Abstract: Abstract Physico-mechanical properties are critically important parameters for rocks. This study aims to examine some of the rock properties of quartz-mica schist (QMS) rocks in a cost-effective manner by establishing correlations between non-destructive and destructive… read more here.

Abstract: Garnet textures and chemistry identify ultrahigh-pressure metasedimentary rocks. Diamond and coesite are classic indicators of ultrahigh-pressure (UHP; ≥100-kilometer depth) metamorphism, but they readily recrystallize during exhumation. Crystallographically oriented pyroxene and amphibole exsolution lamellae in garnet… read more here.
