(Polish Academy of Sciences, 2011)During Middle Triassic times, the Peri-Tethys Basin bordered the north-western Tethys shelf and was connected to the open Tethys Ocean via three seaways. Today, lower Muschelkalk carbonates of this epeiric sea cover large ...
-
(Geological Society of South Africa, 2022-06)Uranium-lead dating of apatite was undertaken by Laser Ablation-Sector Field-Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (LA-SF-ICPMS) in situ on apatite from principal rock types of the Loolekop phoscorite-carbonatite ...
-
(Southern African Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, 2009-10)The characterization of platinum group minerals (PGMs) from concentrator flotation circuits provides valuable information towards understanding PGM recovery under given milling and flotation conditions. Additional ...
-
(MDPI, 2023-02)Sandbody distribution patterns and controls are the most important foundation for petroleum exploration and development, particularly in a lacustrine basin with rapid changes in the sedimentary environment. To provide ...
-
(Muséum d'histoire naturelle de la Ville de Genève, 2009-06)Brachiopods were affected strongly by the Early Toarcian mass extinction within the Northern Caucasus, which at that time was a large region on the northern margin of the Neo-Tethys Ocean. However, their decline preceded ...
-
(Geological Society of South Africa, 2008)A suite of high-ti mafic to felsic igneous rock (acronym:HITIS) was emplaced at -2055 Ma as km-sized bodies to the South of the Bushveld Complex, South Africa, stretching from Parys and Potchefstroom in the south-west to ...
-
(Elsevier, 2023-03)South Africa has the potential to be a global leader in implementing strategies targeting geochemical carbon dioxide removal (CDR) using mine tailings, utilising methods for alkalinity production and mineral carbonation. This ...
-
(Acoustical Society of America, 2017-03)Two traditional cosmetic clays bear similar names in different local South African languages: vumba (Tshivenda) and ubumba (isiZulu). The wet clays are applied topically for cosmetic purposes by the respective indigenous ...
-
(SpringerOpen, 2018-09)Coal contains a significant concentration of free radicals as a result of the coalification process. One of the experimental methods sensitive to the presence of radicals is electron spin resonance (ESR), and differences ...
-
(South African Chemical Institute, 2011)Corrosion of rebar in concrete is commonly associated with, and to a large degree influenced by, the free chloride concentration in the pore water. It is standard industry practice to add various mineral admixtures such ...
-
(Geological Society of South Africa, 2008)X-ray Fluorescence Spectroscopy (XRF) has reached the stage where it is classified as a mature analytical technique. The theoretical principles are well understood. In addition modern instrumentation demonstrates enhanced ...
-
(SpringerOpen, 2019-12)This study aims to compare iso-rank vitrinite-rich and inertinite-rich coal samples to understand the impact of coal-forming processes on pyrolysis chemistry. A medium rank C bituminous coal was density-fractionated to ...
-
(Geological Society of South Africa, 2015-12)Southern Africa is considered a stable continental region in spite of several reported medium size earthquakes, some of which caused considerable damage and casualties. The 1969 Ceres 6.3 magnitude earthquake is considered ...
-
(Geological Society of South Africa, 2008)Gold-rich alloys with variable amounts of Pd from the Merensky Reef, Bushveld Complex, are characterized by a range of finely dispersed inclusions. The small sizes of these inclusions (median of 1,85 µm) make fully ...
-
(Geological Society of South Africa, 1999)One hundred and forty five grains of laurite in polished sections of samples from one borehole through the major chromitite layers and some chromite-bearing silicate rocks of the Lower and Critical Zones of the western ...
