Petrology of volcanic rocks of the Serra Sul mine, Carajás Province, Pará by Hélio Junior Lima Monteiro, Artur Corval, Débora Grala Roldão, Benevides Aires Filho, Luighi Santos Rinaldi, Letícia Martins, Gustavo Diniz Oliveira

“…Inserted in the metavolcanosedimentary sequence of the Grão Pará Group (Carajás Domain), the basalts and basalt andesites, the most abundant types of the Parauapebas and Igarapé Cigarra Formations, occur as successions of massive and amygdaloidal lava flows. The study of core samples from nine stratigraphic holes that intersected basaltic rocks of the two geological formations in body S11D (Serra Sul) showed that these rocks reach thick layers with different characteristics, ranging from aphanitic to phaneritic. …”

Archaeal Communities in Deep Terrestrial Subsurface Underneath the Deccan Traps, India by Avishek Dutta, Avishek Dutta, Pinaki Sar, Jayeeta Sarkar, Srimanti Dutta Gupta, Abhishek Gupta, Himadri Bose, Abhijit Mukherjee, Abhijit Mukherjee, Sukanta Roy, Sukanta Roy

“…Sulfur-oxidizing Sulfolobaceae was relatively more abundant in sulfate-rich amygdaloidal basalt and migmatitic gneiss samples. Methane-oxidizing ANME-3 populations were found to be ubiquitous, but their abundance varied greatly between the analyzed samples. …”

Territórios de distribuição da artéria coroídea anterior em hemisférios cerebrais humanos de brancos e negros The anterior choroidal artery territories in human cerebral hemisphere... by José Furlani

“…It could be demonstrated that the anterior choroidal artery arises always from the internal carotid artery and that its blood supply territories are the following: uncus, hippocampus, optic tract, choroid plexus of the inferior horn of the lateral ventricle and posterior limb of the internal capsule (100%); tail of the caudate nucleus (99% ± 0.99); intermediate 3/5 of the cranial portion of the cerebral peduncle base, amygdaloid nucleus and zona incerta (98% ± 1.40); lateral 1/5 of the cranial portion of the cerebral peduncle base (92% ± 2.71); anterior part of the lateral geniculate body (89% ± 3.13); medial segment of the globus pallidus (88% ± 3.25); subthalamic nucleus (39% ± 4.88); lateral nuclear group of the thalamus (26% ± 4.39); lateral segment of the globus pallidus (17% ±3.76); posterior nuclear group of the thalamus (13% ± 3.36); posterior part of the putamen (9% ± 2.86); medial 1/5 of the cranial portion of the cerebral peduncle base (7% ± 2.55) and substantia nigra (3% ± 1.71) No significant racial and sexual differences were found.…”

Lithological sequence, geochemistry and Sr, Nd and Pb isotopic data of Marshoun volcanic rocks, North Abhar (Tarom-Hashtjin subzone) by Farzad Asgari, Mir Ali Asghar Mokhtari, Hossein Kouhestani

“…Dacitic-rhyodacitic rocks have porphyritic, flow, and spherolitic textures, composed of plagioclase, quartz, alkali feldspar, and mafic minerals (amphibole and biotite) set in a quartz-felspathic groundmass whereas, andesitic rocks show porphyritic, glomeroporphyritic, and amygdaloidal textures, composed of plagioclase and mafic minerals (amphibole and some pyroxene) set in a fine-grained and occasionally microlithic groundmass.All samples under study on primitive mantle normalized spider diagrams, have similar patterns indicative of their genetic relations. …”
