The deposit is confined within a felsic tuff unit; about 10 meters thick where sampled for chemical analysis. Using XRF, EDS and XRD techniques, we found besides todorokite, cryptomelane, quartz, romanechite (psilomelane), birnessite, illite-muscovite, cristobalite, chlorite, barite, halloysite, woodruffite, nacrite or kaolinite, and possibly hollandite-ferrian, as well as an amorphous material and two unknown manganese phases.

  • Structure and Composition OXIDATION ZONE
    OXIDATION ZONE Structure and Composition The first scanty information on the oxidation zone of the Rubtsovskoe deposit was obtained as a result of drilling in the early 1970s. Three major subzones were distinguished downward: (1) a leached oxidized ore zone largely composed of iron hydroxides and kaolinite; (2) a secondary oxide enrichment subzone with cuprite, native copper, malachite, azurite, cerus - site; and (3) a secondary sulfide enrichment subzone (that transitions to an underlying zone of mixed ores) with chalcocite and covellite (Stroitelev et al. , 1996). As a result of our observation in underground workings, the structure, min - eralogy, and genetic features of the oxidation zone of the deposit were spec - ified substantially. The top of the orebody is supergene altered to the highest degree at the WSW flank, where it is located higher in altitude. The upper boundary of the orebody gently plunges ENE and the oxidation zone (we do not discuss the mixed ores) gradually pinches out; the oxidation zone extends along the strike of the orebody for approximately 300 m. In the WSW part of the ore - body, the oxidized ores occur in the altitude interval from +137–138 to +163 m. The lower boundary of the oxidized ores rise toward the ESE and the main part of the oxidation zone occurs in the range of +144–145 to +153–157 m. The oxidized part of the orebody varies from 2 to 8 m in thickness, reaching 15–17 m in swells and occasionally more than 20 m. Both underlying and overlapping rocks are dominated by clayey minerals; these are wall-rock argillaceous alterations, frequently altered as a result of ore oxidation especially adjacent to the contact of the orebody.

New and revised geographic and geologic terminologies assist with effectively discussing the various features of this region. We identify 7 geologic units making up Planum Boreum and at least 3 for the circumpolar plains, which collectively span the entire Amazonian Period. The Planum Boreum units resolve at least 6 distinct depositional and 5 erosional episodes. The first major stage of activity includes the Early Amazonian (∼3 to 1 Ga) deposition (and subsequent erosion) of the thick (locally exceeding 1000 m) and evenly- layered Rupes Tenuis unit (ABrt), which ultimately formed approximately half of the base of Planum Boreum. As previously suggested, this unit may be sourced by materials derived from the nearby Scandia region, and we interpret that it may correlate with the deposits that regionally underlie pedestal craters in the surrounding lowland plains.

  • 8. Projectile ˜˜˜
    8. Projectile ˜˜˜ Meteoritic remnants of the impacting asteroid that produced Barringer Crater littered the landscape when exploration began ~115 years ago. As described in Chapter 1, meteoritic irons are what initially captured Foote’s interest and spurred Barringer’s interest in a possibly rich natural source of native metal. After Foote’s description was published, samples were collected by F. W. Volz at a nearby trading post and sold widely. Gilbert (1896) estimated that 10 tons of meteoritic debris had already been recovered by the time of his visit. Similarly, Barringer (1905) estimated that 10 to 15 tons of it were circulating around the world by the time his exploration work began. Fortunately, he tried to document the geographic and mass distribution of that debris in a detailed map, which is reproduced in Fig. 8.1. The map indicates that meteoritic irons were recovered from distances approaching 10 km. Gilbert (1896) apparently recovered a sample nearly 13 km beyond the crater rim. A lot of the meteoritic material was oxidized. It is sometimes simply called oxidized iron, but large masses are also called shale balls. A concentrated deposit of small oxidized iron fragments was found northeast of the crater, although those types of fragments are distributed in all directions around the crater. The current estimate of the recovered meteoritic iron mass is 30 tons (Nininger, 1949; Grady, 2000), although this is a highly uncertain number. Specimens were transported in pre-historical times and have been found scattered throughout Arizona (see, for example, Wasson, 1968). Specimens have also been illicitly removed in recent times, without any documentation of the locations or masses recovered.

