Prolonged sediment transport, especially on the tide-dominated inner shelf, in conjunction with inferred gradual subsidence optimized mechanical destruction of labile grains and rounding of quartz grains. Although the maturity of sediments in the Ortega Group can be accounted for, the mode of origin ...

The succession of supracrustal rocks form inliers bound by plutonic rocks intruded at 1.9–1.8 Ga76 and shear zones. Low-temperature euhedral druse mineral assemblages of clay minerals, pyrite, calcite, zeolites, and solid bitumen occur in late-stage cavities and veins of the reactivated ore ...
We highlight the process of ecological succession within young terrestrial volcanic environments from the viewpoint of microbial communities and discuss key processes related to the habitability of basaltic rocks from an astrobiology perspective. We use the phrase “young volcanic terrains” to describe e...

When combining SEM-CL with information from optical microscopy on the same quartz grains it is possible to distinguish between volcanic, deformed volcanic, plutonic, deformed plutonic and metamorphic/recrystallized quartz in sediment. The approach works best for grains in the coarse to medium sand ...
In particular, regional gravity and magnetic data aid in understanding the distribution of large Mesozoic and Cenozoic endogenic ore deposits (primarily epithermal and porphyry precious- and base-metal deposits and sediment-hosted gold deposits) in the western U.S. cordillera. For example, the ...
