We are pleased that you join this event from 21–24 September 2014. The congress motto “Minerals at Focal Point” refers on one hand to the object of our discipline and on the other hand to the long tradition of the science center Jena in optical microscopy. Organized under this motto the meeting aims at bringing together researchers from all fi elds of our multifaceted discipline mineralogy. The meeting program advertises a wide range of topics at the crossroads of crystal- lography, applied mineralogy, petrology, and geo-/cosmochemistry. We are happy to have received your numerous (almost 300!) contributions to the 17 sessions and look forward to vivid discussions. Besides the scientifi c sessions the conference program offers also an optional half- day excursion to the close-by former Uranium mining district at Ronneburg, a city tour and prolonged hours of opening of the mineralogical collections. It so happens that the organization of the 2014 DMG meeting coincides with the 100th anniversary of the journal “Chemie der Erde/Geochemistry”, which was originally founded in Jena by one of the fathers of the DMG, Prof. Gottlob Eduard Linck. To celebrate this event a special volume is in press that will be available to the attendees. The meeting could not happen without the support of sponsors, the engagement of conveners, your contributions and the many helpers of the local team. Thank you all for your efforts! We hope you will enjoy the conference program and look forward to your attendance and contributions. Welcome in the city of light.

  • James Hutton's Reputation Among Geologists in the Late Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries
    The Geological Society of America Memoir 216 Revising the Revisions: James Hutton’s Reputation among Geologists in the Late Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries A. M. Celâl Şengör* İTÜ Avrasya Yerbilimleri Enstitüsü ve Maden Fakültesi, Jeoloji Bölümü, Ayazağa 34469 İstanbul, Turkey ABSTRACT A recent fad in the historiography of geology is to consider the Scottish polymath James Hutton’s Theory of the Earth the last of the “theories of the earth” genre of publications that had begun developing in the seventeenth century and to regard it as something behind the times already in the late eighteenth century and which was subsequently remembered only because some later geologists, particularly Hutton’s countryman Sir Archibald Geikie, found it convenient to represent it as a precursor of the prevailing opinions of the day. By contrast, the available documentation, pub- lished and unpublished, shows that Hutton’s theory was considered as something completely new by his contemporaries, very different from anything that preceded it, whether they agreed with him or not, and that it was widely discussed both in his own country and abroad—from St. Petersburg through Europe to New York. By the end of the third decade in the nineteenth century, many very respectable geologists began seeing in him “the father of modern geology” even before Sir Archibald was born (in 1835). Before long, even popular books on geology and general encyclopedias began spreading the same conviction. A review of the geological literature of the late eighteenth and the nineteenth centuries shows that Hutton was not only remembered, but his ideas were in fact considered part of the current science and discussed accord- ingly.

Schmitt Four to six one-gram specimens separated by adistance of several inches were obtained from each of 23 largechondritic meteorites (approximately 1 kg each) representing theolivine bronzite (H5), olivine hypersthene (L6) and enstatite (E5)classifications. Each specimen was analyzed for Na and Mn viainstrumental neutron activation analysis to a precision of about 1. 5% usingthe 2. 75 Mev and 0.84 Mev photopeaks for Na and Mn, respectively. The olivine bronzite (H5) falls were found to exhibit aMn homogeneity dispersion range of 3. 9% to 1. 7% for thelarge individual meteorites; Na dispersion range was 5. 2% to 4. 9%.One group of olivine bronzite (H5) finds consisting of five large meteoritefrag- ments exhibited a Mn dispersion range of 0. 8% to Z.7%; Na dispersion range was 1. 8% to 4. 7%.Another group of olivine bronzite (H5) finds consisting of four large pieces showed a Mn dispersion rangefrom 3. 8% to 17 % ; Na dispersion range,3. 8% to 31 % .The olivine hypersthene (L6) falls showed a Mn dispersion of 1.4% to 3.4%; Na dispersion, 2. 0% to 7. 1 %.The olivine hypersthene finds showed a Mn dispersion range of 2.5% to 5. 3%; Na dispersion range, 1.5% to 7. 6 %.The single enstatite find showed a. relative dispersion of 45% for Mn and 28% for Na.

