ROCHE LACUSTRE [2 records]

Record 1 2006-11-02

English

Subject field(s)
  • Geochemistry
  • Petrography
CONT

Buckle folding and dewatering during early diagenesis resulted in pressure solution and diffusive mass transfer (40% shortening) that led to loss of silica and accumulation of sphalerite and garnet in striped cleavages.

PHR

Metamorphic dewatering.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Géochimie
  • Pétrographie
CONT

On distingue deux modes de consolidation [des roches]: par recristallisation ou déshydratation.

OBS

Il peut sembler assez bizarre qu'une roche se déshydrate en milieu marin ou lacustre, mais il ne faut pas oublier qu'il s’agit là de transformations d’ordre chimique. Les argiles peuvent alors se transformer en schistes, et ceux-ci en phyllades.

PHR

Déshydratation métamorphique.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Geoquímica
  • Petrografía
CONT

El segundo caso también se da, y suele ser consecuencia de la adición de volátiles a la roca (agua, CO2 ...) durante procesos geológicos concretos (sobre todo, la deshidratación de corteza durante la subducción).

Subject field(s)
  • Petrography
  • Hydrology and Hydrography
CONT

In the past decade, spectacular fossil discoveries in lacustrine rocks in northern China and central Spain ... and in fluvial rocks elsewhere ... have provided critical new evidence for the evolution of avian flight and perching and the origin of feather structure and arrangement.
