Conventional petrographic analysis suggests that basalts in Old Kingdom funerary temples are mineralogically and texturally similar to the Haddadin basalt flow of northern Egypt. To affirm that the Haddadin flow is the stone source, a total of 88 augite and 74 plagioclase electron microprobe analyse
The basaltic lavas erupted throughout the Mojave Desert are basanites (Si0~<46%, normative nepheline>5%, and K~0>1.5%), alkali-olivine bas~lts (Si0~46--48%; ne= 0--5% ; and K~O = 1.0--1.5%), and low-alumina, sub-alkaline basalts (SiO~ =48--51% ; ne ~ 0; K20< 1.0%). One volcano, Pisgah Crater, erupte
The recent discovery of a relatively small basaltic asteroid in the outer main belt with no apparent link to (4) Vesta raised several hypotheses on its origin. We present the results of a dynamical and mineralogical study of the region near (1459) Magnya intended to establish its origin. The dynamic
