Coral Reef To Eolianite Transition In The Pleistocene Rocks Of Great Inagua, Bahamas, Brian White, H. Allen Curran

Geosciences: Faculty Publications

Great Inagua Island, the southernmost of the chain of Bahamian islands, lies approximately 100 km northeast of the eastern tip of Cuba. This paper reports the results of reconnaissance geologic field work conducted on Great Inagua Island in January, 1985, and of more detailed observations made in January, 1986, near Matthew Town, between South West Point and Devil's Point.


Coarsening Of Fine-Scale Exsolution Lamellae, John B. Brady Jan 1987

Coarsening Of Fine-Scale Exsolution Lamellae, John B. Brady

Geosciences: Faculty Publications

Diffusional exchange between the wedge-shaped terminations of fine-scale, coherent exsolution lamellae and the large flat sides of adjacent like lamellae is proposed as the principal mechanism for the coarsening of lamellar exsolution textures in silicate minerals. Following the methods of Gibbs (1906), a formula is derived for the chemical potential gradients due to interfacial energy effects that drive the proposed diffusion and coarsening....
