Electron microprobe analysis of some minor- and accessory components in mesosiderites

Summary Analyses of chromite, ilmenite, whitlockite, farringtonite, schreibersite, and tridymite from four mesosiderite specimen were made using electron microprobe techniques. These minerals are chemically homogeneous with the exception of chromite, which exhibits slight zoning and grain to grain compositional variation in the same specimen. It can be assumed that schreibersite, troilite, and phosphates formed by solid state nucleation from -NiFe or solid state reactions between mixed metal and silicate fragments at temperatures of approximately 600–700°C during a stage of thermal metamorphism. Chromite was associated with the silicate fraction before metal and silicate fragments have mixed. It is shown that the results of this work are consistent with the theory of mesosiderite genesis evolved byPowell (1969, 1971).

Elektronenstrahlmikroanalyse einiger Nebenbestandteile und Akzessorien in Mesosideriten

Zusammenfassung In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird über Mikrosondenanalysen von Chromit, Ilmenit, Whitlockit, Farringtonit sowie Schreibersit und Troilit in vier Mesosideriten berichtet. Mit Ausnahme von Chromit, der leichten Zonarbau und geringe Unterschiede in der Zusammensetzung in derselben Probe zeigt, sind alle Minerale homogen. Für die Bildung von Schreibersit, Troilit und den Phosphaten können Ausscheidungsreaktionen im festen Zustand aus -NiFe oder Reaktionen — ebenfalls im festen Zustand — zwischen metallischen und silikatischen Fragmenten in einem Gemenge bei Temperaturen von etwa 600–700°C während einer thermischen Metamorphose angenommen werden. Chromit war schon vor der Mischung der silikatischen und metallischen Anteile mit dem Silikat assoziiert. Die Ergebnisse stehen mit einer bereits vorliegenden Theorie über die Entwicklung der Mesosiderite vonPowell (1969, 1971) in gutem Einklang.

Computer simulation of second order faults

SummaryComputer Simulation of Second Order Faults Faults of the second order can be simulated in the computer with an accuracy hitherto unknown, by using Malina's (1969, 1970) program version of the Finite Element Method. The computations show that stress rearrangements occur with shear movements along the principal fault and with propagation of the fault. These stress rearrangements contribute to the development of new secondary faults. The computed second order faults can be classified according to Chinnery (1966) as shear plane typesA, B, E, andF. Moreover, the computation shows two dominant shear planes which cannot be classified according to Chinnery.

ZusammenfassungSimulation von Störungen zweiter Ordnung im Computer Störungen zweiter Ordnung lassen sich mit einer bisher noch nicht gekannten Genauigkeit mit Hilfe einer von Malina (1969, 1970) entwickelten Programmversion der Finite-Element-Methode im Computer simulieren. Die Rechnungen zeigen, daß mit einer Scherbewegung entlang der Hauptstörung und dem Weiterreißen der Störung Spannungsumlagerungen einhergehen, die mitbewirken, daß neue sekundäre Störungen entstehen. Die ermittelten Störungen zweiter Ordnung lassen sich nach der Klassifikation von Chinnery (1966) als die ScherflächentypenA, B, E undF einordnen. Darüberhinaus liefert die Rechnung zwei sehr häufig auftretende Scherflächen, die sich nach Chinnery nicht klassifizieren lassen.

RésuméSimulation de failles de deuxième ordre par l'ordinateur Les failles de deuxième ordre peuvent être simulées avec une précision encore jamais atteinte grâce à l'utilisation d'une version d'une programme développé par Malina (1969, 1970) à partir de la méthode des éléments finis. Le calcul montre que, conjointement au cisaillement le long de la faille principale et à la propagation de cette faille, de nouvelles redistributions des contraintes apparaissent. Ces nouvelles redistributions contribuent essentiellement au développement de nouvelles surfaces de failles secondaires. Les failles de deuxième ordre peuvent être classées d'après Chinnery (1966) suivant les catégories de surfaces de cisaillementA, B, E, etF. De plus, le calcul indique fréquemment deux autres types de surfaces de cisaillement n'entrant pas dans la classification de Chinnery.

