Reconnaissance geologic investigations by I.L. Tailleur in 1968 noted the presence of widespread iron-oxide staining in creek beds in the Wulik River and Ikalukrok Creek drainages of the western Brooks Range. A brief examination of one of these creeks revealed the presence of weathered sulfide-bearing bedrock and stream sediments containing more than 10 percent lead (Tailleur, 1970). Tailleur n...

the dehno granite massive is located in the east dehno village and southern khomein city and within themetamorphic sanandaj–sirjan zone. the composition of these rocks include: granodiorite, quartzdiorite(tonalite), monzogranite and leucogranite. quartz, alkali feldspar, plagioclase, biotite, andalusite, hornblendemuscovite, tourmaline, zircon and apatite are examples of the existing major and ...

Charnockitic rocks form extensive orthogneiss plutons in many granulite terranes and are less commonly found in unmetamorphosed plutons, which have formed in various tectonic regimes. Geochemically, clearly igneous charnockites cover nearly the whole range of granite chemistry, from magnesian to ferroan and from calcic to alkalic. Pyroxenes from unmetamorphosed charnockitic rocks have compositi...

melt fractions that percolated pervasively throughout the massif and On the basis of their structural and compositional characteristics, had a refractory, calc-alkaline character. Locally, these melts were mafic rocks in the Ronda peridotite are classified into four groups: tapped into cracks forming intrusive dykes. group A (garnet-bearing rocks) occurring in the spinel tectonite domain; group...

Iron-bearing phyllosilicates strongly influence the redox state and mobility of uranium because of their limited hydraulic conductivity, high specific surface area, and redox reactivity. Standard extraction procedures cannot be accurately applied for the determination of clay-Fe(II/III) and U(IV/VI) in clay mineral-U suspensions such that advanced spectroscopic techniques are required. Instead,...

Coal-bearing rocks are inevitably exposed to high temperatures and impacts (rapid dynamic load action) during deep-earth resource extraction, necessitating the study of their mechanical properties under such conditions. This paper reports on compression tests conducted coal-bearing mudstone specimens at real-time (the temperature rock remains constant throughout impact process) ranging from 25 ...
