  • The Distribution of Ammonium in Granites from South-West England
    Journal of the Geological Society, London, Vol. 145, 1988, pp. 37-41, 1 fig., 5 tables. Printed in Northern Ireland The distribution of ammonium in granites from South-West England A. HALL Department of Geology, Royal Holloway and Bedford New College, Egham, Surrey TW20 OEX, UK Abstract: The ammonium contents of granites, pegmatites and hydrothermally altered rocks from SW England have been measured. Ammonium levels in the granites are generally high compared with those from other regions, averaging 36ppm,and they differ markedlybetween intrusions. The pegmatites show higherammonium contents than any other igneous rocks which have yet been investigated. Ammonium contents are strongly enriched in the hydrothermally altered rocks, includ- ing greisens and kaolinized granites. There is agood correlation between the average ammonium content of the intrusions in SW England and their initial "Sr/*'Sr ratios and peraluminosity. This relationship supports the hypothesis that the ammonium in the granites is derived from a sedimentary source, either in the magmatic source region or via contamination of the magma. Introduction Results Ammonium is present as a trace constituent of granitic The granites rocks, in which it occurs in feldspars and micas substituting isomorphously for potassium (Honma & Itihara 1981).

  • The Lees of Quethiock Cornwall Their Family History from Ancient Times
    THE LEES OF QUETHIOCK CORNWALL THEIR FAMILY HISTORY FROM ANCIENT TIMES "Brave men have lived before Agamemnon, lots of them. But on all of them - eternal night lies heavy, for they left no records behind. (`ODES` Horace 65-8BC) This is the story of those who did This is the story of my ancestors, the Lee family, who have left records behind and from which the line can be traced from Alexander and Thomas born 1994 and 1990 respectively, back to John of Legh, alive in 1433, and Richard de Leye, alive in 1327. John and Richard lived at, and took their surname from Legh, a pre-Norman settlement in Cornwall recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086. Legh is situated in the present parish of Quethiock, some 5 miles west of the River Tamar and 5 miles east of Liskeard, just in the southeast corner of Cornwall. To uncover the history took ten and more years of research. So what stimulated me to commence? In 1986 I watched a television programme on early portraiture. It was explained that during the time of the Roman Empire (146BC-410AD) it was fashionable to have a statue carved of oneself together with ones father and grandfather. To illustrate this a statue from the 1st century AD was shown; I was astounded to note that it bore a likeness to my family and in particular to my brother, David Henry Lee. I immediately commented on this to my wife, Brenda, who replied `No, it is more like you`. From that moment the question lay in my mind `I look like a Roman from 2000 years ago; I have the surname of Lee which is derived from a Saxon-German word meaning pasture; my father`s family were known to have come from Cornwall and so presumably I have West Welsh Celtic blood; my mother claimed her family came from Devon and I was born in Devonport on the borders of Devon and Cornwall; so who am I? Cornwall over the millenniums had been invaded by 6 or so groups of different people; Ancient British (7000BC), Celts (700BC-63AD), Danes (800AD), Romans (63-401AD), Saxons (447-1066AD), Normans (1066).

