    THE AMERICAN MINERALOGIST, VOL 47, IVLY AUGUST, 1962 CORDIERITE-GARNET GNEISS AND ASSOCIATED MICRO- CLINE-RICH PEGMATITE AT STURBRIDGE, I,{ASSA- CHUSETTS AND UNION, CONNECTICUTI Fnor B.cnrBn, [/. S. GeologicalSurttey, Washington,D. C. Aesrnacr Gneiss of argillaceous composition at Sturbridge, Massachusetts, and at Union, Connecticut, 10 miles to the south, consists of the assemblagebiotite-cordierite-garnet- magnetite-microcline-quartz-plagioclase-sillimanite. The conclusion is made that this assemblagedoes not violate the phase rule. The cordierite contains 32 mole per cent of Fe- end member, the biotite is aluminous and its ratio MgO: (MgOf I'eO) is 0.54, and the gar- net is alm6e5 pyr26.agro2.espe1.2.Lenses of microcline-quartz pegmatite are intimately as- sociated with the gneissl some are concordant, others cut acrossthe foliation and banding of the gneiss. The pegmatites also contain small amounts of biotite, cordierite, garnet, graphite, plagioclase, and sillimanite; each mineral is similar in optical properties to the corresponding one in the gneiss. It is suggestedthat muscovite was a former constituent of the gneiss at a lower grade of metamorphism, and that it decomposedwith increasing metamorphism, and reacted with quartz to form siliimanite in situ and at lerst part of the microcline of the gneiss and pegmatites These rocks are compared with similar rocks of Fennoscandia and Canada. INtnouucrroN Cordierite-garnet-sillimanitegneisses that contain microcline-quartz pegmatiteare found in Sturbridge,Massachusetts, and Union, Connecti- cut. The locality (Fig. 1) at Sturbridgeis on the south sideof the \{assa- chusettsTurnpike at the overpassof the New Boston Road; this is about 1 mile west of the interchangeof Route 15 with the Turnpike.

    MINERALS SORTED BY NAME Here is an alphabetical list of minerals discussed on this site. More information on and photographs of these minerals in Kentucky is available in the book “Rocks and Minerals of Kentucky” (Anderson, 1994). APATITE Crystal system: hexagonal. Fracture: conchoidal. Color: red, brown, white. Hardness: 5.0. Luster: opaque or semitransparent. Specific gravity: 3.1. Apatite, also called cellophane, occurs in peridotites in eastern and western Kentucky. A microcrystalline variety of collophane found in northern Woodford County is dark reddish brown, porous, and occurs in phosphatic beds, lenses, and nodules in the Tanglewood Member of the Lexington Limestone. Some fossils in the Tanglewood Member are coated with phosphate. Beds are generally very thin, but occasionally several feet thick. The Woodford County phosphate beds were mined during the early 1900s near Wallace, Ky. BARITE Crystal system: orthorhombic. Cleavage: often in groups of platy or tabular crystals. Color: usually white, but may be light shades of blue, brown, yellow, or red. Hardness: 3.0 to 3.5. Streak: white. Luster: vitreous to pearly. Specific gravity: 4.5. Tenacity: brittle. Uses: in heavy muds in oil-well drilling, to increase brilliance in the glass-making industry, as filler for paper, cosmetics, textiles, linoleum, rubber goods, paints. Barite generally occurs in a white massive variety (often appearing earthy when weathered), although some clear to bluish, bladed barite crystals have been observed in several vein deposits in central Kentucky, and commonly occurs as a solid solution series with celestite where barium and strontium can substitute for each other. Various nodular zones have been observed in Silurian–Devonian rocks in east-central Kentucky.

  • Definition of Chalk
    1.1: Introduction: 1.1.1: Definition of chalk: Chalk is a soft, white, porous sedimentary carbonate rock, a form of limestone composed of the mineral calcite. Calcite is calcium carbonate or CaCO3. It forms under reasonably deep marine conditions from the gradual accumulation of minute calcite shells (coccoliths) shed from micro-organisms called coccolithophores. Flint (a type of chert unique to chalk) is very common as bands parallel to the bedding or as nodules embedded in chalk. It is probably derived from sponge spicules or other siliceous organisms as water is expelled upwards during compaction. Flint is often deposited around larger fossils such as Echinoidea which may be silicified (i.e. replaced molecule by molecule by flint). Chalk as seen in Cretaceous deposits of Western Europe is unusual among sedimentary limestone in the thickness of the beds. Most cliffs of chalk have very few obvious bedding planes unlike most thick sequences of limestone such as the Carboniferous Limestone or the Jurassic oolitic limestones. This presumably indicates very stable conditions over tens of millions of years. Figure (1-1): Calcium sulphate 1 "Nitzana Chalk curves" situated at Western Negev, Israel are chalk deposits formed at the Mesozoic era's Tethys Ocean Chalk has greater resistance to weathering and slumping than the clays with which it is usually associated, thus forming tall steep cliffs where chalk ridges meet the sea. Chalk hills, known as chalk downland, usually form where bands of chalk reach the surface at an angle, so forming a scarp slope. Because chalk is well jointed it can hold a large volume of ground water, providing a natural reservoir that releases water slowly through dry seasons.

