Previous efforts to identify the control(s) on VM long-runout landslide morphology have been limited by the lack of constraints on the quantitative morphometry at high resolution on a regional scale and, with one exception focusing largely on a single landslide (Watkins et al., 2015), on mineralogical composition of VM landslides, their …
The influence of the geographical location on the mineralogical composition of both, road dust and soils are evident in Fig. 2. Clay forming minerals in soils such as albite, microcline, muscovite and chlorite content is higher in the inland suburbs compared to the coastal suburbs. The same characteristics can be observed for the soil samples.
Mineralogical features of two orebodies, lenses (C-3 and C-4), at the central part of the Oktyabr'sky deposit have been investigated. Multidirectional mineralogical zoning in the northern and southern orebodies is shown, confirming the hypothesis of their formation from various magmatic flows, which have individual features and their own modes of formation.
Dengfeng Coalfield represents a significant coalfield in Henan Province, North China. It is therefore essential to gain an understanding of the mineralogy and geochemistry of the Dengfeng coal, both from a geochemical perspective and in terms of the wider environmental context. In this study, a total of 27 coal bench samples were …
Igneous rock - Minerals, Magma, Crystals: The major mineralogical components of igneous rocks can be divided into two groups: felsic (from feldspar and silica) and mafic (from magnesium and ferrous iron). The felsic minerals include quartz, tridymite, cristobalite, feldspars (plagioclase and alkali feldspar), feldspathoids …

Mineralogical and chemical analyses confirm the archaeological inference that a large production of transport amphorae developed in Locri Epizephiri between the VI and the III century B.C. The chemical composition of a control group concerning the production of amphorae in Locri may be obtained from the analytical data presented …
The mineralogical composition of aerosol bulk samples was measured by X-ray powder diffraction. Major constituents of the aerosol are quartz, potassium feldspar, plagioclase, calcite, hematite and the clay minerals illite, kaolinite and chlorite. A small temporal variability of the bulk mineralogical composition was encountered.
Table 2 shows the mineralogical composition of the 10 selected samples after calcination and storage in sealed Eppendorf's tubes and plastic bags. It can be seen that the highest lime contents (CaO) are found in samples belonging to NHL2 and NHL3.5 groups, while different kinds of hydraulic phases predominate in samples of the NHL5 and Limit ...
