Fenites of the Miaskite–Carbonatite Complex in the Vishnevye Mountains, Southern Urals, Russia: Origin of the Metasomatic Zoning and Thermodynamic Simulations of the Processes Petrology (IF 1.391) Pub Date : 2020-05-31 S. S. Abramov; I. T. Rass; N. N. Kononkova
AbstractMineral zoning in fenites around miaskite intrusions of the Vishnevye Mountains complex can be interpreted as a magmatic-replacement zonal metasomatic aureole (in D.S. Korzhinskii’s understanding): the metasomatic transformations of the fenitized gneisses under the effect of deep alkaline fluid eventually resulted in the derivation of nepheline syenite eutectic melt.

An effective method for identifying the tectonic-magmatic causes of metamorphism is the reconstruction and analysis of P–T–t paths, which can be used to develop a model of rock evolution with time in the “pressure–temperature–time” coordinates. This approach is most widely used in interpreting the development of orogens with a polycyclic history, where different types of metamorphism are combined in

The Relationship of the Relative Abundance of Masses of Granites and Rhyolites in the Earth’s Crust with the Patterns of the Rheology of the Granitic Magmas Petrology (IF 1.391) Pub Date : 2019-09-17 E. S. Persikov
AbstractMany years ago, V. S. Sobolev suggested that the reason for the relative prevalence of intrusive and effusive rock masses in the earth’s crust lies in the patterns of viscosity of water-bearing magmas in a variable field of temperatures and pressures. Alas, in those years it was not possible to solve this problem on a quantitative physical-chemical basis, since experimental and theoretical

AbstractThis paper investigates the Jigede gabbros from the Shalazhashan tectonic belt, Alxa Block. Laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) zircon U-Pb dating reveals that they were emplaced in the Middle Permian (ca. 262 Ma). All the gabbro samples collected from the intrusion exhibit low contents of TiO2 (0.24–0.37 wt %) and \({\text{F}}{{{\text{e}}}_{{\text{2}}}}
