Abstract In Pagondas and Kimi areas, central Evia Island, Greece, variably serpentinized ultramafic rocks of an ophiolitic origin are crosscut by rodingite dikes. Based on their protoliths, these rodingites distinguished into the following: (i) island arc tholeiitic dolerites, (ii) Mg-rich gabbros, (iii) alkaline basalts, (iv) calc-alkaline basalts. Rodingitization evolved in three successive p...

Abstract Amphibolite clasts in the suevite of Ries impact crater contain shock-induced melt veins (SMVs) with high-pressure phases such as majoritic garnet, jadeitic clinopyroxene and others. In addition, heat conduction from hot SMVs into adjacent rock portions locally produced further high P – T pools. These melts were preferentially generated domains, where cross older (‘pre-Ries’) veinlets ...

Abstract This study reports three K/Ar ages on celadonite, a dioctahedral K-Fe mica, in the Proterozoic North Shore Volcanic Group (NSVG) of Midcontinent Rift northeastern Minnesota. Celadonite formed during beginning posteruptive, low-temperature conditions at temperatures<100°C and with input meteoric water. between 1062±16 Ma 955.0±12 document remarkably long posteruptive thermal hist...

Abstract Deep geological disposal is the preferred solution for long-term storage of radioactive waste in many countries. In a deep repository, cementitious materials are widely used structure and buffer/backfill repository stabilisation hazardous materials. The cement acts as physical barrier also contributes chemically to containment by buffering groundwater high pH, limiting solubility radio...

Semi-pelitic rocks ranging in grade from the prehnite–pumpellyite to the greenschist facies from southeastern Otago, New Zealand, have been investigated in order to evaluate the reactions leading to formation and breakdown of stilpnomelane. Detrital grains of mica and chlorite along with fine-grained authigenic illite and chlorite occur in lower-grade rocks with compactional fabric parallel to ...

Abstract. Ferri-taramite (IMA CNMNC 2021-046), ideally ANaB(CaNa)C(Mg3Fe23+)(Si6Al2)O22W(OH)2, occurs in skarn from the Jakobsberg manganese mine, Värmland, Sweden. Associated minerals are celsian, phlogopite, aegirine-augite, andradite, hancockite, melanotekite, microcline (var. hyalophane), calcite, baryte, prehnite, macedonite and oxyplumboroméite. Conditions of formation, close to peak meta...

Deformation measurements from 64 sandstone samples collected in three study areas from the Eastern Belt of the Franciscan Complex are used to evaluate how the high­ pressure metamorphic interior of the Franciscan wedge was exhumed. Pressure estimates indicate 25-30 km of exhumation in this part of the Franciscan Complex. Much of the Eastern Belt has a semi-penetrative cleavage that formed by so...

There are two basic Fe-rich lithologies at Weld Range: (l) banded iron-formation containing minnesotaite, siderite, quarlz,magnetite, greenalite, stilpnomelane, pyrite, and chamosite with trace amounts of pyrrhotite, arsenopyrite, chalcopyrite, apatite, and rockbridgeite; Q) Fe-shale. which occurs as laminated 2-30cm-thick bands within banded iron-formation, containing chamosite, stilpnomelane,...
