Pyroxene mineralogies of near-Earth vestoids.
We have calculated pyroxene mineralogies of seven near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) with reflectance spectra similar to HEDs (howardites, eucrites, and diogenites). Two different sets of formulas (Gaffey et al. 2002; Burbine et al.

Newly found rock-forming minerals in the eastern part of the Slovak Ore Mountains, Western Carpathians, Slovakia [PDF]
This work focuses on first occurrences of more than 20 silicate minerals in the study area. In addition to amphiboles group (six minerals), pyroxenes (three minerals), different varieties of garnets and schist silicates and some Mn-rich minerals are ...

PETROGRAPHY AND MICROTEXTURAL CHARACTERISTICS OF GRANODIORITE FROM WASIMI, SOUTHWESTERN NIGERIA [PDF]
Rock samples of granodiorite from Wasimi were studied in detail to determine the minerals, mineral associations and the different micro-texture present in order to unravel the processes that were involved during the cooling of the magma.

Magnetic Anisotropy in Single Crystals: A Review
Empirical relationships between magnetic fabrics and deformation have long served as a fast and efficient way to interpret rock textures. Understanding the single crystal magnetic properties of all minerals that contribute to the magnetic anisotropy of a

Mineralogy and Petrology of an Olivine Diabase Sill Complex and Associated Unusually Potassic Granophyres, Sierra Ancha, Central Arizona [PDF]
The Precambrian Sierra Ancha sill complex, 700 to 800 feet thick, was intruded into flat-lying sedimentary rocks of the Apache Group in central Arizona. The bulk of the complex consists of a central layer of feldspathic olivine-rich diabase and upper and

Cosmogenic 3He exposure dating in mafic rocks by “Virtual mineral separation” of pyroxene [PDF]
We describe a “virtual mineral separation” method for measuring the cosmogenic 3He concentration in pyroxene in mafic rocks that consist mainly of plagioclase and pyroxene, without physically separating the minerals. This approach is significantly faster

Emergent 1/3 magnetization plateaus in pyroxene CoGeO_{3}
Despite the absence of an apparent triangular pattern in the crystal structure, we observe unusually well-pronounced 1/3 magnetization plateaus in the quasi-one-dimensional Ising spin chain compound CoGeO_{3} which belongs to the class of pyroxene ...
