Cu-Ag-Au Microspherules in Igneous Rocks: Morphology, Composition, Diagnostic Criteria and Possible Origin

Cu-Ag-Au Microspherules in Igneous Rocks: Morphology, Composition, Diagnostic Criteria and Possible Origin

Igneous rocks from the Russian Far East contain Cu-Ag-Au microspherules with distinct exterior and interior structures, compositions and assemblages of Cu-rich micro-inclusions. Natural microspherules are compared in this study with technogenic Cu-Ag-Au microspherules, which are experimentally produ...
