The Shand Cu-Mo deposit is located in the Orkhon-Selenge depression, Northern Mongolia. It lies near Erdenetiin Ovoo porphyry deposit, which together define one of Mongolian’s most economically significant metallogenic belts. In (Au?) several ore related breccia types are associated with porphyritic granodiorite intrusions, and they contain pre-, synand post-mineralized stocks, magmatic-hydroth...

[1] Glacial sedimentary sequences in the north central United States record multiple advances of the Laurentide Ice Sheet (LIS) since 2 Ma. Although the tills found in these sequences were deposited by southward flowing glacial lobes, little information is available on the geometry of flow lines in the interior of the LIS during any one glaciation, and the provenance of glacial deposits older t...

Abstract The Wolfsberg lithium deposit in Austria is one of the largest Li-Cs-Ta pegmatite resources Europe. part Austroalpine Unit Pegmatite Province Eastern Alps that formed during high-temperature, low-pressure Permian extensional event and was subsequently overprinted by Cretaceous eclogite-facies metamorphism Alpine orogeny. two types distinguished at deposit, amphibolite hosted-(AHP) mica...

Alkali-feldspar occurs in the Crowsnest Volcanics as phenocrysts and as free euhedra in the pyroclastics and their re-worked derivatives. Composition varies from 6O/p to 95/6 Or-molecule and 2V f.rom 50'[-f (010)] to 35'[ll(010)l' Individual crystals show a range of 2Zvalues, but only rarely contain more than one K-rich phase. Optics indicate that most of the K-feldspar is intermediate between ...

The central pluton within the Neoproterozoic Katharina Ring Complex (area of Gebel Mussa, traditionally believed to be the biblical Mt. Sinai) shows a vertical compositional zoning: syenogranite makes up the bulk of the pluton and grades upwards to alkalifeldspar granites. The latters form two horizontal subzones, an albite–alkali feldspar (Ab–Afs) granite and an uppermost perthite granite. The...

Fibrous tremolite is a mineral species belonging to the amphibole group. It is present almost everywhere in the world as a natural contaminant of other minerals, like talc and vermiculite. It can be also found as a natural contaminant of the chrysotile form of asbestos. Tremolite asbestos exposures result in respiratory health consequences similar to the other forms of asbestos exposure, includ...

for the first time, an unusual assemblage of talc-phengite-chlorite-k-feldspar was found in quartz schists from the sanandaj-sirjan zone in the nahavand area in western iran. the talc-bearing quartz schists occur as small bodies or lenses within pelitic schist layers and contain talc, phengite, chlorite, k-feldspar and quartz as major mineral constituents with subordinate amounts of calcite ...
