Estas De muestran distribuciones con una dispersión mayor a la esperada, obteniéndose porcentajes de sobre-dispersión elevados (OD>20%). Estos valores suelen asociarse al blanqueamiento incompleto de la señal OSL, debido al transporte de los granos de cuarzo en un medio turbio, debido una caga finos en supresión. No obstante, los gráficos y test de bondad de ajuste describen distribuciones normales, simétricas y centradas en la media. Tampoco indican evidencias de dos o más poblaciones de alícuotas conformadas por dos clases de granos de cuarzo agrupadas: (i) un grupo donde la señal de los granos ha sido bien blanqueada antes del último episodio de deposición y enterramiento y (ii) otro grupo que muestran señal heredada (residual). Sin embargo, los experimentos de Dose Recovery realizados indican que la dispersión se debe a factores extrínsecos y no intrínsecos al tipo de cuarzo estudiado. Por ello, se han analizado las concentraciones de radioisótopos en las muestras y la concentración de potasio en diferentes granulometrías, para estimar si el origen de la sobre-dispersión es la micro-dosimetria causada por el 40K del potasio, dada las bajas tasas de radiación y dosis anual medidas en las muestras. Los resultados obtenidos muestran que esta es la causa más probable de la dispersión, no encontrándose evidencias de blanqueamiento parcial.","PeriodicalId":35856,"journal":{"name":"Cadernos do Laboratorio Xeoloxico de Laxe","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77383139","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Two zoomorphic water-spouts carved in Colmenar de Oreja limestone, one in the shape of a dragon and another one in the shape of a bear, were installed in 1798. In 1895, the fountain changed of location, and two putti of Carrara marble were installed on the back of the fountain, expanding the rocky surface promontory on which the sculptural set stands. Two tiered basins made of granite were added in 1968, when the fountain acquired its current form.A geotouristic route was created based on Fuente de Cibeles and its main building stone, Montesclaros marble. An exhaustive description of the fountain was made, and its construction history was reviewed to elaborate the route.

Such dams were used for fishing purposes and are referred as fishing weirs. In a recently published work it has been demonstrated that a fluvial thick deposit was caused by a damming system in a river of NW Iberia (River Miño, Pontevedra). Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) provided the burial age of such fluvial deposit, showing a 1300-year-old fluvial record. The sedimentation rates of the record did not match with known climate fluctuations in the area. In this work, the sedimentation phases of such record are identified, and the detrital and organic matter content is studied to assess any change occurred in the environmental and fluvial conditions during the deposition period of the record that ranges from 814±134 to 1837±11 AD.","PeriodicalId":35856,"journal":{"name":"Cadernos do Laboratorio Xeoloxico de Laxe","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76179631","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An underlying Variscan granitic cupola is inferred from spotted slates and albitic microgranite dykes, the last including a thick modified albitic microgranite, enriched in F and Li, exposed some 500 m away, on the hill top. Inferred resources for shallowest deposit portion are 20.1 million tonnes (Mt) at 0.1-0.2% Sn, 0.2% Li and 0.1% (estimate) Rb, but the 650-m vertical-extent of the deposit suggests a resource of >200 Mt (with identical grades). The hydrothermal paragenetic sequence is amblygonite-montebrasite (mostly montebrasite) (Stage I)–quartz I-II–cassiterite (with columbite-tantalite inclusions)─arsenopyrite I─carbonate I-white mica I ─chlorite I–fluorite–apatite–rutile (Stage II)– white mica II–molybdenite– tourmaline– carbonate II-quartz III–arsenopyrite II–sphalerite–stannite–chalcopyrite–pyrite– pyrrhotite-chlorite II (Stage III)–covellite– vivianite–goethite/lepidocrocite (Stage IV). Amblygonite-montebrasite is the main Li carrier; Sn is evenly distributed between cassiterite and stannite; Rb is mostly in white mica (with 0.25-1.23 wt % Rb2O in the hill-top albitic microgranite). Primary aqueous, 1-3 um-wide fluid inclusions in the deposit in quartz I, carbonate I, apatite and cassiterite growth zones yield overall salinities and homogenisation temperatures of 7.2-19.1 wt % NaCl equiv. and 290-360ºC, respectively. The trace concentrations (electronic microprobe analysis) in quartz vein cassiterite reach 1.95 wt % Nb, 0.39 wt % Fe, 0.13 wt % Ti, and low/negligible values of Sb, Zn, As, Ag and Bi showing its granite-hydrothermal affiliation. Fe-poor and Fe-rich sphalerite (lower-intermediate and upper deposit parts) contain 1.0-1.6 and 7.9-9.4 wt % Fe, 64.3-66.0 and 55.9-57.2 wt % Zn, 0.4-0.5 and 0.9-1.1 wt % Cd, respectively. The sphalerite-stannite geothermometer yields temperatures of 245-297ºC. Following higher temperature amblygonite-montebrasite deposition (Stage I), hydrothermal fluids (aCl-=0.25 m), related to the hidden granitic cupola, at a mean pressure-corrected (50 MPa) temperature of 350ºC, were responsible for Stage II minerals deposition. Calculated cassiterite deposition from Sn chloride complexes occurred likewise, from probable magmatic-hydrothermal fluids, at fO2 = 10-34 -10-32 atm and pH=3.5-4. Cassiterite deposition mechanisms were oxidation, mixing, neutralisation, possible aCl- increase, and cooling. Later Fe-poor sphalerite (+kesterite/ferrokesterite) and Fe-rich sphalerite (+stannite) deposited at higher and lower fS2, respectively, the latter probably at a higher fO2 (Stage III). The uniqueness of Argemela system with abundant amblygonite-montebrasite in hydrothermal quartz tin veins may be related to an extreme fractionated F-, Li- and P-rich granitic magma.
