This book was released on 1994 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Early Proterozoic Michigamme Formation of northern Michigan was deposited in the southeastern part of the Animikie basin. The formation conformably overlies the Goodrich Quartzite and comprises three widespread members a lower member of thin-bedded shale, siltstone, and sandstone; the Bijiki Iron-formation Member; and an upper member of tur- biditic graywacke, siltstone, and mudstone and a few local members. The Goodrich Quartzite is interpreted as having been deposited in a tidally influenced shallow marine environ- ment. The lower member of the Michigamme is interpreted as having been deposited in a tidally influenced environment, the iron-formation member as having been deposited below wave base in somewhat deeper water, and the upper member as having been deposited in still deeper water with turbidity currents being a major depositional mechanism. Several lines of evidence including paleocurrents, paleo- geographic setting, and neodymium isotopes suggest that the graywacke of the southern part of the outcrop area was derived from the south (Early Proterozoic Wisconsin magmatic terranes, Archean miniplates, and older Early Proterozoic sedimentary units formed on the continental margin), and that the graywacke in the northern area was derived from an Archean terrane to the north. The tectonic model that best fits the available data is a northward-migrating foreland basin.

Book Synopsis Sedimentology and Provenance of the Early Proterozoic Michigamme Formation and Goodrich Quartzite, Northern Michigan by : Paul Kibler Sims

This book was released on 1993 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paleomagnetic studies were conducted on the Early Proterozoic Sioux Quartzite, one of the so-called "Baraboo interval" red-bed sequences of the Lake Superior region. A total of 158 samples were collected from 17 sites scattered across four basins (Cottonwood County, New Ulm, northern Pipestone, and southern Pipestone) in southwestern Minnesota. Alternating-field and thermal demagnetization studies indicate that the magnetization is dominantly single component, and that the magnetic carrier is hematite. Hematite occurs both as a diagenetic mineral whose long paragenetic history began shortly after deposition and as veinlets that formed during a strain event possibly related to regional tilting. The magnetization is tentatively interpreted to have occurred before regional tilting, although a definitive fold test is difficult because dips are low. Measured paleomagnetic directions at both site and basin levels show good clustering, and the average directions obtained from each of the four basins are not significantly different at the 95 percent confidence level. The good clustering at all levels of sampling indicates that the Sioux Quartzite was magnetized either within a short time interval or during a period of subdued apparent polar wander. The structurally corrected paleomagnetic directions from the four basins yield a combined paleopole location at 1 01 ° W. and 16° N. (k=65, alpha 95=11 °). Dated paleopoles for Early Proterozoic rocks in North America and age dates of rocks interpreted to underlie the Sioux Quartzite imply that its age is 1,700-1,650 Ma. This interval corresponds in part with the age of 1,800-1,630 Ma of the Central Plains orogen, which lies some 200-300 kilometers south of the Sioux Quartzite out- crop. Quartzite may reflect a tectonic pulse related to the Central Plains orogen. Preliminary paleomagnetic data on Baraboo-interval quartzites from Wisconsin indicate that the Sioux paleopole cannot be distinguished at the 95 percent confidence level from that of the Barren Quartzite, but that it differs from that of the Baraboo Quartzite, which on the basis of existing apparent polar wander data could be as much as 100 million years older. The paleomagnetic data support previously raised cautions that some Baraboo interval quartz arenites may have been deposited in separate basins at significantly different times.

Download or read book Treatise on Geochemistry written by and published by Newnes. This book was released on 2013-10-19 with total page 14787 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This extensively updated new edition of the widely acclaimed Treatise on Geochemistry has increased its coverage beyond the wide range of geochemical subject areas in the first edition, with five new volumes which include: the history of the atmosphere, geochemistry of mineral deposits, archaeology and anthropology, organic geochemistry and analytical geochemistry. In addition, the original Volume 1 on "Meteorites, Comets, and Planets" was expanded into two separate volumes dealing with meteorites and planets, respectively. These additions increased the number of volumes in the Treatise from 9 to 15 with the index/appendices volume remaining as the last volume (Volume 16). Each of the original volumes was scrutinized by the appropriate volume editors, with respect to necessary revisions as well as additions and deletions. As a result, 27% were republished without major changes, 66% were revised and 126 new chapters were added. In a many-faceted field such as Geochemistry, explaining and understanding how one sub-field relates to another is key. Instructors will find the complete overviews with extensive cross-referencing useful additions to their course packs and students will benefit from the contextual organization of the subject matter Six new volumes added and 66% updated from 1st edition. The Editors of this work have taken every measure to include the many suggestions received from readers and ensure comprehensiveness of coverage and added value in this 2nd edition The esteemed Board of Volume Editors and Editors-in-Chief worked cohesively to ensure a uniform and consistent approach to the content, which is an amazing accomplishment for a 15-volume work (16 volumes including index volume)!
