A field-mapping and crystal-chemical study of two aluniteand halloysite-rich deposits in the Turplu area, situated northwest of Balıkesir on the Biga Peninsula of northwest Turkey reveals a mineralogically diverse and a potentially economic clay deposit. The mineral assemblage along fault zones is dominated by halloysite and sometimes alunite. The alunite is nearly end-member in composition (a ...

isotopic and microthermometry results from sheikh-darabad cu-au indices in mianeh region, east-azarbaijan province, indicate cenozoic post-magmatic activities with developed adularia facies through an extended and neogene related alteration that is given rise to occurring silica vein systems as the main hosting locations for epithermal mineralization. the research evidence also has been coincid...

Abstract The paragenesis and composition of bavenite–bohseite were investigated in fifteen granitic pegmatites from the Bohemian Massif, Czech Republic. Three types distinct their relation to primary Be precursors, mineral assemblages, morphology origin recognised: (1) hydrothermal crystallised miarolitic pockets residual pegmatite fluids; secondary two types: (2) a proximal type restricted spa...

The metal-rich Vazante-Paracatu Mineral Belt, in central Brazil, hosts the Zn-Pb sulfide Morro Agudo District Mesoproterozoic (1.3–1.1 Ga) upper carbonate sequence of Vazante Group. district is comprised deposit and Bento Carmelo, Sucuri, do Capão occurrences. This also Fagundes, Ambrósia Bonsucesso deposits (northern part) zinc silicate North Extension (southern part). structurally controlled,...

Geological processes involving deformation and/or reactions are highly influenced by the rock grain size, especially if diffusion-controlled take place such as metamorphic and diffusion creep. Although many processes, inducing grain-size reduction, documented understood at relatively high stresses low temperatures (e.g., cataclasis) well lower stress higher temperature conditions bulging subgra...

Abstract Dongping is the largest Au-Te vein deposit (~120 t Au) in North China craton, but its age, origin, and setting remain unsolved. Here, we integrate paragenesis, geochemistry, situ U-Pb geochronology of garnet to constrain timing possible origin deposit. Gold mineralization at hosted Shuiquangou alkaline complex (ca. 401–390 Ma) dominated by quartz-sulfide veins with minor ores adjacent ...

the serpentinization of the harzburgitic mantle section of the bou azzer neoproterozoic ophiolite is studied by field mapping, structural observations, optical micrography, sem and x-ray diffractometry, and relationships with co, ni, cr and sulphides minerals are discussed. serpentinization occurred in two major steps with, i) intra-oceanic pseudomorphic serpentinization materialized by the iso...
