Abstract Corundum with inclusions of enigmatic super-reduced minerals was found in mineral separates received as a result alluvial sediment exploration near Mt Carmel, Israel by the Shefa Yamim Company. This corundum, registered ‘Carmel sapphire TM ’, has been an object numerous publications W. Griffin's scientific team, which they propose questionable hypothesis formation at crust–mantle bound...

Northwest Africa (NWA) 11962 is a lunar regolith breccia composed of wide range different clasts. The origin this meteorite confirmed by oxygen isotope analysis and the Fe/Mn ratio in pyroxene olivine. In present study, clasts matrix NWA are characterized optical electron microscopy along with microprobe analyses micro-Raman spectroscopy. has glassy impact melt matrix, which accounts for 35% su...

In this paper we present a model for the growth of a maar-diatreme complex in a shallow marine environment. The Miocene-age Costa Giardini diatreme near Sortino, in the region of the Iblei Mountains of southern Sicily, has an outer tuff ring formed by the accumulation of debris flows and surge deposits during hydromagmatic eruptions. Vesicular lava clasts, accretionary lapilli and bombs in the ...

Introduction: The early Late Devonian, wet-target Alamo Event at southern Nevada resulted in one of the best-exposed and well-dated impact deposits ever documented, the Alamo Breccia [1]. Because post-impact geologic processes have modified, obscured [2, 3] and perhaps wiped away its original morphological and architectural relationships, the crater stratigraphy has remained uncertain. Thus, th...

Landslides are caused by changes in the structure of subsurface materials on steep slopes due to weathered rock conditions and soil pores saturated conditions. This study used geoelectric resistivity method identify type landslide-susceptible areas Pacet-Trawas road corridor, Pacet District, Mojokerto Regency. The research location was an area with undulating mountainous morphology. geoelectric...
