Abstract This research represents the most extensive characterisation of Roman mosaic tesserae (tiles) from Aquileia, Italy, to date, examining 153 specimens. The study aimed to identify the lithotypes used in mosaics production through a multi‐analytical approach, which included colorimetric analysis, polarised light microscopy and scanning electron ...

Accessory minerals: a provenancing tool for steatite quarries
Abstract Steatite has been a widely traded material across a range of archaeological contexts. Yet, challenges inherent to determining its provenance limits our understanding of the networks and mechanisms of its exchange. We present a robust new accessory mineral provenancing “fingerprint” method based their specific growth history.

pH Threshold Impacts Chalcopyrite Bioleaching Dynamics for the Extreme Thermoacidophile Sulfurisphaera ohwakuensis. [PDF]
Chalcopyrite bioleaching by the extreme thermoacidophile, Sulfurisphaera ohwakuensis. ABSTRACT The extremely thermoacidophilic archaeon Sulfurisphaera ohwakuensis served as the basis for probing how initial pH (pHinitial) affects copper mobilization from chalcopyrite. Screening of small‐scale cultures (75 mL) at 75°C revealed that ~pH 3.0 was a maximal

Key Points A stoichiometric calibration method for dual‐energy computed tomography allows non‐destructive characterisation of materials. Different acquisition settings and three different scanners were tested, characterising three rocks of known composition. Comparison of measurement results reveals the key parameters to be considered to perform useful

A Cautionary Tale About Not ‘Joining the Dots’ to Infer Anticlockwise P$$ P $$‐T$$ T $$ Paths
ABSTRACT Uncertainty surrounds the cause and interpretation of anticlockwise pressure‐temperature (P$$ P $$–T$$ T $$) paths in metamorphic terranes. Here, we focus on the viability of a commonly proposed mechanism—magmatic heat transfer during thickening—using a case study of the Roineabhal terrane in Scotland, where such an anticlockwise P$$ P $$–T ...

Phase Equilibria Analysis for Metacarbonate With Applications to Zoned Calc‐Silicate Aureoles
ABSTRACT Carbonate rocks react with infiltrating hydrothermal fluids to produce zoned calcsilicate assemblages in contact aureoles. Petrogenetic grids provide valuable insights into phase relations, metamorphic temperature (T) and the fluid composition (X) of the metacarbonate systems, as well as semi‐quantification of the prograde decarbonation at ...

CO-BEARING MINERALS IN ORES FROM THE MEDNORUDYANSKOE MALACHITE DEPOSIT (CENTRAL URALS) [PDF]
Cobaltite, Co-bearing pyrite, chalcopyrite and wad in ores from the Mednorudyanskoe deposit are characterized. Reserves of cobalt (about 3 000 t) were mainly concentrated in the Co-bearing hypogene minerals: pyrite and chalcopyrite with syngenetic ...
