Mg isotope fractionation during continental weathering and low temperature carbonation of ultramafic rocks

open access: yesGeochimica Et Cosmochimica Acta, 2019
The Mg-isotope systematics of peridotite weathering and low-temperature carbonation have not yet been thoroughly investigated, despite their potential to provide insights into reaction pathways and mechanisms of lithosphere-hydrosphere transfer of Mg and

The origin of ultramafic and ultrabasic rocks

Tectonophysics, 1969
Ultramafic rocks are classified in terms of their field associations and tectonic environment. Eleven associations are distinguished, some with subdivisions. The major features of each association are described in turn, and it is emphasized that the variety of field and petrographic associations indicates that a variety of processes is involved in the ...

Geotectonic significance of ultramafic rocks

Earth-Science Reviews, 1973
Abstract Ultramafic rocks can be divided into 5 principal geotectonic groups, as follows: (1) Layered gabbro-norite-peridotite masses, commonly associated with all ages of terrane, possibly connected with accretionary plate margins. (2) Concentrically zoned Alaska-type bodies, possibly associated with consuming plate margins. (3) Ultramafic lavas and

On the Origin of Ultramafic Rocks

Geological Society of America Bulletin, 1971
It is argued that most alpine ultramafic bodies originated as cumulates in basic magma chambers high in the crust. From some of these chambers, magmas were intruded upward or extruded, leaving sill-like ultramafites behind. These were subsequently folded or dismembered by faulting, and, because of their high density, subsided during tectonism, to form ...

Alkali content of alpine ultramafic rocks

Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, 1965
The lower limit of abundance of sodium and potassium in ultramafic rocks is less than the threshold amount detectable by conventional analytical methods. By a dilutionaddition modification of the flame-spectrophotometric method, sodium and potassium have been determined in 40 specimens of alpine ultramafic rocks.

Mineral Carbonation in Ultramafic and Basaltic Rocks

2016
Carbon capture and storage in the form of mineral carbonation in ultramafic and basaltic rocks offers a geologically stable repository of anthropogenic CO2. This chapter provides fundamental, theoretical and applied concepts relevant to mineral carbonation in peridotite, serpentinite and basaltic rocks.

Lunar Ultramafic Glasses, Chondrules and Rocks

Nature Physical Science, 1972
Analysis of all samples returned by lunar missions before Apollo 15 has shown green glasses of ultramafic composition in soil and microbreccia samples. Ultramafic glasses in Apollos 11 and 14 and Luna 16 samples are rare and similar to each other in composition but different from any of the rocks collected at these sites.

Metasomatic Alteration of Ultramafic Rocks

1989
Metasomatized ultramafic rocks from the 3800 Ma Isua supracrustal belt have been preferentially enriched in calcium, aluminium and silica, but show no or only little addition of potassium and rubidium. This unusual geochemical response to fluid infiltration can be explained in the light of a low buffered activity of aqueous silica during progressive ...
