The Pilbara Craton in Northwest Australia is a 600×550 km region of early-mid Archaean granite/greenstone terrain, dominated by granite domes, and in part covered by younger rocks. Gravity and magnetic anomalies are used to map the granite/greenstone surface under cover, and infer the depth extent of the granite/greenstone structures. A published seismic refraction interpretation gives a two la...

Located at the eastern segment of Tethyan Himalayan tectonic unit, Cuonadong leucogranites (muscovite granite and pegmatite) have a mineral assemblage quartz, plagioclase, alkali feldspar, as well muscovite garnet. Garnets in both pegmatite belong to almandine–spessartine solid solution, with minor andradite, grossular, pyrope, show specific Mn zoning relatively rim-ward depletion trend. Howeve...

The decay features of thirty-nine monuments built with granite stones and presenting diverse architectural characteristics, date of construction and environment characteristics (including exposition conditions, traffic intensity, etc) are compare in order to discuss decay patterns and susceptibility of granite types applied in architectural works. Decay patterns of biotite-rich medium to fine-g...

The supergiant Shizhuyuan W–Sn–Bi–Mo deposit is hosted by the Qianlishan granite, a small, highly fractionated granitic pluton (∼ 10 km) with multiple phases of intrusions within the Early Yanshanian granitoid province of SE China. Strong alteration of skarn and greisen that formed in the contact zone between the first and second phases of granite intrusions and Devonian limestone is responsibl...

It has previously been shown that granite workers with heavy exposure to silica had glomerular and proximal tubular dysfunction evidenced by increased urinary excretions of albumin, alpha-1-microglobulin (AMG), and beta-N-acetyl-glucosaminidase (NAG). The investigation was replicated in another group of granite workers to further elucidate the exposure effect relation. The urinary excretion of ...

‘I fact, just about everything that was taught as recently as ten years ago about granitic magmatism has been turned on its head.’1 So concludes John Clemens in his overview paper about the origin of granite, published in the UK in the Proceedings of the Geologists’ Association. In his introduction to Clemens’s paper and the accompanying discussion, editorial board member W.J. French explains t...

The Jiajika rare metal deposit contains the largest area of granitic pegmatite-type deposits in China. X03 vein is an immense dominated by lithium, which was found recent years. contact metamorphic belt tourmalinization and petrochemistry widely developed its wall rocks, altered rocks formed contain Li other mineralization. In this paper, tourmaline different divided into four types: two-mica q...

The Orkhon-Selenge Belt is a Late Permian to Early Triassic volcanic plutonic belt located in northern Mongolia and part of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt. Selenge Complex, which Belt, key area for studying tectonic magmatic evolution This study aims contribute understanding geodynamic by investigating petrology, geochemistry geochronology rocks region. Our results indicate that intrusive were...

The pre-Neogene basement of the Slavonia-Srijem Depression (eastern Croatia) is composed various types igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks. Here we present petrography geochemistry a heterogenous group represented by two alkali granite, syenite, rhyolite orthogneiss. granite type 1 has an A-type geochemical affinity: ferroan character, high content, concentration rare earth elements (REE...

Immunoglobulin concentrations and lymphocyte counts were determined in bronchoalveolar fluid obtained from nine symptomless, healthy, non-smoking granite workers (mean age 45.6, range 22-56 years) and nine normal, non-smoking, non industrial controls (mean age 22.8, range 21-32 years). The proteins were measured in unconcentrated lavage fluid by means of a solid phase, enzyme linked immunosorbe...
