite and minor hematite with massive texture oc...

kuh- e -zar gold deposit located 35 km west of torbat-e-heydaryeh, (khorassan e- razavi province), east of iran. this deposit is a specularite-rich iron oxide type (iocg). this mine is situated within khaf-bardascan volcanic plutonic belt. based on recent exploration along this belt, several iocg type system plus kuh-e-zar deposit are discovered. in the study area, several type of tuff and lava...

This paper documents the exploration significance of Ag/Au, Au/Cu, Cu/Mo and (Ag×Au)/Cu×Mo) ratios of the supra-ore and sub-ore halos versus fluid inclusion evolution for 24 Cu, 6 Cu- Mo and 10 Cu-Au porphyry deposits worldwide. The ratios are based only on the economic and mineralized hypogene alteration zones. The results indicate that (Ag×Au)/(Cu×Mo), Au/Cu and Cu/Mo ratios increase with dec...

Benzene was mineralized to CO2 by aquifer-derived microorganisms under strictly anaerobic conditions. The degradation occurred in microcosms containing gasoline-contaminated subsurface sediment from Seal Beach, California, and anaerobic, sulfide-reduced defined mineral medium supplemented with 20 mM sulfate. Benzene, at initial concentrations ranging from 40 to 200 microM, was depleted in all m...

Demineralized sections of fluorinated bones and teeth have been studied by autoradiography following in vitro uptake of Ca(45) or S(35)O(4). The portions of tissue which do not become mineralized (cartilage, prebone, predentine, and precementum) show an increased Ca(45) uptake apparently related to an increase in chondroitin sulfate content in fluorosis. The tissues from the fluoride-fed animal...

Cementoblastoma is a benign lesion of the odontogenic ectomesenchymal origin. It rarely occurs in primary dentition. This report describes a case of a cementoblastoma relating to the right mandibular second primary molar in a 7-year-old girl. Her panoramic radiograph revealed a well-defined radiopaque lesion with a radiolucent border extending from the distal surface of the mandibular right fir...

The pattern of mineralization was studied in the mandibular condyle of the young adult rat. Specimens were rendered anorganic in NaOC1 and examined in a scanning electron microscope. A mineralized cartilage front was found to persist on the articular aspect of the condyle. The surface is characterized by closely approximating chondrocyte lacunae enclosed to different degrees within the minerali...

introduction iron-apatite ore deposits well known as kiruna iron type formed in association with calc-alkaline volcanism from proterozoic to tertiary (hitzman et al., 1992). liquid immiscibility in an igneous system was proposed to explain the formation of the iron oxides accompanying apatite in mineralized zones (förster and jafarzadeh, 1994; daliran, 1999). the mode of ore formation however, ...
