The thermal structure and chemical composition of the subcontinental lithospheric mantle beneath Alto Paranaíba Igneous Province defined by major trace element compositions garnet clinopyroxene xenocrysts peridotite xenoliths entrained in Cretaceous Três Ranchos kimberlite. Estimated temperatures pressures indicate a typical cratonic geotherm, with surface heat flow ∼40 mW/m2 slightly hotter than that at São Francisco Craton margin (35-36 mW/m2), suggesting lateral heterogeneities geothermal...
Archeological campaigns along the track of Domitian road in Cuma resulted recovery a large amount potshards and crucible fragments (both open closed forms), covered with residues blue green frits, respectively. Typological analysis crucibles combined mineralogical petrological analyses on ceramic body frit revealed that forms are intimately related to technological data. Newly formed calcium silicates indicate high firing treatments during pigment making (not lower than 950°C). In...
Abstract The Late Cretaceous Itatiaia complex is made up of nepheline syenite grading to peralkaline varieties, quartz and granite, emplaced in the metamorphic rocks Serra do Mar, SE Brazil. syenites are characterized by assemblages with alkali feldspar, nepheline, Fe-Ti oxides, clinopyroxene, amphibole, apatite titanite, while have F-disilicates (rinkite, wöhlerite, hiortdahlite, låvenite), britholite pyrophanite as accessory phases. silica-oversaturated plagioclase, quartz, clinopyroxene...
The Sung Valley alkaline complex is a relatively small intrusion of Lower Cretaceous age emplaced slightly before or during the India–Antarctica break-up. It consists ultramafic rocks (dunites, wehrlites, clinopyroxenites, uncompahgrites), mafic (ijolites sensu lato ), felsic (nepheline syenites) and carbonatites. chemical composition minerals indicates expected enrichment in iron toward rocks. On other hand, carbonatites feature very Mg-rich minerals, generally Cr-rich, indicating that...
Recent transportation infrastructure works in Naples, Italy, provided important discoveries related to the production of pottery Hellenistic workshop area Piazza Nicola Amore. A minero‐petrographic investigation was conducted on 35 samples belonging widespread Campana ware and indicators (clayey raw materials, unfired Graeco‐Italic amphorae, kiln wastes, tools). Additional analysis black‐glaze common for comparison. The analyses reveal compositional technological homogeneity ware. Samples...
The lavas of the Mt. Somma volcanic epoch were erupted during early stage Somma-Vesuvius complex. These are mildly differentiated with presence plagioclase-clinopyroxene-olivine- ± leucite-bearing (leucite tephrites, shoshonites, latites), also characterized by low in MgO, Cr and Ni, a Sr-Nd-isotope range (87Sr/86Sr = 0.706865–0.707861; 143Nd/144Nd 0.51244–0.51258) that overlaps those late Vesuvius after 1638 CE (late complex). Differentiation is dominated closed-system processes, fractional...
Laryngeal dysplasia is a common clinical concern. Despite major advancements, significant number of patients with this condition progress to invasive squamous cell carcinoma. Osteopontin (OPN) secreted glycoprotein, whose expression markedly elevated in several types cancers. We explored OPN as candidate biomarker for laryngeal dysplasia. To aim, we examined 82 cases and hyperplastic normal tissue samples. was all severe samples, but not respect matched mucosa. levels correlated positively...

Mineralogical and petrographical studies on 23 ancient pottery fragments of terra sigillata from Cales (today Calvi Risorta, Caserta) are here discussed. Stamps surfaces assigned the to other Italian workshops acting in Arezzo Northern Italy area between 1 st century B.C.-1 A.D., stamped have an uncertain provenance. The mineralogical features pastes been detected using optical microscopy, X-ray diffraction, fluorescence, DTA-DTG analyses. geochemical comparisons among ceramics, production...
Abstract The rocks of the Jasra intrusive complex (Shillong Plateau, northeastern India) include phlogopite clinopyroxenites (with olivine or perovskite relics), alkali gabbros/monzodiorites, syenites and nepheline syenites. They have a potassic affinity (Na 2 O/K O ∼1), their mineralogy is dominated by clinopyroxene with which phlogopite, olivine, amphibole, feldspars, feldspathoids, oxides, orthopyroxenes, perovskite, titanite other accessory phases are variably associated. cumulates...
During Early Miocene northwestern Sardinia was interested by widespread volcanic activity belonging to the calcalkaline high-K “orogenic” Sardinian cycle. The peak of activity is recorded in ~ 22-18 Ma time span and it mostly concentrated along Fossa Sarda graben, an Oligo-Miocene rift system cutting western from north south. The rocks crop out districts of Bosa-Alghero, Anglona, Logudoro, Mulargia-Macomer Ottana ranging composition rare high alumina basalt lavas rhyolitic ignimbrites...
The topic of this study is the archaeometric characterization mortars from Villa del Pezzolo, a Roman located in Seiano (Napoli-Campania, Italy), dated between 1st century B.C. and 3rd A.D. Mortars were analyzed by means multi-analytical approach (polarized optical microscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, scanning electron microscopy energy-dispersed spectrometry, thermal analyses mercury intrusion porosimetry) according to existing recommendations. Analytical results evidenced use local...
Roman mortars from a mausoleum (named D46b) belonging to the archaeological site of Porta Mediana necropolis, in Cuma (Naples, Southern Italy) have been studied by means petrographic, mineralogical and micro-chemical analyses. The aim this research is fill knowledge gap regarding mortar-based materials used age within wide site. Two typologies (bedding coating) were collected mausoleum's masonry. They lime-based with addition pozzolanic materials, according Vitruvius' recipe. Raw such as...
