Thirty oriented fresh block samples were collected from ten suitable sites of the outcropping andesite rock formation to study their Petrographical characteristics and Magnetic properties. The analysis of these rocks around Khairmalia shows that the magnetite crystals are fresh and are in perfect shape. These crystals are present in sufficient quantity i.e. measured as 10 to 20% in various rock...

The present study concerns the use of speleothems from “Doña Lucrecia” cave, Rionegro, Santander (Colombia), as a preliminary approach for paleoclimate record. Several are undoubtedly among remarkable features this cavity; instance, columns, stalactites, stalagmites and fallen blocks. Speleothems contain important evidence palaeoclimatic information, which can be interpreted through integral pe...

Distribution patterns, petrography, whole-rock and mineral chemistry, and shape and fabric data are described for the most representative basement lithologies occurring as clasts (granule to boulder grain-size class) from the 625 m deep CRP-2/2A drillcore. A major change in the distribution pattern of the clast types occurs at c. 310 mbsf, with granitoid-dominated clasts above and mainly doleri...

Kepsut-Dursunbey volcanic field (KDVF) is located in NW Turkey and contains various products of the post-collisional Neogene magmatic activity. Two distinct volcanic suites have been recognized; the Kepsut volcanic suite (KVS) and the Dursunbey volcanic suite (DVS). The KVS includes basaltic trachyandesitebasaltic andesite-andesite lavas and associated pyroclastic rocks. The DVS consists of dac...
