The type location for aragonite is Molina de Aragón (Guadalajara, Spain), 25 km outside Aragon. It exists naturally in the shells of chiton and other mollusks. The fossil shells of some extinct ...

Petrography relies on microscopes to identify and describe constituents of concrete. It also relies cement knowledge and concrete technology. In the last 60 years, petrographic examination as an ...

Petrography is used in some capacity in a many research groups within the Earth Sciences department, as a tool for phase analysis, textural analysis, and quantitative analysis. This section explores ...

Participants will be trained on the versatile, affordable technique of thin section ceramic petrography, starting with the principles of polarising light microscopy, optical mineralogy, geological ...

Papers of the Symposium on Petrography Applied to Concrete and Concrete Aggregates, held June 26, 1989 in St. Louis, MO, and sponsored by ASTM Committee C-9 on Concrete and Concrete Aggregates and its ...

Similar to the aragonite rims, the cores of the tubular carbonates yield low Al 2 O 3 and Fe 2 O 3 contents (Al 2 O 3: 2.05% to 3.41%, average = 2.85%; Fe 2 O 3: 0.76% to 1.61%, average = 1.32%). The ...

Aragonite, a metastable crystalline polymorph of CaCO 3, is the main component of nacre, occupying ∼95% of the total volume.As a representative natural material, nacre exhibits excellent penetration ...
