A re-examination of hydrothermal alteration and Fe-Ti oxide relationships in the Skaergaard Layered Mafic Intrusion, East Greenland
Cummings, Tiffany Lynn (East Carolina University, 2018-05-01)Fractionation between Fe isotopes in igneous systems and hydrothermally-altered rocks is small but significant, and detailed petrographic understanding of rocks is needed to discern the origin of such fractionations. One ... -
EXAMINING THE IRON ISOTOPE GEOCHEMISTRY OF OLIVINE IN THE SKAERGAARD LAYERED MAFIC INTRUSION, EAST GREENLAND
Murrie, Allison Renae (East Carolina University, 2018-07-24)Despite reports of significant fractionation of iron isotopes occurring under magmatic and hydrothermal conditions, the mechanisms that cause and control fractionation in magmatic systems remain poorly understood. Previous ... -
Geochemistry and Genesis of Late Paleoproterozoic Banded Iron Formations and Metamorphosed Chemical Precipitates Spatially Associated with Pb-Zn Broken Hill-type Mineralization near the Broken Hill Deposit, Curnamona Province, Australia
Serna, Erica (East Carolina University, 2014)Banded and massive iron formations (IFs) and garnet- and gahnite-quartz rocks are spatially associated with the giant, late Paleoproterozoic, Pb-Zn-Ag Broken Hill sulfide deposit and hundreds of minor Broken Hill-type ... -
IRON ISOTOPE GEOCHEMISTRY OF BULK ROCKS AND Fe-Ti OXIDES FROM THE SKAERGAARD LAYERED MAFIC INTRUSION, SE GREENLAND
Hammerstrom, Alex Joseph (East Carolina University, 2019-07-23)Small, but significant fractionation of Fe isotopes occurs in high-temperature igneous rocks. Despite increasing study, the exact causes of this fractionation are still debated. Therefore, a systematic study of a complete ... -
MAJOR AND TRACE ELEMENT CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF GAHNITE FROM GRANITIC PEGMATITES AND A METAMORPHOSED MASSIVE SULFIDE DEPOSIT : SIGNIFICANCE FOR PEGMATITE FRACTIONATION AND DISCRIMINATION BETWEEN Li-RICH AND Li-POOR PEGMATITES
Yonts, Jason Anthony (East Carolina University, 2014)Rare-element granitic pegmatites are common hosts to economic deposits of rare metals, including Li, Ta, and rare-earth elements, which are increasing in economic importance due to advancing technology. Gahnite (ZnAl₂O₄) ... -
Mineralogy, Geochemistry, and Genesis of the Valentines Iron Formation, Nico Pérez Terrane, Eastern Uruguay, and Significance for the Redox Conditions of Early Earth's Oceans
Lancaster, Heather N. (East Carolina University, 2015)The Valentines Iron Formation of eastern Uruguay is one of three well-defined rock units that comprise the Valentines Formation, and is commonly interlayered with felsic and intermediate granulites. The iron formations ... -
Non-pegmatitic beryl related to Carboniferous granitic magmatism, Velasco Range, Pampean Province, NW Argentina
Sardi, Fernando; Heimann, Adriana; Grosse, Pablo (2016)The specialized leuco-monzogranite of the La Chinchilla Stock is a small Carboniferous stock located in the center of the Velasco Range, Pampean Province, La Rioja, Argentina. It is highly evolved and locally F- and ... -
THE COMPOSITION OF GARNET IN GRANITIC PEGMATITES AS A PROXY FOR MELT EVOLUTION AND RARE METAL POTENTIAL
Mitchell, Nicholas Joseph (East Carolina University, 2017-12-07)Granitic pegmatites have been and continue to be important economic deposits of rare-metals, including Li, Ta, and rare-earth elements in addition to industrial minerals. Garnet from granitic pegmatites of the LCT, NYF, ... -
The iron isotope composition of pyroxene from the Skaergaard layered mafic intrusion, East Greenland
Pertunen, Brett Anthony (East Carolina University, 2018-08-30)Iron isotopes show small fractionations in igneous rocks emplaced at high temperature, but the processes by which these fractionations originate are still debated. The Skaergaard layered mafic intrusion of East Greenland ...
