The Durkan Complex is a key tectonic element of the Makran accretionary prism (SE Iran) and it has been interpreted as representing continental margin succession. We present here multidisciplinary study western Complex, which based on new geological, stratigraphic, biostratigraphic data, well geochemical data volcanic meta-volcanic rocks forming this complex. Our show that complex consists dist...

BACKGROUND Many patients ask for advice about choosing a pillow. This research was undertaken to determine if pillow type alters cervico-thoracic spine position when resting in the side-lying position. AIM To investigate the effect of different pillow shape and content on the slope of cervico-thoracic spine segments when side lying. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study was a randomized blinded c...

Abundant mafic and ultramafic rocks including basalts, komatiitic basalts, and peridotites occur in the Proterozoic Sibao Group, northern Guangxi Province, China. Whereas the basalts are generally pillow lavas, the komatiitic basalts are typically spinifex-textured and, in a few cases, show pyroxene accumulation associated with Ni Cu (PGE) sulfide deposits. The peridotites occur in the lower po...

the kahnuj ophiolitic complex, a part of the jazmurian ophiolitic belt, is located on the western boundary of the jazmurian depression and is bounded by two major fault systems. there is a well-preserved, ophiolite pseudostratigraphy of early cretaceous to early palaeocene age and has a bearing on the mesozoic development of southeastern part of iran and adjacent region. the kahnuj ophiolitic c...

Three tectono-magmatic systems create volcanism in Central America; the volcanic front, a weak secondary front and the back-arc. Most magma output occurs at the volcanic front along narrow lines of historically active composite volcanoes in strikeslip/extensional settings. Lavas have strong slab signature, are water-rich and plagioclase and pyroxene phyric. A sporadic secondary front occurs abo...

Troodos is a classical ophiolite complex. It is proposed that the serpentinized harzburgites that now form the top of the mountain and represent the originally lowest part of the ophiolite sequence rose as a diapir. This diapiric rise is caused by the pervasive serpentinization of a suboceanic harzburgite, due to rock-sea water interaction. The serpentinization caused a 44% expansion of the roc...

An Eocene submarine boninite series volcanic center is exposed on the island of Chichi-jima, Bonin Islands, Japan. Five rock types, boninite, bronzite andesite, dacite, quartz dacite, and rhyolite, were distinguished within the boninite volcanic sequence on the basis of petrographic and geochemical observations. Boninite lavas contain high magnesium, nickel, and chromium contents indicative of ...

Volcán San Pedro in the Andean Southern Volcanic Zone (SVZ) Consequently, the role of young, unradiogenic hydrous gabbro in Chile, comprises Holocene basaltic to dacitic lavas with trace generating dacite and contaminating basalt may be underappreciated element and strontium isotope ratios more variable than those of in the SVZ. most Pleistocene lavas of the underlying Tatara–San Pedro complex....

Trace element and Th, Sr and Pb isotope data for young lavas from the Tonga-Kermadec arc in the southwest Pacific suggest that geochemical variations in the lavas along the arc are linked to differences in the material being subducted beneath the arc. Lavas from the southern (Kermadec) segment of the arc have relatively radiogenic Pb isotope compositions, which reflects a contribution from subd...
