Five main apatite deposits from the Moroccan Central High-Atlas —including Anemzi, Tirrhist-Inouzane, Tassent, Ait-Daoud-Toumliline and Tasraft— have been investigated through integrated field, petrographic, mineralogical, geochemical studies. The ore occurs as veins, few mm to several cm thick, spatially associated with syenite-quartz monzonite (dominant) monzodiorite-gabbrodiorite bodies empl...

The Vathi porphyry Cu-Au ± Mo mineralization is located in the Serbo-Macedonian metallogenic province of Western Tethyan Metallogenic Belt. It mainly hosted by a latite and genetically associated with quartz monzonite intrusion, which intruded basement rocks Vertiskos Unit latite, 18 to 17 Ma ago. A phreatic breccia crosscuts latite. was affected potassic alteration, whereas subjected local pro...

This study provides a global assessment of the abundance major oxides in deep continental crust. The combination geochemistry and seismology better constrains composition middle lower crust than either discipline can achieve alone. inaccessible nature (typically >15 km) forces reliance on analog samples modeling results to interpret its bulk composition, evolution, physical properties. A common...

The area of study is located 120 Km north-east of Shahrood city. In terms of structure and geological classification, this area is located in the northern part of central Iran zone. Granitoids of Troud ranging from monzonite to granite. The main minerals of granitoids are quartz, plagioclase, and orthose. The accessory minerals are biotite, hornblende, sphene, and opaque minerals. Various textu...

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...
