Soursat Metamorphic Complex (SMC) in west of Takab city is one of the polyphase metamorphic terrenes in northern Sanandaj-Sirjan metamorphic belt of Iran. The SMC composed mainly of metasedimentary rocks associated with granitic intrusions. Based on metamorphic rocks, two metamorphic phases could be separate in the complex. M1 is representative of regional metamorphisms which varies from greens...

The solubility of corundum was measured at 800 °C and 10 kbar in NaCl–H2O–SiO2 fluids over NaCl mole fractions (XNaCl) of 0 to 0.5 and SiO2 concentrations of zero to quartz or albite+melt saturation, depending on XNaCl. Experiments were performed in a piston-cylinder apparatus. Dissolved Al2O3 and SiO2 were determined by weight losses of corundum and quartz crystals, or by bulk compositions of ...

The processes leading to the assembly of Rodinia supercontinent through Grenvillian collisional orogeny are relatively well known. In contrast, accretionary orogenic occurring at periphery following poorly understood. To fill this gap, we have identified metamorphic rocks in Mongolia collage Central Asian Orogenic Belt, where numerous data testify for Meso- Neoproterozoic magmatic reworking. te...

Coexisting orthoalnphiboles (high Al-Na gedrites and low Al-Na anthophyllites) from the Post Pond Volcanics, Vermont, display a variety of textures that are interpreted to be equilibrium growth textures. These textures include: (l) discrete grains; (2) bladed intergrowths; (3) patchy intergrowths; (4) overgrofihs; and (5) lamellar intergrowths with lamellae parallel to (120). Coexisting orthoam...

The univariant reaction ALGO4L(OH)3 (trolleite) := 3 AIPO4 @erlinite) + + Al2O3 + 3/2 HrO has been investigated at pressures between Pu,o: 10.0 and 23.0 kbar u5ing a pistoncylinder apparatus, and below Pu,o:5.0 kbar using standard cold-seal bombs. From these experimental results the third-law entropy and the Gibbs free energy of formation of trolleite were calculated to be 64.7+6 eu and -145255...

The Marun–Keu complex (Polar Urals, Russia) is a poorly known member of a group of high P complexes outcropping along the length of the Uralide orogen. The central and southern parts of the complex are metamorphosed at high P, medium T conditions (Tmaxf600–650 jC and Pf14–17 kbar) and differ from its northern part and the rest of the Uralian high P complexes which are metamorphosed at blueschis...

Dellaventuraite is a new amphibole species from the Kajlidongri manganese mine, Jhabua District, Madhya Pradesh, India. It occurs with leakeite, kornite, albite, braunite, and bixbyite associated with cross-cutting epigenetic veins that have reacted with regionally metamorphosed rocks containing Mn-rich minerals (braunite, bixbyite, jacobsite, spessartine) to produce Mn-rich amphiboles, Mnrich ...
