Learn how to classify igneous rocks based on their texture, mineral composition, and origin. This chapter of Physical Geology - 2nd Edition explains the criteria and examples of different types of igneous rocks, such as basalt, granite, and rhyolite. It also explores the relationship between igneous rocks and plate tectonics.
Abstract. The purpose of this study was to assess the weathering of biotite under conditions simulating an active bioleaching environment. Finely ground biotite was contacted with Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans culture solutions for up to 120 days. Biotite was altered under these conditions to interstratified structures comprised of mixed layers …

The name biotite is derived from the Greek word "biotos", meaning "muscle", referring to its common occurrence in muscovite. Biotite is also known as "black mica" or "iron mica" because of its dark color. Biotite mica is typically found in medium- to coarse-grained igneous and metamorphic rocks, such as gneiss, schists, and granite.

Syenite is a coarse-grained, plutonic (intrusive) igneous rock that primarily consists of the minerals feldspar, typically orthoclase feldspar, and often includes smaller amounts of other minerals such as hornblende, mica, or amphibole.Unlike granite, which is another common intrusive igneous rock, syenite contains minimal to no quartz.The …
The intralaboratory standard GA1550 biotite was separated from a sample of mafic monzonite that forms part of the Dromedary igneous complex (Boesen and Joplin, 1972, Chappell and White, 1976, Smith et al., 1988), see Fig. 1.The monzonite is a nearly circular annular body about 1.2 km wide surrounding a central body consisting of …

A standard curve is used to accurately determine the concentration of your sample from the signal generated by an assay. The signal is never perfectly proportional to the sample concentration. A standard curve is designed to correct for these effects, so you know which concentration a given signal value corresponds to.
For fluence monitoring, a sample well-dated by the K/Ar method is required to be irradiated with the unknowns (McDougall and Harrison, 1999). The fact that GA1550 biotite had been well calibrated, with regard to its 40 Ar* content as well as its K content, and with an age of ~ 100 Ma, meant that it was a particularly appropriate fluence monitor ...
Ilmenite, biotite, and the bulk rock were measured for their Ti isotopic compositions, which are reported in Table 2. Sample digestion, Ti separation, and Ti isotopic analysis followed the method described in Greber et al.
