01 Jan 1989TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a comprehensive introduction to metamorphic rocks and processes for undergraduate students of petrology, and provide a solid basis for advanced study and research, as well as enhanced features to facilitate course teaching.
Abstract: This second edition is fully updated to include new developments in the study of metamorphism as well as enhanced features to facilitate course teaching. It integrates a systematic account of the mineralogical changes accompanying metamorphism of the major rock types with discussion of the conditions and settings in which they formed. The use of textures to understand metamorphic history and links to rock deformation are also explored. Specific chapters are devoted to rates and timescales of metamorphism and to the tectonic settings in which metamorphic belts develop. These provide a strong connection to other parts of the geology curriculum. Key thermodynamic and chemical concepts are introduced through examples which demonstrate their application and relevance. Richly illustrated in colour and featuring end-of-chapter and online exercises, this textbook is a comprehensive introduction to metamorphic rocks and processes for undergraduate students of petrology, and provides a solid basis for advanced study and research.

TL;DR: The most important factors that govern compositional variations in hydrothermal magnetite are (A) temperature, (B) fluid composition, (C) oxygen and sulfur fugacity, (D) silicate and sulfide activity, (E) host rock buffering, (F) reequilibration processes, and (G) intrinsic crystallographic controls such as ionic radius and charge balance as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that anomalously high D(PGE-Au) values for the PGE-group elements (PGE)-Au partitioning of sulfide liquid and basaltic mixture can be minimized by degassing starting materials.

TL;DR: In this article, the primary oxide, reconstructed from compositions oftitanomagnetite in the oresand associated intergrowths, is an alumi-nous titanomagnetic oxides.
Abstract: Economicconcentrationsof Fe^Ti oxidesoccuras massive, conform-able lenses or layers in the lower part of the Panzhihua intrusion,Emeishan Large Igneous Province, SW China. Mineral chemistry,textures and QUILFequilibria indicate that oxides in rocks of theintrusion were subjected to extensive subsolidus re-equilibration andexsolution. The primary oxide, reconstructed from compositions oftitanomagnetite in the oresand associated intergrowths, isan alumi-nous titanomagnetite (Usp
