Composition of chromiferous spinel included in olivines of Mg-rich basalts and gabbros of the Deccan Traps (Gujarat and Western Ghats) are reported here. They vary from Al-rich compositions [Al₂O₃ = 53wt.%; Cr#, 100Cr/(Cr + Al) = 12] to Cr-rich compositions [Cr₂O₃ = 51wt.%; Cr# = 84], and from Cr-Al rich compositions towards Cr-rich Ti-magnetite (TiO₂ up to 23 wt.%, ulvöspinel up to 67mol.%). The Mg# [100Mg/(Mg + Fe²⁺)] of spinel decreases from 81 to nearly zero. The highest Cr# has been found in the Bushe Fm., Thakurvadi Fm., and some high-Ti basalts of the Pavagadh section, whereas some of the low-Ti basalts of Saurashtra have Al-rich compositions typical of spinels found in mid-ocean ridge basalts. The chemical composition of the Deccan Trap spinels is completely different compared to that observed in mantle spinel suites, with very few exceptions. The decreasing Al and increasing Fe and Ti of spinel seems to be mainly the result of decrease of Mg in the locally coexisting melts and favourable cationic substitutions in the lattice. There is barely any evidence of general relationships between the composition of the Deccan spinels and inferred mantle sources of the host magmas. Pyroxene inclusions in spinels may witness a high-pressure stage of crystallization, but the possibility of non-equilibrium crystallization, or even magma mixing, cannot be ruled out. Overall, the compositional ranges of chromiferous spinel in the Deccan Traps closely match those observed in the other Large Igneous Provinces having mafic/ultramafic intrusions and mafic magma compositions (e.g., Siberian Traps, Karoo, Emeishan).  相似文献   

Agricolaite, a new mineral of uranium from J��chymov, Czech Republic     

Roman Sk��la  Petr Ondru?  Franti?ek Veselovsky  Ivana C��sa?ov��  Jan Hlou?ek 《Mineralogy and Petrology》2011,103(1-4):169-175

The new mineral agricolaite, a potassium uranyl carbonate with ideal formula K₄(UO₂)(CO₃)₃, occurs in vugs of ankerite gangue in gneisses in the abandoned Giftkiesstollen adit at Jáchymov, Czech Republic. The name is after Georgius Agricola (1494?C1555), German scholar and scientist. Agricolaite occurs as isolated equant irregular translucent grains to 0.3?mm with yellow color, pale yellow streak, and vitreous luster. It is brittle with uneven fracture and displays neither cleavage nor parting. Agricolaite is non-fluorescent. Mohs hardness is ~4. It is associated with aragonite, brochantite, posnjakite, malachite, rutherfordine, and ??pseudo-voglite??. Experimental density is higher than 3.3?g.cm^?3, Dcalc is 3.531?g.?cm^?3. The mineral is monoclinic, space group C2/c, with a 10.2380(2), b 9.1930(2), c 12.2110(3) ?, ?? 95.108(2)°, V 1144.71(4) ?³, Z?=?4. The strongest lines in the powder X-ray diffraction pattern are d(I)(hkl): 6.061(55)(002), 5.087(57)(200), 3.740(100)(202), 3.393(43)(113), 2.281(52)(402). Average composition based on ten electron microprobe analyses corresponds to (in wt.%) UO₃ 48.53, K₂O 31.49, CO₂(calc) 22.04 which gives the empirical formula K_3.98(UO₂)_1.01(CO₃)_3.00. The crystal structure was solved from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data and refined to R ₁?=?0.0184 on the basis of the 1,308 unique reflections with F _o?>?4??F _o. The structure of agricolaite is identical to that of synthetic K₄(UO₂)(CO₃)₃ and consists of separate UO₂(CO₃)₃ groups organized into layers parallel to (100) and two crystallographically non-equivalent sites occupied by K⁺ cations. Both the mineral and its name were approved by the IMA-CNMNC.  相似文献   

The Main Ostrava Whetstone: composition, sedimentary processes, palaeogeography and geochronology of a major Mississippian volcaniclastic unit of the Upper Silesian Basin (Poland and Czech Republic)

