We investigate the relationship between the petrology and visible–near infrared spectra of the unbrecciated eucrites and synthetic pyroxene–plagioclase mixtures to determine how spectra obtained by the Dawn mission could distinguish between several models that have been suggested for the petrogenesis of Vesta’s crust (e.g., partial melting and magma ocean). Here, we study the spectra of petrolo...

kalchouyeh area in southwest of naein is located in the urumieh-dokhtar volcano-plutonic belt. mineralization occurred mainly as disseminations and veinlets hosted by trachy-andesite and pyroxene andesites. for mineralogy, alteration, fluid inclusion and geochemical studies, the two major mineralized zones: a (larger vein) from the north-northwest and b (smaller vein) from the east-southeast of...

the arghash area is located 45 km to southwest of neyshabour. the subvolcanic rocks in the area consist of biotite hornblende quartz monzodiorite porphyry, hornblende biotite quartz monzodiorite porphyry, hornblende monzonite porphyry, biotite hornblende monzonite porphyry, monzodiorite porphyry and biotite quartz monzodiorite porphyry units. the volcanic rocks consist of hornblende biotite dac...

Introduction: Martian meteorites have various characteristics, which are direct clues to understanding the petrogenesis of Mars rocks. The variation in oxidation state among the Martian meteorites must have important implications for redox conditions of the Martian crust/mantle and overall differentiation on Mars. Wadhwa [1] and Herd et al. [2] reported that Martian basalts were formed under a ...

Abstract The first samples collected by the Perseverance rover on Mars 2020 mission were from Maaz formation, a lava plain that covers most of floor Jezero crater. Laboratory analysis these back Earth would provide important constraints petrologic history, aqueous processes, and timing key events in However, interpreting requires detailed understanding emplacement modification history formation...

A volcano-sedimentary succession, including the Guruf volcanic series, is exposed at Gabal Um in north Eastern Desert of Egypt. series intermediate to silicic flows and associated pyroclastic deposits unconformably overlie quartz-diorite granodiorite plutons are intruded by high-level alkali feldspar granites. The metavolcanic xenoliths shown be unrelated volcanics. Two cycles can recognized. l...

Introduction: Basaltic pyroclastic rocks are uncommon on Earth because most mafic magmas are too volatile-poor to drive explosive eruptions [3-4]. However, basaltic pyroclastic deposits maybe much more common on Mars than on Earth [4-7] because Mars’ lower gravity and thinner atmosphere permit explosive eruptions from magmas with lower volatile contents. Though rare, basaltic pyroclastic rock o...

The heat capacities of a rhyolite and an andesite glass and liquid have been investigated from relativeenthalpy measurements made between 400 and 1800 K. For the glass phases, the experimental data agree with empirical models of calculation of the heat capacity. For the liquid phases, the agreement is less good owing to strong interactions between alkali metals and aluminum, which are not curre...
