In this presentation questions are raised about a melt-restite unmixing model proposed by Barton and Sidle (1994) for the myrmekite-bearing Waldoboro granite complex along the southeastern coast of Maine (USA). This complex consists mostly of granite/granodiorite gneiss and granite, but smaller masses of quartz diorite, aplite, pegmatite, leucogranite, tourmaline granite, and granite porphyry o...

In this study, the lithological characteristics of Four Lion Three-story Stone Pagoda and Lantern in Hwaeomsa temple were analyzed, origin was interpreted. The stone properties composing pagoda lantern are dark gray medium to coarse grained granodiorite with small large mafic microgranular enclaves (MME), show a fairly heterogeneous lithology. constituting main cultural heritages precincts use ...

Principal Skarn deposits along the northern margin of the Ahar batholith from west to east include Mazraeh, Vine and Gowdoul skarn deposits. Among these skarn deposits, the Mazraeh Cu-Fe Skarn deposit is the most typical skarn deposit in the NW Iran. This skarn deposit is located 5 km. north of Mazraeh village and 20 km north of Ahar town. The origin and development of the skarn can be related ...

Petrology and geochemical characteristics of granitic rocks from South Sulawesi, especially from Polewaliand Masamba area are presented in order to elucidate their origin of magma and geodynamic setting. The granitic rocks in these areas are dominated by granodiorite and granite in composition. Quartz, K-feldspar and plagioclase occur as major phases with hornblende and biotite as major ferroma...

Magmatism during the maturation phase of Archean greenstone belts produced voluminous tonalite–trondhjemite–granodiorite (TTG) suites, as well a lesser amount tonalite–trondhjemite–diorite (TTD) suites. Such TTD suites have recently been recognized in Abitibi belt, on southern flank Superior Craton, Canada, but their source(s), differentiation processes, and depths emplacement remain poorly con...

Magmatic zircon tends to present characteristic trends in trace element compositions response magma petrogenesis and metallogenesis, such that may provide a window into melt evolution not accessible by whole rock chemistry. The Yangla large Cu deposit is located the central part of Jinshajiang Suture Zone, southwest China, constrained between Faults. In this study, elements hafnium isotopic zir...
