Chlorine in sedimentary rocks

open access: yesGEOCHEMICAL JOURNAL, 1967
Concentrations of total, soluble and insoluble Cl were determined for various sedimentary rocks from differing localities and ages with a distillation method examined by the authors. Rock samples were investigated with an X-ray diffractometer and a microscope.

Research core drilling in the Manson impact structure, Iowa [PDF]

open access: yes
The Manson impact structure (MIS) has a diameter of 35 km and is the largest confirmed impact structure in the United States. The MIS has yielded a Ar-40/Ar-39 age of 65.7 Ma on microcline from its central peak, an age that is indistinguishable from the ...

Problems of the Metamorphic and Igneous Rocks of the Mojave Desert [PDF]

open access: yes, 1954
The Mojave Desert region, as defined by Baker (1911, pp. 335-336), is the region of desert plains, mountains, and valleys comprising the extreme southwestern portion of the Great Basin (fig. 1).

Experimental Study on Sedimentary Rock’s Dynamic Characteristics under Creep State Using a New Type of Testing Equipment

open access: yesAdvances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2017
Under high stress, rock in the creep state is vulnerable to external impact load, causing the irreversible perturbation deformation of rock or even sudden failure. To explore the dynamic characteristics of sedimentary rock in the creep state, a siltstone

Mars' Young Sedimentary Rocks: Early thinning, late persistence, diachronous boundaries, and a regional dichotomy [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
Mars' sedimentary rocks record Gyrs of environmental change. New data enable the first global analysis of paleo-environment relevant physical properties of these rocks, including layer thickness and accumulation rate. We find that layer thicknesses of post-3.5 Ga sedimentary rocks across the Martian surface show coherent variations at ~1000 km-scale ...

Quantitative Characterization of Permeability Fluctuations in Sandstone [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 1995
Sedimentary rocks have complicated permeability fluctuations arising from the geological processes that formed them. These permeability fluctuations significantly affect the flow of fluids through the rocks. We analyze data on two sandstone samples from different geological environments, and find that the permeability fluctuations display long-range ...

Growth and form of the mound in Gale Crater, Mars: Slope wind enhanced erosion and transport [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Ancient sediments provide archives of climate and habitability on Mars. Gale Crater, the landing site for the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL), hosts a 5-km-high sedimentary mound (Mount Sharp/Aeolis Mons). Hypotheses for mound formation include evaporitic,
