Why Did Red Ereño Limestone Go Red? Linking Scientific Knowledge and Geoheritage Story-Telling (Basque Country, Spain)
(Springer, 2023-09)
Red Ereño is a red-stained ornamental and construction limestone with characteristic white fossil shells. Although exploited since Roman times, marketed worldwide and that the rock itself and its outcrop areas have been ...
Editorial for the Special Issue “Petrology and Mineralogy of Pegmatite Deposits”
(MDPI, 2023-06-15)
This Special Issue of Minerals, section Mineral Deposits, on the topic of “Petrology and Mineralogy of Pegmatite Deposits”, was inspired by the currently growing scientific and economic interest in pegmatites. Pegmatites ...
Metasomatic effect of Li-bearing aplite-pegmatites on psammitic and pelitic metasediments: Geochemical constraints on critical raw material exploration at the Fregeneda-Almendra Pegmatite Field (Spain and Portugal)
(Elsevier, 2022-11)
Fluid-assisted mass transfer and re-equilibration of mineral phases are common consequences of metasomatism associated with igneous intrusions. The addition and/or removal of chemical components in these environments may ...
Compositional Variations in Apatite and Petrogenetic Significance: Examples from Peraluminous Granites and Related Pegmatites and Hydrothermal Veins from the Central Iberian Zone (Spain and Portugal)
(MDPI, 2022-11-01)
Apatite can be used as an archive of processes occurring during the evolution of granitic magmas and as a pegmatite exploration tool. With this aim, a detailed compositional study of apatite was performed on different ...
Calibrating a Handheld LIBS for Li Exploration in the Barroso–Alvão Aplite-Pegmatite Field, Northern Portugal: Textural Precautions and Procedures When Analyzing Spodumene and Petalite
(MDPI, 2023-03-26)
In pegmatites containing abundant petalite and spodumene, such as those from the Barroso–Alvão (BA) aplite-pegmatite field, calibrating a portable laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (pLIBS) equipment to identify and ...
The Li-Bearing Pegmatites from the Pampean Pegmatite Province, Argentina: Metallogenesis and Resources
(MDPI, 2022)
The Li-bearing pegmatites of the Pampean Pegmatite Province (PPP) occur in a rare-element pegmatite belt developed mainly in the Lower Paleozoic age on the southwestern margin of Gondwana. The pegmatites show Li, Rb, Nb ≤ ...
The magmatism of Atienza (NW Iberian Chain, Spain): age, origin and architecture of the magmatic plumbing system
(Springer, 2023-03)
A sill covering an area of more than 15 km2, several dykes up to 5 m thick and a volcanoclastic deposit crop out with similar petrology in the sector of Atienza (NW Iberian Chain, Spain). They consist of calc-alkaline ...
Rockfall susceptibility analysis through 3D simulations in marine protected areas of the Portofino coastline: case studies of San Fruttuoso and Paraggi bays
(Springer, 2023-04)
The research focuses on the assessment of the potential geomorphological hazards affecting the stability of the Promontory of Portofino (Regional Natural Park of Portofino, Northern Italy), mainly on the bays of San Fruttuoso ...
Polyphase tectonic reworking of serpentinites and chlorite-tremolite-talc rocks (SW Spain) from the subduction forearc to intracontinental emplacement
(Wiley, 2023-05)
The petrostructural and geochronological study of a poorly known ultramafic unit from SW Spain (Badajoz–Córdoba belt) combined with previous structural data permits disclosure of a history of metasomatism, tectono-metamorphism, ...
Provenance Analysis of the Ojén Nappe and Its Implication for the Geodynamic History (Alpujárride Complex, Betic Cordilleras, Spain)
(MDPI, 2023-04-18)
The Ojén nappe, an allochthonous unit that underlies the Ronda peridotites (Betic Cordilleras), is composed of Triassic marbles overlying a metapelitic sequence. In order to carry out an LA-ICP-MS U-Pb age determination ...
