Sheeted dikes, gabbro, and pillow basalt in flysch of coastal southern Alaska
Russell G. Tysdal, J. E. Case, G. R. Winkler, S. H. B. Clark
1977, Geology (5) 377-383
A Paleocene to Eocene(?) mafic sequence of igneous rocks on Knight Island and a Cretaceous mafic and ultramafic sequence of the Resurrection Peninsula in coastal southern Alaska are characterized by pillow basalts, sheeted dikes, and gabbro intrusions. At both localities, pillow basalts are interbedded with flysch, and the gabbros intrude...
Mechanical twinning in diopside Ca(Mg,Fe)Si2O6: Structural mechanism and associated crystal defects
Stephen H. Kirby, J.M. Christie
1977, Physics and Chemistry of Minerals (1) 137-163
iopside twins mechanically on two planes, (100) and (001), and the associated macroscopic twinning strains are identical (Raleigh and Talbot, 1967). An analysis based on crystal structural arguments predicts that both twin mechanisms involve shearing of the (100) octahedral layers (containing Ca2+, Mg2+ and Fe2+ ions) by a magnitude of c/2. Small adjustments...
