Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1978, an international consortium of scientists from Canada, Denmark, the United Kingdom, Iceland, the United States, and West Germany successfully completed a research deep drilling project in Iceland. These scientists formed the International Crustal Research Drilling Group to organize further deep drilling investigations and to compare the results with those from the Deep Sea and Ocean Drilling Projects. From 1982-85, five holes were drilled at three sites in Cyprus to study the Troodos ophiolite. The drilling was part of an integrated petrological, structural, and geophysical study of the ophiolite, involving both field mapping and diamond drilling. This report is the third of three on the project, discussing holes drilled through the pillow lava succession and giving descriptions of the cores along with other geological, geophysical, and geochemical data.

Book excerpt: A 2 km drill hole was planned as part of the Cyprus crustal study project to sample the lower part of the Troodos ophiolite. The hole was spudded in near the base of the sheeted dyke complex to determine the intrusive and compositional relationships within the dyke complex; the nature of the dyke gabbro transition; the age relationships of the spatially associated dykes, gabbros, and plagiogranites, the chemical and mineralogical variation within the plutonic section and hence whether the intrusives are a single magnetic sequence or a number of discrete plutons; and the nature and extent of hydrothermal alteration within the dykes and gabbros. It was anticipated that the drilling results, combined with field studies of the plutonic rocks and sheeted dykes, would provide a 3-dimensional model for the lower part of the ophiolite. This report details studies of the core material and the field relationships.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because they are portions of the ancient oceanic lithosphere, ophiolites present a full stratigraphy of the oceanic crust and part of the earth's upper mantle. The Cyprus Crustal Study Project to investigate the Troodos ophiolite was approved in 1980 and was conceived as an integrated petrological, structural and geophysical study, involving both field mapping and diamond drilling. From 1980-82, field studies were started and drilling begun, continuing until March 1985 at three sites, at which 5 holes were drilled. This report presents a series of papers, with abstracts, on various aspects of the Project, including field relations, lithological description, petrography and mineralogy, geochemistry, paleomagnetic and rock magnetic properties, physical properties and other geophysical data, and a summary, data tables and core log description.

Download or read book Active Margins and Marginal Basins of the Western Pacific written by Brian Taylor and published by American Geophysical Union. This book was released on 1995-01-09 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Geophysical Monograph Series, Volume 88. This volume focuses on the volcanic, fluid, sedimentary, and tectonic processes occurring in the trencharc-backarc systems of the western Pacific—a natural regional focus for studies of these themes. The results of ocean drilling and associated site surveys in the western Pacific have brought fundamental changes to our understanding of volcanism, crustal deformation, fluid circulation, and sedimentation in active margins and marginal basins. Our goal here is to synthesize the results of ocean drilling in a multi-disciplinary manner, including a comparison of the findings from drilling legs having similar themes, and to emphasize the significance of these results to the broader geoscience community.

This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The geology and metallogeny of "base metal sulfide deposits" in Europe, Africa and Australia was the topic of the DMG-GDMB-SAG Joint Meeting held in Aachen (FRG), September 16-19, 1985. Divided into two parts, the presented papers cover the description and interpretation of sediment-hosted as well as volcanic-sediment-hosted and volcanic-hosted copper-zinc-lead (gold-silver) deposits. The present compilation is an overview of current research activities and results on copper-zinc-lead deposits in classical mining districts considering geological, lithological, geochemical and tectonic parameters of ore formation. Even in periods of depressed metal prices, "base metal sulfide deposits" still remain one of the most attractive mineral exploration targets. This extensive review provides valuable information to researchers and explorationists.

Download or read book Regional Metamorphism of Ore Deposits and Genetic Implications written by Paul G. Spry and published by VSP. This book was released on 1990-12 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The unifying theme to the papers in this volume is that they deal with economic accumulations of sulfide minerals which, together with their host rocks, have been affected to varying degrees by regional metamorphism. The principle sulfide deposit types discussed are stratabound ZnCuPbAgBa deposits in regionally metamorphosed terranes which occur in a diverse variety of host lithologies. In addition other interesting deposit types are discussed and examples are presented from various parts of the world. The topics treated in this volume are: the interaction of sulfide minerals with their host rocks during regional metamorphism; the quantitative interpretation of P-T-time histories of regional metamorphism in which both sulfide and silicate phase relations must be considered together in order to meaningfully interpret the metamorphic history; the question of how to identify progenitors of rocks modified by tectonic and metamorphic processes and the implications of these studies; developing future exploration strategies for massive sulfide deposits in meatmorphic terranes.