Keeper of the Mineral Department of the British Museum. [Read January 20, 1920.] HE first broad grouping of meteorites was into irons and stones T according as they consisted mainly of nickeliferous iron or of silicates. These were the two main divisions of the first really service- able classification as applied by Gustav Rose in 1862-4 to the collection of meteorites in the, University Museum of Berlin. In this classification the division of meteoric irons included as separate groups the pallasites and the mesosiderites, in which nickel-iron "rod silicates are present in about equal amounts; and the meteo~fic stones were for the first time split up into chondrites, or stones containing those curious rounded grains (chondrules) peculiar to meteorites, and non-Chondritic stones, which were divided according to mineralogical composition into the groups of eucrites, howardites, &c., still largely recognized. At about the same time (1868) Maskelyne used for the British Museum Collection the threefold division of meteorites into siderites or meteoric irons, consisting mainly of nickeliferous iron, siderolites, consisting of metal and silicates in about equal amounts, and aerolites or meteoric stones, consisting mainly of silicates. In Tschermak's modification of the Rose classification, published in 1888, the siderolites were kept, as by Maskelyne, distinct ti'om the irons, the irons themselves were for the first time separated into the groups of I Communicated by permission of the Trustees of the British Museum.

  • Introduction to Cosmochemistry
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-87862-3 - Cosmochemistry Harry Y. McSween and Gary R. Huss Excerpt More information 1 Introduction to cosmochemistry Overview Cosmochemistry is defined, and its relationship to geochemistry is explained. We describe the historical beginnings of cosmochemistry, and the lines of research that coalesced into the field of cosmochemistry are discussed. We then briefly introduce the tools of cosmochem- istry and the datasets that have been produced by these tools. The relationships between cosmochemistry and geochemistry, on the one hand, and astronomy, astrophysics, and geology, on the other, are considered. What is cosmochemistry? A significant portion of the universe is comprised of elements, ions, and the compounds formed by their combinations – in effect, chemistry on the grandest scale possible. These chemical components can occur as gases or superheated plasmas, less commonly as solids, and very rarely as liquids. Cosmochemistry is the study of the chemical composition of the universe and the processes that produced those compositions. This is a tall order, to be sure. Understandably, cosmo- chemistry focuses primarily on the objects in our own solar system, because that is where we have direct access to the most chemical information. That part of cosmochemistry encom- passes the compositions of the Sun, its retinue of planets and their satellites, the almost innumerable asteroids and comets, and the smaller samples (meteorites, interplanetary dust particles or “IDPs,” returned lunar samples) derived from them. From their chemistry, determined by laboratory measurements of samples or by various remote-sensing techniques, cosmochemists try to unravel the processes that formed or affected them and to fixthe chronology of these events.

AUGUST 15, 1929 SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION UiNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM Bulletin 149 COMPOSITION AND STRUCTURE OF METEORITES BY GEORGE P. MERRILL Head Curator of Geology, United States National Museum UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE WASHINGTON : 1930 the Superintendent of For »ale by Documents, Washington, D. C. ------- Price 40 i ADVERTISEMENT The scientific publications of the National Museum include two series, known, respectively, as Proceedings and Bulletin. The Proceedings, begun in 1878, is intended primarily as a medium for the publication of original papers, based on the collections of the National Museum, that set forth newly acquired facts in biology, anthropology, and geology, with descriptions of new forms and revi- sions of limited groups. Copies of each paper, in pamphlet form, are distributed as published to libraries and scientific organizations and to specialists and others interested in the different subjects. The dates at which these separate papers are published are recorded in the table of contents of each of the volumes. The Bulletins, the first of which was issued in 1875, consist of a series of separate publications comprising monographs of large zoological groups and other general systematic treatises (occasionally in several volumes), faunal works, reports of expeditions, catalogues of type-specimens, special collections, and other material of similar nature. The majority of the volumes are octavo in size, but a cpiarto size has been adopted in a few instances in which large plates were regarded as indispensable. In the Bulletin series appear volumes under the heading Contributions from the United States National Herbarium, in octavo form, published by the National Museum since 1902, which contain papers relating to the botanical collections of the Museum.
