Structural studies and gabbro mylonitization within the Barton Bay Deformation Zone, Geraldton, Ontario /
… llneation. The most highly deformed rock is a gabbro mylonite which occurs in the fault zone. The deformation of this gabbro has been traced in stages from a protomylonite to an ultramylonite In which feldspar and chlorite grainslze has been reduced from over 100 microns to as little as 5 …

The Sheeted Dyke-Gabbro Transition Zone: the Key to Unravelling the Palaeomagnetic Record of the Oman Ophiolite
… upper mantle peridotites, lower crustal gabbros, and upper crustal sheeted dykes and lava flows. Previous palaeomagnetic studies have suggested that the southern massifs of the ophiolite were affected by a large-scale remagnetization event during emplacement, which completely replaced …

Anorthositic sills of the southern Adirondack Mountains of New York state
… The Wells Sill consists of a medium-grained gabbro forming the top and basal layers, and an inner core of anorthositic gabbro rimmed by a fine-grained chill margin called the Tenantville facies. The Speculator Sheet consists of gabbroic anorthosite and has a mafic lower margin due to …

Plagioclase preferred orientation in layered mylonites : evaluation of flow laws for the lower crust
We evaluate the applicability of plagioclase and gabbro flow laws by comparing predicted and observed deformation mechanisms in gabbroic shear zones. Gabbros and layered gabbro mylonites were collected from the Southwest Indian Ridge (SWIR), ODP Hole 735B. Deformation temperatures are constrained …

Rock differentiation using microwave irradiation
… A considerable amount of barren waste rock, gabbro, is mined along with the diamond bearing kimberlite. No automated method exists for separating the kimberlite from the waste rock and a device was required to effect ore sorting on a rock by rock basis. Experimentation with a microwave oven …

Petrogenetic study of the Porcupine Lake mafic intrusive complex, Trinity terrane, northern California
… cumulate clinopyroxenite, and isotropic gabbro. East-west trending mafic-to-felsic aphanitic dikes intrude the plutonic rocks, with high dike concentrations (>80%) in the southern portion of the complex; Gabbro and mafic dikes display subduction-related enrichment of light-ion lithophile …

The petrology, geochemistry and structure of the plutonic rocks of the Oman ophiolite
… Plutonic Suites, (ii) the Late Trondhjemite-Gabbro Complexes, (iii) the Late Peridotite-Gabbro Complexes, and (iv) the Late Biotite Granites. The tectonite harzburgite of the Mantle Sequence represents the residuum formed during 177. partial melting of upward flowing fertile spinet lherzolite …

Ore sorting using microwave irradiation
… a diamond-bearing rock is separated from gabbro which is a waste rock. Work had been conducted previously in the Department of Electrical Engineering at the University of Cape Town to find a viable method for discriminating between gabbro and kimberlite. A technique using microwave …

Petrogenesis of the phase 1 gabbro-diorite of the Miocene Mt Perkins Pluton, northwest Arizona: Implications for the role of mantle-derived mafic magmas in calc-alkaline magma evolution
… rock of Precambrian orthogneiss. Phase 1 is a gabbro-diorite containing four rock groups: olivine-clinopyroxene cumulates, hornblende-plagioclase cumulates, homblende gabbro, and quartz diorite. Stage one of phases 2 and 3 evolved by a process of fractional crystallization of an asthenospheric …

Petrogenesis of the Moosehorn igneous complex, Maine
… assemblage of olivine norite, hypersthene gabbro, gabbro, biotite ± hornblende diorite, quartz diorite, and granodiorite. Compositional layering is present in many mafic bodies, and most commonly strikes northwest and dips gently to the southwest. The Moosehorn complex was intruded by the …

Geology of the Christmas and Rosillos Mountains, Brewster County, Texas
… and non-sodic rhyolite and trachyte, basalt, and gabbro. The Christmas Mountains are an elliptical dome of Devils River limestone probably underlain by a gabbro laccolith which uplifted the limestone about 4,000 feet. The sedimentary formations formerly overlying the Devils River limestone at the …
