Petrology Of The Nemeiben Lake Ultramafic And Associated Nickel-Sulphide Deposits, Anantaramam Peddada Jan 1972

Petrology Of The Nemeiben Lake Ultramafic And Associated Nickel-Sulphide Deposits, Anantaramam Peddada

Geology Theses and Dissertations

The Nemeiben Lake ultramafic body is located in the center of Saskatchewan, Canada, within the Churchill Province of the Canadian Shield. The ultramafic rocks consist of serpentinites, partly serpentinized and uralitized pyroxenite, and unaltered pyroxenite. Associated sulphide mineralization is of disseminated, net texture, and fracture filling types. The ore minerals present are pyrrhotite, pentlandite, chalcopyrite, pyrite, marcasite, violarite, bravoite and native copper. The sulphides are considered to be initially of magmatic origin formed from a sulphide melt separated at a late stage during crystallization of the ultramafic rocks. Subsequent serpentinization has locally redistributed the ores.

Origin Of The Mount Merino Chert And Shale, Middle Ordovician, Eastern New York State, Dorothy M. Lang Jan 1969

Origin Of The Mount Merino Chert And Shale, Middle Ordovician, Eastern New York State, Dorothy M. Lang

Geology Theses and Dissertations

Mount Merino Chert and Shale, Middle Ordovician, is one of the most siliceous units of the Taconic sequence (eastern New York and western Vermont); it is composed of interbedded shale, siliceous hale, argillite and chert. Non-clastic quartz — aggregates of quartz having a.mosaic or felted texture — predominates in all beds, except `shale. All siliceous beds are finely laminated; most laminae are distinguished from adjacent laminae by the texture of the quartz groundmass, and the amount of clastics, carbonates, chlorite and sulphides. Statistical comparison of the textures of the quartz aggregates which occur with the other mineral components suggests that …
