Spectral properties of carbonatized ultramafic mantle xenoliths and their host olivine basalts, Jabal Al Maqtal basin, South Eastern Desert, Egypt, using ASD FieldSpec spectroradio... by Ahmed A. Madani

“…Field data revealed the presence of ultramafic mantle xenoliths at different stratigraphic levels within Jurassic olivine basalts. Ultramafic mantle xenoliths are recorded within highly altered olivine basalt topped by hard, compact brown conglomerate (erosional surface) of 1.5 m thick. …”

Geology, fluid inclusions, mineral and (S-O) isotope chemistry of the Badran orogenic Au deposit, Yana-Kolyma belt, eastern Siberia: implications for ore genesis by Valery Fridovsky, Sergey Kryazhev, Sergey Kryazhev, Lena Polufuntikova, Maxim Kudrin, Galina Anisimova

“…The δ34S values of pyrite and arsenopyrite vary from −1.1‰ to +2.4‰, with an average of +0.4‰; the δ18О of quartz from +15.1‰ to +17.5‰ at constant δ18ОH2O about +7.5‰ (±1.0‰). High contents of As (up to 2.4 wt%) and Co/Ni ∼ from 0.3 to 9.9 in pyrite of proximal alteration are typical for hydrothermal systems. …”

Depositional Sedimentary Facies, Stratigraphic Control, Paleoecological Constraints, and Paleogeographic Reconstruction of Late Permian Chhidru Formation (Western Salt Range, Pakis... by Syed Kamran Ali, Hammad Tariq Janjuhah, Syed Muzyan Shahzad, George Kontakiotis, Muhammad Hussain Saleem, Usman Khan, Stergios D. Zarkogiannis, Panayota Makri, Assimina Antonarakou

“…The sedimentary rocks found in this Gorge, belonging to the Chhidru Formation, were studied in terms of sedimentology and stratigraphy, and provide new insights into the basin paleogeographic evolution from the Precambrian to the Jurassic period. Facies analysis in the Chhidru Formation deposits allowed the recognition of three lithofacies (the limestone facies—CF1, the limestone with clay interbeds facies—CF2, and the sandy limestone facies—CF3) with five microfacies types (mudstone biomicrite—MF-1, wackestone-biomicrite—MF-2, wackestone-biosparite—MF-3, pack-stone-biomicrite—MF-4, and packstone-biosparite—MF-5), as well as their depositional characteristics. …”

Recycling of crustal materials and implications for lithospheric thinning: Evidence from Mesozoic volcanic rocks in the Hailar–Tamtsag Basin, NE China by Zheng Ji, Yan-Long Zhang, Chuan-Biao Wan, Wen-Chun Ge, Hao Yang, Yu Dong, Yan Jing

“…Late Mesozoic Nb-rich basaltic andesites and high-Mg adakitic volcanic rocks from the Hailar–Tamtsag Basin, northeast China, provide important insights into the recycling processes of crustal materials and their role in late Mesozoic lithospheric thinning. The Late Jurassic Nb-rich basaltic andesites (154 ± 4 Ma) are enriched in large-ion lithophile and light rare earth elements, slightly depleted in high-field-strength elements, and have high TiO2, P2O5, and Nb contents, and (Nb/Th)PM and Nb/U ratios, which together with the relatively depleted Sr–Nd–Hf isotopic compositions indicate a derivation from a mantle wedge metasomatized by hydrous melts from subducted oceanic crust. …”
