Petrogenesis and tectonic setting of Aftabru-Qlichkandi High-K metaluminous intrusive bodies (South of Buin-Zahra): Evidences from Nd-Sr isotopic Data by Hassan Gohari, Mohammad Hassan Karimpour, Hooshang Asadi Haroni, Seyyed Ahmad Mazaheri, Jose Francisco Santos, Tonny Bern Thomsen

“…The mentioned intrusive masses are located in the southwest region of Buin Zahra in Central Iran zone.Geology BackgroundUrmia-Dokhtar magmatic arc with Cenozoic intrusive and Eocene-Quaternary extrusive rocks shows different levels and rock outcrops in terms of time of origin and erosion rate, same what is seen in the subduction arc of the Andean continental margin. The lithospheric stresses caused by the interaction of the African-Eurasian-Indian lithosphere led to the emergence of Paleogene extensive magmatic activity and a magmatic flare-up lasting 30 Myrs during Eocene and Oligocene. …”

Mineral pigments at Huaca Tacaynamo (Chan Chan, Peru) by William E. Brooks, Víctor Piminchumo, Héctor Suárez, John C. Jackson, John P. McGeehin

“…X-ray diffraction analyses of five samples of pigments from a recently excavated mural at the archaeological site of Huaca Tacaynamo, a part of the Chan Chan archaeological complex, northern Peru, show that minerals related to metal occurrences known to have been exploited by ancient Andeans were also used as pigments. These minerals include: atacamite [Cu2Cl(OH3)] for green; azurite [Cu3(CO3)2(OH)2] for blue; calcite [CaCO3] for white; cinnabar [HgS] for red; and goethite [HFeO2] for yellow. …”
