From this it may be concluded that the olivine alkali basalts — the most frequent type of basalt in this region — had their origin in the partial melting of the mantle without further differentiation. From the sulfur isotope data we concluded that the primary isotope composition of the ...
olivine, amphibole and plagioclase feldspar, although low quantities of hornblende, biotite mica, magnetite and quartz are occasionally present. Gabbro, a mafic intrusive igneous rock which solidifies beneath the Earth's crust, has the same mineral composition as basalt. At high...
Lastly, coarse and broken fragments in breccia are mostly comprised of anorthositic rocks. What color is a lunar rock? Rocks retrieved from the Apollo missions are categorized into three: anorthosite, basalt, and breccia. Anorthosites are light-colored due to the abundance of calcium-rich ...

1. This paper presents new data of electronic microprobe analvses on clinopyroxenes from the layers of picrite and associated basalt in this area. It is shown that the clinopyroxenes from the picrite are exclusively diopside, whereas those from the basalt are diopside and augite, suggesting ...
The compositions of olivine, pyroxene and bulk-rock suggest that the Wangjiangshan intrusion was derived from subcontinental lithospheric mantle which was mainly composed of spinel lherzolite and metasomatized by subducted slab-derived fluids. The parental magma of the middle zone was tholeiitic basalt ...
The mineralogy of the oceanic basalt source region is examined by testing whether a peridotite mineralogy can yield observed whole-rock and olivine compositions from (1) the Hawaiian Islands, our type example of a mantle plume, and (2) the Siqueiros Transform, which provides primitive samples of...
These changes in the rock composition are consistent with independently determined changes in the thermal regime of the earth's history and with data on the growth of the continental crust's mass and thickness. 展开 关键词: Basalt Chemical Composition Earth Crust Granite Igneous Rocks Sedimentary ...