  • Crystal Chemistry of the Monazite and Xenotime Structures Yuxxnnc Nr
    American Mineralogist, Volume 80, pages2I-26, 1995 Crystal chemistry of the monazite and xenotime structures YuxxnNc Nr, JonN M. Hucnns Department of Geology, Miami University, Oxford, Ohio 45056' U.S.A. ANrrrotvv N. M.q'nr,lNo 48 PageBrook Road, Carlisle, Massachusetts01741' U.S.A. Arsrnlcr Monazite and xenotime, the RE(PO,) dimorphs, are the most ubiquitous rare earth (RE) minerals, yet accuratestructure studiesof the natural phaseshave not been reported. Here we report the results of high-precision structure studies of both the natural phasesand the synthetic RE(PO4)phases for all individual stable rare earth elements. Monazite is monoclinic, P2r/n, and xenotime is isostructural with zircon (spacegroup 14r/amd)- Both atomic arrangementsare basedon [001] chains of intervening phosphate tetrahedra and RE polyhedra, with a REO, polyhedron in xenotime that accommodates the heavy lanthanides(Tb-Lu in the synthetic phases)and a REO, polyhedron in monazite that preferentially incorporatesthe larger light rare earth elements(Ia-Gd). As the struc- ture "transforms" from xenotime to monazite, the crystallographic properties are com- parable along the [001] chains, with structural adjustments to the different sizes of RE atoms occurring principally in (001). There are distinct similarities betweenthe structuresthat are evident when their atomic arrangementsare projected down [001]. In that projection, the chains exist i! (100) planes, with two planes per unit cell. In monazite the planes are offset by 2.2 A along [010], relative to those in xenotime, in order to accommodate the larger light RE atoms. The shift of the planes in monazite allows the RE atom in that phaseto bond to an additional 02' atom to complete the REO' polyhedron.

  • Clay Minerals Soils to Engineering Technology to Cat Litter
    Clay Minerals Soils to Engineering Technology to Cat Litter USC Mineralogy Geol 215a (Anderson) Clay Minerals Clay minerals likely are the most utilized minerals … not just as the soils that grow plants for foods and garment, but a great range of applications, including oil absorbants, iron casting, animal feeds, pottery, china, pharmaceuticals, drilling fluids, waste water treatment, food preparation, paint, and … yes, cat litter! Bentonite workings, WY Clay Minerals There are three main groups of clay minerals: Kaolinite - also includes dickite and nacrite; formed by the decomposition of orthoclase feldspar (e.g. in granite); kaolin is the principal constituent in china clay. Illite - also includes glauconite (a green clay sand) and are the commonest clay minerals; formed by the decomposition of some micas and feldspars; predominant in marine clays and shales. Smectites or montmorillonites - also includes bentonite and vermiculite; formed by the alteration of mafic igneous rocks rich in Ca and Mg; weak linkage by cations (e.g. Na+, Ca++) results in high swelling/shrinking potential Clay Minerals are Phyllosilicates All have layers of Si tetrahedra SEM view of clay and layers of Al, Fe, Mg octahedra, similar to gibbsite or brucite Clay Minerals The kaolinite clays are 1:1 phyllosilicates The montmorillonite and illite clays are 2:1 phyllosilicates 1:1 and 2:1 Clay Minerals Marine Clays Clays mostly form on land but are often transported to the oceans, covering vast regions. Kaolinite Al2Si2O5(OH)2 Kaolinite clays have long been used in the ceramic industry, especially in fine porcelains, because they can be easily molded, have a fine texture, and are white when fired.

Box 757220, 213 O’Neill Building, Fairbanks, AK 99775, USA Accepted 15 July 2005 Available online 27 December 2005 Abstract Lavas and volcaniclastic deposits were observed and collected from 4 submarine cones that are part of the Honolulu Volcanics on Oahu, Hawaii. The locations of these and a few additional, but unsampled, vents demonstrate that nearly all the vents are located on or very close to the shoreline of Oahu, with the most distal vent just 12 km offshore. The clastic samples and outcrops range from coarse breccias to cross-bedded ash deposits and show that explosive volcanism at depths between about 350 and 590 m depth played a part in forming these volcanic cones. The eruptive styles appear to be dominantly effusive to strombolian at greater depths, but apparently include violent phreatomagmatic explosive activity at the shallower sites along the submarine southwest extension of the Koko Rift.
