The occurrence of this mineral and others of paragenetic origin is located somewhat in the contact area between the Algonquian granite and the schists of the same period, (Porongos series). The main purpose of this paper was the study og the history of the region, the genesis and the paragenesis of the minerals and some correlated phenomena. Special attention was given to the geological and petrographical features of the region, whose rocks consist predominantly of epi-meso-metamorphic schists, granite, andesite and relies of Devonian (?) arkoses (Camaquan series). The alkaline granite wich is intruded in the schists was responsible for the effects of contact and "lit-part-lit" metamorphism wich follows the structure of the schists. Feldspathization and sericitization are common in the contact zone. The molybdenite masses are related to few deep-seated high temperature quartz veins which are enclosed in the feldspathizied schists. The ore minerals are molybdenite, chalcopyrite, pyrite, gold, hornite, copper and magnetite. The gangue is mainly quartz, fluorite, epidot, calcite, limonite and malachite occur locally. The viens, certainly formed at considerable depths, and classified as hipo-mesothermal veins, according to the Lindgren's classification, are connected to the granitic intrusion. Molybdenite occurs either in veins or disseminated in the country-rock. The writer is of the opinion that the fluorin had played an important part regarding to the precipitation of molybdenite, which should be present as a volatile constituent - Mo'F IND.6' - in the granitic magma. Finally the authoor concludes that the first mineral to be formed was molybdenite, which was succeeded by others Franco,R.R. 1944. Tin belt of Rio Grande do Sul.

Powder specimens of garnierite were annealed in static air between room temperature and 1000 ◦C. The kinetic of the transformation was investigated by means of thermo- gravimetric and differential thermal analysis, and the final product was extensively characterized via micro-Raman spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. Our study shows that serpentine-like garnierite consists of a mixture of different mineral species. Furthermore, these garnierites and their compo- sition can provide details based on the mineralogy and the crystalline phases resulting from the thermal treatment.

Late Devonian (Frasnian) bivalves from the Nocedo Formation – the results of Wil- helm Kegel’s 1927 field trip to northern Spain. Scripta Geologica Special Issue, 7: 13-34, 9 figs., Leiden, December 2010. Michael R.W. Amler, Department für Geo- und Umweltwissenschaften, Sektion Geologie, and Geo- Biocenter Munich, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, Luisenstr. 37, D-80333 München, Ger- many ([email protected]), and Institut für Geologie und Paläontologie im Fachbereich Geographie der Philipps-Universität Marburg, Hans-Meerwein-Str., D-35032 Marburg, Germany ([email protected]). Key words — Bivalvia, Rhenish Facies, Nocedo Formation, Frasnian, Cantabrian Mountains, Iberia, Wilhelm Kegel. During a field trip to the Peña-Corada Unit of the southernmost Esla region of the Cantabrian Moun- tains in 1927, the German stratigrapher Wilhelm Kegel sampled brachiopods and bivalves from a section in the Laoz valley near La Ercina. The stratigraphic position is believed to be part of the No- cedo Formation of Frasnian age. This fauna includes poorly preserved steinkerns of a near-shore bi- valve fauna that was prepared for publication including labels and proposed names, but never pub- lished. The fauna represents only a very small and random part of the former community. But as in- formation on Frasnian bivalves is scarce, the few specimens add important information on the distri- bution and palaeogeographic occurrence of near-shore, that is, Rhenish Facies bivalves within the south Laurussian – Rheic Ocean Realm.
