In the Chernorud granulite zone in the Olkhon region of West Pribaikalie, we studied gabbro‐pyroxenites composing tectonic plates (Chernorud, Tonta) and synmetamorphic intrusive bodies (Ulan‐Khargana), as well as nu‐ merous disintegrated boudins and ...

Igneous and Metamorphic Petrology
So many new and exciting topics in petrology have appeared over the last several years that it has become difficult to find a text that deals adequately with fundamentals as well as current topics; the present book may be one of the better texts in its field today because it achieves this combination with clarity and appropriate emphasis.

Water pathways and ancient lakes: Flowing towards new models to unravel the past
Abstract Significant progress has been made in understanding lake basin evolution through climatic and tectonic changes using sedimentology, sequence stratigraphy, geochemistry, hydrology and watershed characteristics to interpret three main lake basin types: overfilled, balanced‐fill and underfilled, including fluvio‐lacustrine systems.

The composition of metapelitic biotite, white mica, and chlorite: a review with implications for solid-solution models [PDF]
Biotite, white mica, and chlorite record petrological processes and pressure–temperature conditions. Unfortunately, their crystal chemistry is complicated and thermodynamic modelling of their phase relations is hindered by this complexity.

In this paper, zircon SHRIMP U-Pb geochronology, petrology, mineral chemistry, petrogeochemistry, Sm-Nd and Lu-Hf isotopes were studied for the eastern part of the Dupangling pluton, which is located at the western section of Nanling at the junction of ...

Comparisons of Lower‐Middle Permian Shanxi and Lower Shihezi formations from the North Ordos Basin reveal that different types and percentages of volcanic detritus induced by active magmatic cycles can significantly change diagenetic evolution and favourable reservoirs.

Experimental metamorphic petrology
Since Bowen and Tuttle's pioneering study of the system MgO‐SiO2‐H2O in 1949, advances in experimental metamorphic petrology have occurred steadily rather than in “leaps and bounds”. The number and quality of papers published during the past quadrennium, 1975–1978, attests to the health of the science.

Early Pleistocene mixed arenites and their associated conglomerates and sandstones were studied in detail in Calabria, southern Italy. This study suggests that the studied palaeo‐strait was not necessarily a wider and similarly oriented expression of the modern Strait of Messina.

Introduction Three fundamental goals will be followed in the study of metamorphic terrains including: 1- study of fabric in metamorphic rocks in order to recognize the relationship between metamorphism and deformation, 2- the identification of ...

Carbonate sedimentology: An evolved discipline
Abstract Although admired and examined since antiquity, carbonate sediment and rock research really began with Charles Darwin who, during a discovery phase, studied, documented and interpreted their nature in the mid‐19th century. The modern discipline, however, really began after World War II and evolved in two distinct phases.