The Main Ostrava Whetstone (MOW) is an important lithostratigraphic horizon of the Late Carboniferous sedimentary fill of the late Palaeozoic foreland Upper Silesian Basin. It is the largest and best-identified volcanogenic horizon in the basin, reaching thicknesses of 15.3 m and occupying an area of ca 2,973 km² and a volume after lithification of 9.24 km³. It consists of volcanic materials transported to the basin probably by an aeolian process. Just after sedimentation, these materials were redeposited a short distance away in a shallow water environment. Granularity corresponds to a range from argillaceous siltstones to fine-grained sandstones. The components are dominated by glass shards replaced by clay minerals (mixed illite–smectite structures) in addition to quartz of volcanogenic and terrigenous origins. Sanidine and a plagioclase close to albite are also present. The sedimentary structures, micro-structures and composition of the MOW indicate variable and dynamic hydrodynamic conditions. The MOW represents a series of flooding events, which could be connected with unusual rainfall. Such major flooding events were most likely induced by volcanic eruptions. The available drill-core log data were used to construct a digital model of the whetstone, which showed an east–west zonality in the thicknesses, with the majority being synsedimentary. CA-TIMS U–Pb dating the volcanogenic zircons yields an age of 327.35 ± 0.15 Ma. The source location of the volcanogenic material is not clear; however, it is presumed to have been located in the west of the Upper Silesian Basin.  相似文献   

Aridity in Vojvodina, Serbia   总被引：2，自引：1，他引：1  

Ivana Hrnjak  Tin Lukić  Milivoj B. Gavrilov  Slobodan B. Marković  Miroslava Unkašević  Ivana Tošić 《Theoretical and Applied Climatology》2014,115(1-2):323-332

For investigating aridity in Vojvodina, two parameters were used: the De Martonne aridity index and the Pinna combinative index. These indices were chosen as the most suitable for the analysis of climate in Vojvodina (a region in northern part of Serbia). Also, these indices were calculated from data obtained from 10 meteorological stations for the period from 1949 to 2006. The spatial distribution of the annual and seasonal De Martonne and the Pinna combinative indices as well as the mean monthly values of the De Martonne index and aridity trends of these indices are presented. There were two, four, and five types of climate on a yearly, seasonal, and monthly basis in Vojvodina, according to the De Martonne climate classification which consists of a total of seven types. In addition, semi-humid and humid climate types were represented in the region, on a yearly basis. The winter season was dominated by wetter types of climate, while the summer season was characterized by drier ones. During the spring and autumn seasons, there were types of climate which range between both aforementioned types. Two out of three climate types, which can be identified using the Pinna combinative index, were registered in Vojvodina region. The most dominant climate type was the semidry Mediterranean with formal Mediterranean vegetation, while the humid type was only identified in one small part of southwestern Vojvodina. The calculated values of both aridity indices showed that there were no annual trends. Therefore, it can be considered that there were no recent aridity changes during the observed period. For paleoclimate, the general story is more complex. The lack of aridity trends in the recent period from 1949 to 2006 supports the fact that Vojvodina has very well preserved loess–palaeosol sequences from the Middle and Late Pleistocene, which indicates that crucial point for their preservation was caused by the weak aridity variability in the region.  相似文献

The temporal variation of indoor pollutants in photocopying shop     

Jelena S. Kiurski  Ivana B. Oros  Vesna S. Kecic  Ilija M. Kovacevic  Snezana M. Aksentijevic 《Stochastic Environmental Research and Risk Assessment (SERRA)》2016,30(4):1289-1300

The paper includes the identification of the main factors responsible for the temporal variations of indoor pollutants during three daily intervals in a photocopying shop. The measurements of concentration levels of total volatile organic compounds, ozone, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, ammonia, perchloroethylene and non-methane hydrocarbons were performed. The individual concentrations of target pollutants were subjected to principal component analysis (PCA) using a software XLSTAT 2014.1.10. Pearson correlation model indicated the relatively weak correlation between the investigated pollutants in a photocopying environment. PCA extracted three principal components (PCs) from the indoor air pollution data set. Obtained PCs explained 56.72 % of the total variance. The summarized biplots showed which pollutants are responsible for photocopying indoor pollution per sampling day/sampling point/time interval/number of measurement. The results pointed out that the main PCs were related to the usage of toners, electrostatic discharge, heating of photocopiers as well as general intensifying of photocopying processes.  相似文献   

Downdraft effects in a shallow convection adjustment     

Ivana Nemešová 《Studia Geophysica et Geodaetica》1991,35(3):244-249

Summary The paper deals with the role of penetrative downdrafts in the convective adjustment suggested by Betts[1]. Three different types of downdraft sinking levels are used in the assessment of the reference profiles of temperature and humidity in cumulus cloud layers and these are compared with the profiles with no downdraft. It is shown that the depths of downdraft penetration may significantly influence the reference profiles mainly for clouds of vertical extents larger than one kilometre.  相似文献
