    minerals Editorial Editorial for Special Issue “Ore Genesis and Metamorphism: Geochemistry, Mineralogy, and Isotopes” Pavel A. Serov Geological Institute of the Kola Science Centre, Russian Academy of Sciences, 184209 Apatity, Russia; [email protected] Magmatism, ore genesis and metamorphism are commonly associated processes that define fundamental features of the Earth’s crustal evolution from the earliest Precambrian to Phanerozoic. Basically, the need and importance of studying the role of metamorphic processes in formation and transformation of deposits is of great value when discussing the origin of deposits confined to varied geological settings. In synthesis, the signatures imprinted by metamorphic episodes during the evolution largely indicate complicated and multistage patterns of ore-forming processes, as well as the polygenic nature of the mineralization generated by magmatic, postmagmatic, and metamorphic processes. Rapid industrialization and expanding demand for various types of mineral raw ma- terials require increasing rates of mining operations. The current Special Issue is dedicated to the latest achievements in geochemistry, mineralogy, and geochronology of ore and metamorphic complexes, their interrelation, and the potential for further prospecting. The issue contains six practical and theoretical studies that provide for a better understanding of the age and nature of metamorphic and metasomatic transformations, as well as their contribution to mineralization in various geological complexes. The first article, by Jiang et al. [1], reports results of the first mineralogical–geochemical Citation: Serov, P.A.

  • A K-Feldspar Breccia from the MO-Cu Stockwork Deposit in the Galway Granite, West of Ireland

Printed in Northern Ireland A K-feldspar breccia from the MO-Cu stockwork deposit in the Galway Granite, west of Ireland J. M. DERHAM & M. FEELY Department of Geology, University College, Galway, Ireland Abstrart: A K-feldspar breccia, spatially associated with the MO-Cu mineralization of a stockwork in the Late Caledonian Galway Granite at Mace Head, is described for the first time. Detailed mapping reveals a network of breccia pods and veins over an area of approximately 6000 m’. The breccia is clast-supportedand is composed of sub-angular fragments of perthiticK-feldspar megacrysts (<10cm), granite and microgranodiorite clasts (<25 m) set in a matrix of quartz (<l cm), biotite (<5 cm) and apatite (<3 mm). Field and textural studies indicated that the feldspar megacrysts and granite clasts were brecciated and silicified as they were carried (to the present structural level) by hydrous K- and Si0,-rich fluids. The residue of these fluids crystallized to form the breccia matrix. The formation of the breccia predates the mineralized quartz veins of the MO-Cu stockwork. It is concluded that the breccia formation is genetically related to ore-forming processes in the Galway Granite. Breccia lithologies with a wide spectrum of characteristics of the batholith.

  • Columnals (PDF)
    2248 22482 2 4 V. INDEX OF COLUMNALS 8 Remarks: In this section the stratigraphic range given under the genus is the compiled range of all named species based solely on columnals assigned to the genus. It should be noted that this range may and often differs considerably from the range given under the same genus in Section I, because that range is based on species identified on cups or crowns. All other abbreviations and format follow that of Section I. Generic names followed by the type species are based on columnals. Genera, not followed by the type species, are based on cups and crowns as given in Section I. There are a number of unlisted columnal taxa from the literature that are indexed as genera recognized on cups and crowns. Bassler and Moodey (1943) did not index columnal taxa that were not new names or identified genera with the species unnamed. I have included some of the omissions of Bassler and Moodey, but have not made a search of the extensive literature specifically for the omitted citations because of time constraints. Many of these unlisted taxa are illustrated in the early state surveys of the eastern and central United States. Many of the columnal species assigned to genera based on cups or crowns are incorrect assignments. An uncertain, but significant, number of the columnal genera are synonyms of other columnal genera as they are based on different parts of the stem of a single taxon. Also a number of the columnal genera are synonyms of genera based on cups and crowns as they come from more distal parts of the stem not currently known to be associated with the cup or crown.

    Mineralogy and Petrology https://doi.org/10.1007/s00710-018-0637-0 ORIGINAL PAPER Boninite volcanic rocks from the mélange of NW Dinaric-Vardar ophiolite zone (Mt. Medvednica, Croatia) – record of Middle to Late Jurassic arc-forearc system in the Tethyan subduction factory Damir Slovenec1 & Branimir Šegvić2 Received: 13 September 2017 /Accepted: 17 September 2018 # Springer-Verlag GmbH Austria, part of Springer Nature 2018 Abstract In the Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous ophiolite mélange from the Mt. Medvednica (Vardar Ocean) blocks of boninite rocks have been documented. They emerge as massive lavas made of augite, spinel, albite and secondary hydrous silicates (e.g., chlorite, epidote, prehnite, and pumpellyite). An established crystallization sequence (spinel→clinopyroxene→plagioclase ±Fe-Ti oxides) was found to be typical for the boninite series from the suprasubduction zones (SSZ). Augite crystallization temperatures and low pressures of ~1048 to 1260 °C and ~0.24 to 0.77 GPa, respectively, delineated the SSZ mantle wedge as a plausible source of boninite parental lavas. Their whole-rock geochemistry is characterised by low Ti, P2O5, Zr, Y, high-silica, and high Mg# and Cr# values. Low and U-shaped REE profiles are consistent with the negative Nb-Ta, P and Ti anomalies indicative for SSZ. Thorium and LILE enrichment, and very low initial Nd-isotopic values (εNd(T = 150 Ma) +0.49to+1.27)actas vestiges of mantle-wedge metasomatism. The mantle source was likely depleted by the MORB and IAT melt extraction and was contemporaneously affected by subduction fluids, prior to the large-scale adiabatic melting of the mantle hanging wall.

The lower-size limit of the more importantly, in the matter of genetic fragments is generally set at 2 mm, the limiting implications. Indeed, in the most recent size for granules and larger particles (Went- glossary of geologic terms (American Geological worth, 1922; 1935).

Ogles Dean, College of Arts and Sciences Abstract BARLEY, BRENT J., M.S., August 2006, Geological Sciences POLYPHASE DEFORMATION IN SAN MIGUEL LAS MINAS, NORTHERN ACATLAN COMPLEX, SOUTHERN MEXICO (58 pages) Director of Thesis: R. Damian Nance Mapping in the northern part of the Acatlán Complex (southern Mexico) has distinguished two lithological units: a high-grade unit assigned to the Piaxtla Suite, and a low-grade unit assigned to the Cosoltepec Formation. Two major Paleozoic tectonothermal events have been identified in these rocks. The first event produced a penetrative deformational fabric (SPS1) parallel to a compositional banding during blueschist and amphibolite facies metamorphism, which has recently been dated as ~346 Ma in a neighboring area, and a greenschist overprint during exhumation. The second event, which is recorded in both the Piaxtla Suite and Cosoltepec Formation, produced two penetrative deformational fabrics under subgreenschist metamorphic conditions. The first, high-grade tectonothermal event accompanied closure of the Rheic Ocean and tectonic juxtapositioning of the two units during exhumation of the high-grade unit in the Devono-Carboniferous.
