Introduction: LEW2 consists of abundant, coarse subhedral to euhedral olivine crystals (-FOG()90, typical grainsize -0.5mm) set in a fine-grained intergranular groundmass composed primarily of plagioclase, olivine, and Ca-A1 pyroxene [eg. 1,2]. The groundmass clearly represents a crystallized melt [3,4]. McKay et al. [6] proposed that this interstitial groundmass melt was produced by fractional...

Powder neutron diffraction reveals that anomalies in electrical-transport properties of Cu 2 ZnGeSe 4 are associated with disordering copper and zinc cations, which is accompanied by a partial melting the copper-ion sub-lattice.

The Oligocene-Miocene granitic rocks of Deh Siahan, part of central Iranian volcanic belt, are intruded into Eocene volcano-sedimentary complex where their contact is marked by albite-epidote hornblende hornfels facies and granitic apophyses. The granitic rocks show enhanced LIL element abundances and low HFS/LIL ratios. Geochemical data, various trace element discriminant diagrams, enhanced Y/...
