The uses and properties of the mineral Dolomite. What is Dolomite? Dolomite is a common rock-forming mineral.It is a calcium magnesium carbonate with a chemical composition of CaMg(CO 3) 2.It is the primary component of the sedimentary rock known as dolostone and the metamorphic rock known as dolomitic marble.Limestone that contains some dolomite is known as dolomitic limestone.

Typically, primitive melts of this composition form lamprophyre, lamproite, kimberlite and sometimes nepheline-bearing mafic rocks such as alkali basalts and essexite gabbros or even carbonatite. Pegmatite may be produced by low degrees of partial melting of the crust.
Paragenetic types of carbonatite as indicated by the diversity and relative abundances of associated silicate rocks: Evidence from a global database.
Abstract 49 known extrusive carbonatite occurrences are listed with brief details of their tectonic setting, structure, lithologies, associated silicate rocks, chemistry and presence or absence of included mantle materials. Half the occurrences appear to be related to tephra cones, tuff rings, diatremes and maars and the rest occur within strato-volcanoes. Pyroclastic carbonatitic rocks are.
A magma consists mostly of liquid rock matter, but may contain crystals of various minerals, and may contain a gas phase that may be dissolved in the liquid or may be present as a separate gas phase. Magma can cool to form an igneous rock either on the surface of the Earth - in which case it produces a volcanic or extrusive igneous rock, or.
Resulting carbonatite composition is similar to average oceanic carbonatite (Hoernle et al., 2002). We generated a range of metasomatized mantle compositions by adding small amounts of incipient melts to the depleted MORB source ( Tables 7a, 7b, and 7c ).
An igneous rock containing more than 50% modal primary carbonate. A carbonate rock of apparent magmatic origin, generally associated with kimberlites and alkalic rocks. Carbonatites have been variously explained as derived from magmatic melt, solid flow, hydrothermal solution, and gaseous transfer. Classification of Carbonatite Hide.
What is a classification essay? This type of essay is an academic paper which classifies character, ideas, or even objects into specific categories or groups. This classification and division essay is quite common in high schools and colleges but can be present in other higher levels of education as well. How to write a classification essay.
Extrusive carbonatite is found at forty-six localities; these are characterized by the high proportion that contain mantle debris (xenoliths and xenocrysts) and the occurrence of melilite-bearing silicate rocks in more than one third of them.
It is a branch of Geology, which deals with the study of rocks, and includes: (a) Pedogenesis, i.e., origin and mode of occurrence as well as natural history of rocks. (b) Petrography, i.e., dealing with classification and description of rocks.
ASTER spectral analysis and lithologic mapping of the Khanneshin carbonatite volcano, Afghanistan John C. Mars.. certain lithologic groups and identifying pixels for use as reference spectra for subsequent spectral analysis and classification (Rowan et al., 2006).
