Basement rocks cropping out are mainly older PreCambrian metamorphic rocks and younger Pre Cambrian sedimentary rocks. A north-south trough formed during Paleozoic time is now characterized by quartzites and limestones and Triassic-Jurassic marine and terrigenous sedimentary rocks. Intense volcanic activity occurred during Cretaceous and Tertiary tim e . The Lower Cretaceous and Laramide volcanic rocks are de­ scribed, and their possible relationship with some porphyry copper

  • The Commingling of Diverse Magma Types in the Fwgstaff Ltlke Igneous Complex
    Maine Geological Survey Studies in Maine Geology: Volume 3 1989 The Commingling of Diverse Magma Types in the Fwgstaff Ltlke Igneous Complex Roger L. Nielsen1 Emily S. Landis Vincent M . Ceci Cynthia}. Post01i2 Department ofGeo logy University of Maryland College Park, Maryland 20742 1Present address: College of Oceanography Oregon State University Corvallis, Oregon 97331 2 Present address: Building 222, Room A/21 National Bureau ofStandards Gaithersburg, Maryland 20899 ABSTRACT The Flagstaff Lake Igneous Complex is a member of an array of Acadian plutons which extend from the Katahdin batholith in the northeast to New Hampshire in the southwest. It is characterized by four major rock types: (1) gabbro, (2) granite, (3) garnet tonalite, and (4) trondhjemite. Field, petrographic, and geochemical evidence support the hypothesis that these diverse rocks existed as contemporaneous liquids, and that extensive mixing occurred at the time of emplacement. The dominant mafic mineral pairs in the gabbros are olivine-clinopyroxene, two pyroxenes, and pyroxene­ hornblende. The high Fe, low Ni and Cr contents of most of the gab bro sampled imply that it underwent substantial fractional crystallization prior to and during emplacement. The granitic rocks of the Flagstaff Lake Igneous Complex are heterogeneous, ranging from two-mica granites with equal amounts (-30%) of orthoclase, plagioclase, and quartz, to mafic diorites. These K-feldspar-bearing silicic rocks are exposed over -40% of the areal extent of the complex. Trondhjemite containing biotite, plagioclase, cordierite, and quartz, with minor muscovite and K-feldspar, is located along the margins of the intrusion, particularly in areas where the contact between the gabbro and granite intersects aluminous metapelitic wall rocks.

  • Petrogenesis of Slab-Derived Trondhjemite-Tonalite-Dacite/ Adakite Magmas M
    Transactions of the Royal Society of Edinburgh: Earth Sciences, 87, 205-215, 1996 Petrogenesis of slab-derived trondhjemite-tonalite-dacite/ adakite magmas M. S. Drummond, M. J. Defant and P. K. Kepezhinskas ABSTRACT: The prospect of partial melting of the subducted oceanic crust to produce arc magmatism has been debated for over 30 years. Debate has centred on the physical conditions of slab melting and the lack of a definitive, unambiguous geochemical signature and petrogenetic process. Experimental partial melting data for basalt over a wide range of pressures (1-32 kbar) and temperatures (700-1150=C) have shown that melt compositions are primarily trondhjemite- tonalite-dacite (TTD). High-Al (> 15% A12O3 at the 70% SiO2 level) TTD melts are produced by high-pressure 015 kbar) partial melting of basalt, leaving a restite assemblage of garnet + clinopyroxe'ne ± hornblende. A specific Cenozoic high-Al TTD (adakite) contains lower Y, Yb and Sc and higher Sr, Sr/Y, La'/Yb and.Zr/Sm relative to other TTD types and is interpreted to represent a slab melt under garnet amphibolite to eclogite conditions. High-Al TTD with an adakite-like geochemical character is prevalent in the Archean as the result of a higher geotherm that facilitated slab melting. Cenozoic adakite localities are commonly associated with the subduction of young (<25Ma), hot oceanic crust, which may provide a slab geotherm (*9-10=C km"1) conducive for slab dehydration melting. Viable alternative or supporting tectonic effects that may enhance slab melting include highly oblique convergence and resultant high shear stresses and incipient subduction into a pristine hot mantle wedge.

    Higher Education in Regional and City Development Higher Education in Regional and City Higher Education in Regional and City Development Development SONORA, MEXICO, Sonora is one of the wealthiest states in Mexico and has made great strides in Sonora, building its human capital and skills. How can Sonora turn the potential of its universities and technological institutions into an active asset for economic and Mexico social development? How can it improve the equity, quality and relevance of education at all levels? Jaana Puukka, Susan Christopherson, This publication explores a range of helpful policy measures and institutional Patrick Dubarle, Jocelyne Gacel-Ávila, reforms to mobilise higher education for regional development. It is part of the series Vera Pavlakovich-Kochi of the OECD reviews of Higher Education in Regional and City Development. These reviews help mobilise higher education institutions for economic, social and cultural development of cities and regions. They analyse how the higher education system impacts upon regional and local development and bring together universities, other higher education institutions and public and private agencies to identify strategic goals and to work towards them.

  • Precambrian Geology of the Elk Mountain-Spring Mountain Area
    Precambrian Geology of the Elk Mountain - Spring Mountain Area, San Miguel County, New Mexico by Ingrid Klich, Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Geology New Mexico Institute of Miningand Technology Socorro, New Mexico February, 1983 i ABSTRACT Precambrian rocks of the Elk Mountain - Spring Mountain area, San Miguel County, New Mexico consist primarily of a bimodal (mafic-felsic) metavolcanic assemblage, plus locally abundant metasedimentary rocks (predominantly of volcanic provenance, plus ironstone, shales, and limestone) , and a complex of intrusives including meta- diabase and gabbro, tonal.f.te , granite , syenite and pegmatites. The metavolcanic suite is largely comprised of subaqueous basalts (with well-preserved pillow-structures), plus lesser amounts of felsic volcanic and volcaniclastic rocks ranging from rhyolites to dacites. The supracrustal succession has been subjected to at least two periodsof tight to isoclinal.folding, accompanied byintense tectonic transposition such that present orientations of 1ithol.ogic units no longer represent their original stratigraphy. Thus, delineation of a stratigraphic section for the supracrustal rocks within the study area is not yet possible. Rocks of the supracrustal succession have been variably metamorphosed to lower amphibolite facies with slight retrograde metamorphism to greenschist facies. Chemical analyses verify the compositional bimodality of the supracrustal assemblage. The mafic rocks are characterizedmainly as subaJ.kaline, low-K tholeiites, ii whereas the felsic rocks appear to be both tholeiitic and calc-al.kaline.Tectonic discrimination diagrams suggest formation of: these rocks at an island arc - destructive plate boundary. The submarine environment, bimodal volcanic suite, and relationship to associated sedimentary rocks are all compatible with deposition ina marginal.