Aufgaben der Felsmechanik bei neuzeitlichen Tunnelrekonstruktionen

Zusammenfassung Aufgaben der Felsmechanik bei neuzeitlichen Tunnelrekonstruktionen. Für die neuzeitliche Tunnelbauweise müssen neue Erkundungsmethoden mit erweitertem Umfang felsmechanischer Prüfungen angewandt werden. Diese Forderung soll ebenso bei Rekonstruktionen erfüllt werden. Außer den mechanischen Eigenschaften werden auch die innere Spannung im Felsmassiv und in der Ausmauerung, die Mächtigkeit der gelockerten Zone sowie die Injektions- und Verankerungsmöglichkeit bestimmt.

Summary The Function of Rock Mechanics in Modern Tunnelling. For modern methods of tunnel driving it is necessary to apply new procedures of geological investigations including large-scale rock mechanics tests. This view holds equally for reconstruction projects. In addition to the mechanical properties of the rock masses it is necessary to determine the intrinsic stresses in the rock and in the tunnel lining, the thickness of the inelastic (relaxed) zone around the tunnel, as well as the possibility of grouting and anchoring.

Résumé Application de la mécanique des roches aux méthodes modernes de construction et de reconstruction des tunnels. Dans la technique moderne des tunnels il est nécessaire d'appliquer de nouvelles méthodes de reconnaissance comportant davantage d'essais de mécanique des roches. La même exigence est valable pour la reconstruction des tunnels. Outre les propriétés mécaniques du massif rocheux, on déterminera aussi les contraintes dans le rocher et dans le revêtement, l'épaisseur de la zone décomprimée et même les possibilités d'injection et de boulonnage.

Chemical compositions of Kilauea east-rift lava, 1968-1971

The major element chemical compositions of lava from four eruptionson the east rift zone of Kilauea between August 1968 and October1971 reflect three petrologic processes:

1. Production of chemically distinct batches of magma in the mantle.
2. Separation of olivine, augite, and plagioclase from liquidduringflow in the rift-zone conduits.
3. Mixing of differentmagmas during ascent to the surface.

Chemically none of the four Kilauea east-rift eruptions matchesthe preceding summit eruption in Halemaumau that ended in July1968. The Mauna Ulu eruption, May 1969 to October 1971 (thelast of flie east-rift eruptions), can be divided into fiveolivine-controlled and chemically distinct variants. Three ofthese characterize the first seven months of the eruption andare closest in composition to the 1967–8 Halemaumau eruption.Variants 4 and 5 were erupted later and have compositions thatare distinctly different from that of the 1967–8 eruption.Major differences are higher Al₂O₃ (0?15–0?23 per cent),and lower K₂O (0?07–0?10 per cent) and TiO₂ (0?12–0?23per cent) in variants 4 and 5 at the same MgO content. Somelavas from eruptions in August and October 1968 and February1969, have olivine-controlled magma compositions that are identicalto mixtures of Mauna Ulu variants 1–3 and the 1967–8composition. This observation fits an hypothesis advanced earlierby T. L. Wright and R. S. Fiske that magmas in the central magmachamber become mixed with magmas in the rift zone and can beidentified as mixing components of rift eruption magmas beforethey appear as distinctive magmas in summit eruptions. Lavas representing mixing of olivine-controlled magma with differentiatedmagma were erupted in October 1968, February 1969, and in Mayand December 1969. The changes in amount of K₂O and TiO₂ during the latter partof the 1969–71 Mauna Ulu eruption are the reverse of theoverall secular change in composition of Kilauea summit lavasfrom pre-1750 through 1967–8. The K₂O and TiO₂ contentsof the latest overflows during the 1969–71 Mauna Ulu eruption(April 1971) are comparable to that of lava erupted at Kilaueasummit prior to 1750. The changing chemistry of Kilauea magma is found to be of useas a ‘tracer’ in the complex Kilauea conduit system.Application of these data to older lava sequences is difficulbecause of the complexity of the processes controlling lavacomposition and the absence of detailed information about thetime-space chemical variation during individual eruptions.     

Movements and population structure of Atlantic menhaden indicated by tag returns

Over 968,000 adult Atlantic menhaden,Brevoortia tyrannus, were tagged from 1967 to 1969 and over 85,000 juvenile menhaden were tagged from 1969 to 1973. Recoveries of these tagged fish through 1975 provide direct evidence that Atlantic menhaden consist of a single population that over-winters in offshore waters off the southeastern coast of the United States, moves northward in spring and stratifies along the coast by age and size during summer, and moves southward in late autumn.