  • Handbook of Iron Meteorites, Volume 2 (Canyon Diablo, Part 2)
    Canyon Diablo 395 The primary structure is as before. However, the kamacite has been briefly reheated above 600° C and has recrystallized throughout the sample. The new grains are unequilibrated, serrated and have hardnesses of 145-210. The previous Neumann bands are still plainly visible , and so are the old subboundaries because the original precipitates delineate their locations. The schreibersite and cohenite crystals are still monocrystalline, and there are no reaction rims around them. The troilite is micromelted , usually to a somewhat larger extent than is present in I-III. Severe shear zones, 100-200 J1 wide , cross the entire specimens. They are wavy, fan out, coalesce again , and may displace taenite, plessite and minerals several millimeters. The present exterior surfaces of the slugs and wedge-shaped masses have no doubt been produced in a similar fashion by shear-rupture and have later become corroded. Figure 469.

This kind of material is believed to represent shock­ annealed fragments of the impacting main body. Since the fragments have not had a very long flight through the atmosphere, well developed fusion crusts and heat-affected rim zones are not expected to be present. The energy responsible for bulk reheating of the small masses to about 600° C is believed to have come from the conversion of kinetic to heat energy during the impact and fragmentation.

The origin of Chasma Boreale remains Discussion a subject of controversy. Clifford [1] proposed that the Chasma was Chasma Boreale exhibits some features similar to those associated carved as a result of a jökulhlaup triggered by either breach of a crater with terrestrial jökulhlaup events. Single flood events on Earth show a containing basal meltwater or by basal melting due to a hot spot beneath variety of flood conditions, and outburst floods also exhibit several flood the cap. Benito et al. [2] suggest an origin in which catastrophic outflow peaks [5] which could explain the irregular nature of the Chasma floor, is triggered by sapping caused by a tectono-thermal event.

The origin is proposed for Chasma Australe in the Martian southern polar asymmetry of the floor at the base of the walls in (Fig. 2 b) could be due cap [3].

  • 1 Revision 1 Single-Crystal Elastic Properties of Minerals and Related
    Revision 1 Single-Crystal Elastic Properties of Minerals and Related Materials with Cubic Symmetry Thomas S. Duffy Department of Geosciences Princeton University Abstract The single-crystal elastic moduli of minerals and related materials with cubic symmetry have been collected and evaluated. The compiled dataset covers measurements made over an approximately seventy year period and consists of 206 compositions. More than 80% of the database is comprised of silicates, oxides, and halides, and approximately 90% of the entries correspond to one of six crystal structures (garnet, rocksalt, spinel, perovskite, sphalerite, and fluorite). Primary data recorded are the composition of each material, its crystal structure, density, and the three independent nonzero adiabatic elastic moduli (C11, C12, and C44). From these, a variety of additional elastic and acoustic properties are calculated and compiled, including polycrystalline aggregate elastic properties, sound velocities, and anisotropy factors. The database is used to evaluate trends in cubic mineral elasticity through consideration of normalized elastic moduli (Blackman diagrams) and the Cauchy pressure. The elastic anisotropy and auxetic behavior of these materials are also examined. Compilations of single-crystal elastic moduli provide a useful tool for investigation structure-property relationships of minerals. 1 Introduction The elastic moduli are among the most fundamental and important properties of minerals (Anderson et al. 1968). They are central to understanding mechanical behavior and have applications across many disciplines of the geosciences. They control the stress-strain relationship under elastic loading and are relevant to understanding strength, hardness, brittle/ductile behavior, damage tolerance, and mechanical stability. Elastic moduli govern the propagation of elastic waves and hence are essential to the interpretation of seismic data, including seismic anisotropy in the crust and mantle (Bass et al.
