ABSTRACT In mineral exploration, reliable and comprehensive petrophysical groundwork helps evaluate the success rate of applying geophysical methods to the target and thus improves the quality of decision‐making related to geophysical surveys. Petrophysical data for potential field exploration can be efficiently collected from drill cores together with

The products of metasomatic alteration (e.g., carbonation) of peridotites are called listvenites. Based on a description of the outcrops in the laterite deposit at Cerro Matoso located in the NW of Colombia, the mineralogical composition confirmed by ...

Zircon survival in shallow asthenosphere and deep lithosphere [PDF]
Zircon is the most frequently used mineral for dating terrestrial and extraterrestrial rocks. However, the system of zircon in mafic/ultramafic melts has been rarely explored experimentally and most existing models based on the felsic, intermediate and/or synthetic systems are probably not applicable for prediction of zircon survival in terrestrial ...

Bengge alkaline igneous complex in Zhongdian, Western Yunnan has the variety of rock types, which is production after a complex magma—fluid process. The petrographical and mineralogical analysis of the host rock and its xenolith suggests that the igneous

Melt-Enhanced Rejuvenation of Lithospheric Mantle: Insights from the Colorado Plateau [PDF]
The stability of the lithospheric mantle beneath the ancient cratonic cores of continents is primarily a function of chemical modification during the process of melt extraction. Processes by which stable continental lithosphere may be destabilized are not well-understood, although destabilization by thickening and removal of negatively-buoyant ...

ONTOGENETIC APPROACH TO THE METASOMATISM THEORY [PDF]
Metasomatism is a phenomenon of substitution of some minerals by other minerals under simultaneous dissolution of early minerals and crystallization of late minerals.

Macroscopic, microscopic and geochemical studies carried out on albite-bearing metasomatites and metasomatic rhyolites hosting the magnetite-apatite deposit of Chogharat indicate the presence of three generations of albite with different concentrations ...

Mid‐lithosphere discontinuities are seismic interfaces likely located within the lithospheric mantle of stable cratons, which typically represent velocities decreasing with depth.
