摘要

在西班牙格拉纳达的加莱拉发现的梅尼洛石是一种引人入胜的植物状岩石,我们采用多学科方法,结合矿物学分析和先进的成像技术对其进行了研究。这些岩石的特征是含有蛋白石和白云石,其复杂的形态和多样的内部结构促使人们对其起源进行研究。通过使用微焦 X 射线衍射、扫描电子显微镜与能量色散 X 射线光谱以及 X 射线计算机断层扫描技术,我们对红云岩进行了详细研究,发现其主要成分为蛋白石-A、蛋白石-CT、白云石和石英。值得注意的是,内部的均匀性与外部形状的多样性形成了鲜明对比。所提出的假设表明,月光石的形成受到了地震的影响。地下水位以上多孔环境中的地震事件可能会引起流化,从而形成独特的红云岩结构。结核与周围岩石之间的渗透压差,再加上地震事件期间的流化,可以解释观察到的形态。验证提出的假设需要进一步的实地考察和模拟实验。这项研究为了解月锰矿的矿物组成、内部结构和潜在形成机制提供了宝贵的见解,为今后在沉积地质学和矿物学领域开展研究奠定了基础。

Mineralogical description and hypothesis on the formation of menilites from Galera, Granada (Spain)

Menilites, intriguing botryoidal rocks found in Galera, Granada, Spain, have been examined through a multidisciplinary approach integrating mineralogical analysis and advanced imaging techniques. Characterized as opal and dolomite-bearing rocks, their complex morphologies and diverse internal structures prompted an investigation into their origin. Employing microfocus X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and X-ray computed tomography, we present a detailed study of the menilites, revealing opal-A, opal-CT, dolomite and quartz as primary constituents. Notably, the internal homogeneity contrasts with the diverse external shapes. The proposed hypothesis suggests a seismic influence in menilite formation. Seismic events in porous environments above the water table may induce fluidization, resulting in the distinctive menilite structures. Osmotic pressure differences between nodules and the surrounding rock, coupled with fluidization during seismic events, could explain the observed morphologies. Validation of the proposed hypothesis requires further fieldwork and analogue experimentation. This study contributes valuable insights into the mineralogical composition, internal structures and potential formation mechanisms of menilites, laying the groundwork for future research in the field of sedimentary geology and mineralogy.

期刊介绍: Physics and Chemistry of Minerals is an international journal devoted to publishing articles and short communications of physical or chemical studies on minerals or solids related to minerals. The aim of the journal is to support competent interdisciplinary work in mineralogy and physics or chemistry. Particular emphasis is placed on applications of modern techniques or new theories and models to interpret atomic structures and physical or chemical properties of minerals. Some subjects of interest are: -Relationships between atomic structure and crystalline state (structures of various states, crystal energies, crystal growth, thermodynamic studies, phase transformations, solid solution, exsolution phenomena, etc.) -General solid state spectroscopy (ultraviolet, visible, infrared, Raman, ESCA, luminescence, X-ray, electron paramagnetic resonance, nuclear magnetic resonance, gamma ray resonance, etc.) -Experimental and theoretical analysis of chemical bonding in minerals (application of crystal field, molecular orbital, band theories, etc.) -Physical properties (magnetic, mechanical, electric, optical, thermodynamic, etc.) -Relations between thermal expansion, compressibility, elastic constants, and fundamental properties of atomic structure, particularly as applied to geophysical problems -Electron microscopy in support of physical and chemical studies -Computational methods in the study of the structure and properties of minerals -Mineral surfaces (experimental methods, structure and properties)
