Impact diamonds were found in several inipactites from the Ries crater. Geriiiaiiy including fallout and fallback (crater f i l l ) suevites. a glass bomb, impact melt i-ock and shocked gneiss. These diamonds formed two distinct grain size populations: 50-300 pii apographitic. platy aggregates with surface ornamentation and etching that \vere observed using optical and scanning electron microsc...

This study proposes a simple and novel synthesis route for rhombohedral single crystals (<2µm) of magnesite. This synthesis can be summarized by two main sequential reactions: (1) aqueous carbonation of synthetic brucite (Mg(OH) 2) by injection of CO 2 in a highly alkaline medium (2Molal of NaOH) at ambient temperature (∼20°C), leading to precipitation of platy-compacted aggregates of dypingite...

Copiapite-group minerals of the general formula AR4(SO4)6(OH)2d nH2O, where A is predominantly Mg, Fe , or 0.67Al, R is predominantly Fe, and n is typically 20, are among several secondary hydrous Fe sulfates occurring in the inactive mine workings of the massive sulfide deposit at Iron Mountain, CA, a USEPA Superfund site that produces extremely acidic drainage. Samples of copiapite-group mine...