  • East Cornwall, South Devon and Dartmoor
    EAST CORNWALL, SOUTH DEVON AND DARTMOOR The geology between Bodmin Moor and Dartmoor, including part of South Devon comprises Carboniferous and Middle Devonian metasediments of sandstones, mudstones, black shales, cherts and volcanics, all of which have been subjected to thrusting. Into these has been intruded the Bodmin and Dartmoor mass, as well as satellite stocks of Kit Hill, Hingston/Gunnislake in Cornwall and Hemerdon in Devon. Within these sediments lie stratiform manganese silicate and carbonate deposits as well as indications of lead-zinc-copper volcanic massive sulphide (VMS) deposits. The setting is similar to the Iberian Pyrite Belt (IPB) in southern Spain and Portugal. Skarn deposits with mixed copper, zinc and arsenic sulphides, and one of which has tin silicates, have formed from the same volcano-sedimentary sequences and lie on the northern edge of the Dartmoor granite near Okehampton, inside the metamorphic aureole. The granite related main-stage mineralization ranges from large copper deposits on the south-eastern corner of the Bodmin granite around Minions to a tungsten-tin stockworks at Hemerdon to the southwest of the main Dartmoor mass; to tin, tin-iron progressing eastwards into iron deposits on Dartmoor as well as placer deposits of cassiterite and woframite on Bodmin Moor. On the East side of Datmoor in the Teign Valley occurs Pb,Zn, Ba, Ag, low temperature crosscourse mineralization. On the south coast of Devon near Torquay lies the epithermal gold-palladium occurrence at Hope’s Nose, hosted in Devonian limestones. East Cornwall (Bodmin Moor to Gunnislake) The geology of this area ranges from the granites of Bodmin Moor and the small outcrops of Kit Hill and Hingston Down/Gunnislake to Devonian and Carboniferous metasediments and volcanics.

  • Cornish Mineral Reference Manual
    Cornish Mineral Reference Manual Peter Golley and Richard Williams April 1995 First published 1995 by Endsleigh Publications in association with Cornish Hillside Publications © Endsleigh Publications 1995 ISBN 0 9519419 9 2 Endsleigh Publications Endsleigh House 50 Daniell Road Truro, Cornwall TR1 2DA England Printed in Great Britain by Short Run Press Ltd, Exeter. Introduction Cornwall's mining history stretches back 2,000 years; its mineralogy dates from comparatively recent times. In his Alphabetum Minerale (Truro, 1682) Becher wrote that he knew of no place on earth that surpassed Cornwall in the number and variety of its minerals. Hogg's 'Manual of Mineralogy' (Truro 1825) is subtitled 'in wich [sic] is shown how much Cornwall contributes to the illustration of the science', although the manual is not exclusively based on Cornish minerals. It was Garby (TRGSC, 1848) who was the first to offer a systematic list of Cornish species, with locations in his 'Catalogue of Minerals'. Garby was followed twenty-three years later by Collins' A Handbook to the Mineralogy of Cornwall and Devon' (1871; 1892 with addenda, the latter being reprinted by Bradford Barton of Truro in 1969). Collins followed this with a supplement in 1911. (JRIC Vol. xvii, pt.2.). Finally the torch was taken up by Robson in 1944 in the form of his 'Cornish Mineral Index' (TRGSC Vol. xvii), his amendments and additions were published in the same Transactions in 1952. All these sources are well known, but the next to appear is regrettably much less so. it would never the less be only just to mention Purser's 'Minerals and locations in S.W.

  • Department of Mineralogy, University of Oxford. New Occurrences
    SHORT COMMUNICATIONS 501 Within the last few years I have discovered another locality in Corn- wall, Penberthy Croft Mine, St. Hilary, where in a cavity in some decomposed, 'gossany' quartz-galena veinstone I found two small but well-defined prismatic crystals of phosgenite, associated with anglesite, on decomposed galena. The crystals of phosgenite are pale wine-yellow in colour, and of long prismatic habit, the larger of the two being about 8 ram. long and 2 ram. thick: both show well-developed terminal faces of c(001) and several small faces in the pyramid and prism zones, but the latter are in general very striated, with many small vicinal faces, and owing to the positions of the crystals in the cavity it is difficult to make out what most of the faces are. A second occurrence has also been identified, in Cumberland, from the outcrop of the main Driggith-Sandbed vein near Caldbeek, in an old opencast between the two mines: here colourless phosgenite has been found with anglesite in somewhat decomposed, massive granular galena.

ROSASITE, (Cu,Zn)2COa(OH)2 , was first described from the Rosas Mine, Sulcis, Sardinia, and has since been recorded from several localities in the U.S.A., at Tsumeb in South-West Africa, and in northern Turkestan. It is probably the zinc-rich end member, with Cu:Zn near 3:2, of an isostructural series with malachite, the X-ray powder-patterns being similar but with different spacings and quite distinct.
