Petrological Evolution of the Upper Mantle Beneath the Southern Sanandaj-Sirjan Zone: Evidence from Kuhshah Peridotite Massif, Southeast Iran [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Sciences, Islamic Republic of Iran, 2014
The Kuhshah ultramafic complex is located in the south-east of Sanandaj-Sirjan metamorphic zone, near the probable remnants of Neotethys plate in Iran. It consists of highly depleted harzburgites, dunites, chromitite bands and altered gabbros.

Contrasting Textural and Chemical Signatures of Chromitites in the Mesoarchaean Ulamertoq Peridotite Body, Southern West Greenland

open access: yesGeosciences, 2018
Peridotites occur as lensoid bodies within the Mesoarchaean orthogneiss in the Akia terrane of Southern West Greenland. The Ulamertoq peridotite body is the largest of these peridotites hosted within the regional orthogneiss.

Mineral chemistry and chromite mineralization in the Qaranaz-Alamkandi area, west Zanjan

open access: yesJournal of Economic Geology, 2021
Introduction Malek Ghasemi and Karimzadeh Somarin (2005) reported that Chromite deposits in Iran occur in Paleozoic and Mesozoic ophiolite complexes in association with serpentinite and serpentinized peridotites and dunites (Ghazi et al., 2004; Shafaii ...

Compositional variations of chromite and solid inclusions in ophiolitic chromitites from the southeastern Turkey: Implications for chromitite genesis

open access: yesOre Geology Reviews, 2014
Abstract Chromitites, associated with upper mantle peridotites of ophiolites from southeastern Turkey, are lenticular bodies or veinlets made up of massive, banded and disseminated chromite. Chromite shows a wide range of Cr# [Cr/(Cr + Al)] varying between 0.42 and 0.81, and Mg# [Mg/(Mg + Fe2 +)] of 0.45 to 0.75.

RocMLMs: Predicting Rock Properties Through Machine Learning Models

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 1, Issue 4, December 2024.
Abstract Mineral phase transformations significantly alter the bulk density and elastic properties of mantle rocks and consequently have profound effects on mantle dynamics and seismic wave propagation. These changes in the physical properties of mantle rocks result from evolution in the equilibrium mineralogical composition, which can be predicted by ...

Theoretical petrology [PDF]

open access: yes, 1979
The central issues in petrology have remained remarkably unchanged in the last 50 years. In igneous petrology, the focus is on understanding the nature and cause of diversity in igneous rocks: on identifying primary magma types and constraints on the ...

Integration of ground geophysical methods to characterize near‐surface aquifer zones within an active mine

open access: yesNear Surface Geophysics, Volume 22, Issue 5, Page 521-538, October 2024.
Abstract Understanding near‐surface groundwater storage, flow patterns, surface and groundwater interactions in mining areas can assist in making mining more efficient and profitable. This is especially important in opencast mines affected by water inflows that may negatively affect production and increase mining costs. We map and characterize the near‐

Spectral Response of Few Important Textural Variants of Chromitite and its Potential in Estimating Relative Grades of Chromitite – A Case Study for Chromitite of Nuggihalli Schist Belt, India

open access: yesCurrent Science, 2018
We have collected, processed and analysed the reflectance spectra of representative chromitite samples of spot type, clot type and disseminated type textural variants to understand the diagnostic spectral features of each of these samples. We have found that the reflectance spectrum of each textural variant is distinct from the spectra of other ...
