RE-OS AND OXYGEN SYSTEMATICS OF VARIABLY ALTERED ULTRAMAFIC ROCKS, NORTH CAROLINA
(2020)
This study focuses on the origin and modification of six ultramafic bodies located in the Blue Ridge Province of North Carolina. The bodies consist mainly of harzburgites and dunites with associated chromites. Some of the ...
SULFUR ISOTOPE CHARACTERIZATION OF MANTLE RESERVOIRS SAMPLED BY OCEAN ISLAND BASALTS
(2020)
Ocean islands are volcanic islands in the middle of oceans that are formed when magma deep inside the Earth buoyantly rises to the surface and erupts as basaltic lava (termed Ocean Island Basalt, OIB). Geochemical ...
THE GEOCHEMICAL BEHAVIOR OF SCANDIUM DURING FRACTIONAL CRYSTALLIZATION AND IMPLICATIONS FOR ORE FORMATION
(2020)
Demand for scandium is increasing due to the use of scandium-aluminum alloys in the aerospace and sporting goods industries, and in solid-oxide fuel cells. Scandium deposits are associated with mafic intrusions and laterites, ...
INSIGHTS TO THE GENETICS, AGE AND CRYSTALLIZATION OF GROUP IC AND IIC IRON METEORITES
(2020)
Siderophile element isotopic compositions and abundances were determined for the IC and IIC iron meteorite groups to assess whether the members of each group can be related by crystal-liquid fractionation models, constrain ...
GENETICS, AGES, AND CHEMICAL COMPOSITIONS OF IRON METEORITES
(2020)
Comparison of genetic isotopic compositions of iron meteorites with metal-silicate segregation ages suggests that the isotopic composition of the NC reservoir changed with time. By contrast, no such age-linked changes in ...
Petrologic and geochronologic constraints on the thermal and structural evolution of paleo-subduction interfaces
(2020)
In subduction zones, the interface between the downgoing slab and overriding plate controls a number of important dynamic processes. Both the rheologic behavior and thermal structure of the interface influence fluid release ...
