A magma with a high level of silica is viscous. What processes can form intermediate and felsic magmas from a melt that is originally mafic? When assimilation occurs, a magma gains country rock. It is ...

Focus: exploring mafic and ultramafic rocks on the Guerrero coastline for potential economic exploitation We are exploring the geodynamics of mafic and ultramafic rock complexes in southern Mexico and ...

The Flood Zone deposit is an anastomosing trend of gold and acicular arsenopyrite in quartz veins and silicified high-iron, high-titanium mafic volcanic rock which follows the trace of a steeply ...

Researchers used ab initio molecular dynamics simulations to identify how Ni and Co incorporate in forsterite (Mg 2 SiO 4), common in mafic and ultramafic rocks. The results show that, of the two ...

These projects include mechanistic studies of water/rock interactions, such as the hydration of mafic and ultramafic rocks, and the isolation and characterization of Fe, Mn, S and hydrogen cycling ...

Ultramafic/Mafic Rock Presence The basin hosts volcanic and intrusive rocks, including basalt and andesite, which are rich in iron and magnesium. These rocks are critical for serpentinization.
