Title A name given to the resource (TMJ) Quartz-rich Metamorphic Suite -- Tanzawa Mountains, Kanto, Japan Description An account of the resource The Tanzawa Mountains in Japan were created in an arc-arc collision, when the Izu-Bonin-Mariana Arc was subducted beneath the Honshu Arc. This eventually accreted into the Tanzawa Mountains. The samples in this collection were found in and around the Tanzawa Mountains. The suite includes hornfels, amphibolites, quartz diorite, granophyres, and other basaltic rocks. The samples range from fine to coarse grained. An interesting feature found on many of the samples was a flow-like swirl of minerals in the thin section, visible in XPL. The quartz diorite samples had crystalline, powdery substances on them, which were analyzed using a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The chemical compositions of the mentioned powdery substances were calcium, aluminum, silicon, and oxygen.

Title A name given to the resource (TMJ) Quartz-rich Metamorphic Suite -- Tanzawa Mountains, Kanto, Japan Description An account of the resource The Tanzawa Mountains in Japan were created in an arc-arc collision, when the Izu-Bonin-Mariana Arc was subducted beneath the Honshu Arc. This eventually accreted into the Tanzawa Mountains. The samples in this collection were found in and around the Tanzawa Mountains. The suite includes hornfels, amphibolites, quartz diorite, granophyres, and other basaltic rocks. The samples range from fine to coarse grained. An interesting feature found on many of the samples was a flow-like swirl of minerals in the thin section, visible in XPL. The quartz diorite samples had crystalline, powdery substances on them, which were analyzed using a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The chemical compositions of the mentioned powdery substances were calcium, aluminum, silicon, and oxygen.

Hornfels Description An account of the resource Rock Sample: The sample is fine-grained, and the majority of the rock is dark grey in color. There is a 2.5x4cm white crystal formation on the upper edge of the sample. There are fractures running through the sample. There is some chemical weathering found on the outside of the sample. The chemical weathering is rust-like in color, likely indicating an oxygen and iron reaction. The sample is densely spotted with hornfels. It has a smooth texture overall. Thin Section: There are some micro-fractures with clusters of plagioclase (1~5mm in diameter). There is a single euhedral garnet crystal that is enclosed in another mineral. There are some inter growths of the matrix within some of the larger plagioclase samples. -Cordierite (50%) -Plagioclase (40%) -Quartz (9%) -Other/matrix (<1%) -Magnification at 4x/0.10 Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1969 Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Western Minerals, Inc.

Title A name given to the resource (TMJ) Quartz-rich Metamorphic Suite -- Tanzawa Mountains, Kanto, Japan Description An account of the resource The Tanzawa Mountains in Japan were created in an arc-arc collision, when the Izu-Bonin-Mariana Arc was subducted beneath the Honshu Arc. This eventually accreted into the Tanzawa Mountains. The samples in this collection were found in and around the Tanzawa Mountains. The suite includes hornfels, amphibolites, quartz diorite, granophyres, and other basaltic rocks. The samples range from fine to coarse grained. An interesting feature found on many of the samples was a flow-like swirl of minerals in the thin section, visible in XPL. The quartz diorite samples had crystalline, powdery substances on them, which were analyzed using a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The chemical compositions of the mentioned powdery substances were calcium, aluminum, silicon, and oxygen.

It has phaneritic grains with a aphanetic matrix. Phenocrysts are coarse to fined grained ranging from 0.1~1cm in size. There is a chalk like powder on the outside of the sample (white). There are deep fractures running to the center of the sample. It is likely that the sample underwent chemical weathering by oxidation. The chemical weathering is evident due to the orange brown tint. Overall the sample has a smooth weathered outside with rough gritty inside. Thin Section: Minerals are either medium in size. All the minerals seem to have intergrown in the quartz crystals. -Quartz (50%) -Plagioclase (20%) -Biotite (15%) -Hornblende (15%) -Magnification at 4x/0.10 Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1969 Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Western Minerals, Inc.

Title A name given to the resource (TMJ) Quartz-rich Metamorphic Suite -- Tanzawa Mountains, Kanto, Japan Description An account of the resource The Tanzawa Mountains in Japan were created in an arc-arc collision, when the Izu-Bonin-Mariana Arc was subducted beneath the Honshu Arc. This eventually accreted into the Tanzawa Mountains. The samples in this collection were found in and around the Tanzawa Mountains. The suite includes hornfels, amphibolites, quartz diorite, granophyres, and other basaltic rocks. The samples range from fine to coarse grained. An interesting feature found on many of the samples was a flow-like swirl of minerals in the thin section, visible in XPL. The quartz diorite samples had crystalline, powdery substances on them, which were analyzed using a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The chemical compositions of the mentioned powdery substances were calcium, aluminum, silicon, and oxygen.

Plagioclase - Quartz - Diorite Description An account of the resource Rock Sample: The samples color has a white matrix with dark green phenocrysts. It is phaneritic. There is evidence of chemical weathering due to the presence of a dark brownish orange film on the sample--may be oxidation. There is a sandy smooth feeling film above the TMJ-6 tag. Phenocrysts are medium to coarse grained ranging from 0.1~1cm in length. It has a rough feel overall. Thin Section: There is tartan twinning on some irregular-shaped plagioclase. It is a large crystal with intergrowths and many micro-tartan twinning crystal within it. Many of the irregular shaped plagioclase have many fractures or scratches in them. There is some amphibole that intergrew into some augite. -Quartz (30%) -Augite (25%) -Amphibole (25%) -Plagioclase (20%) -Magnification at 4x/0.10 Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1969 Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Western Minerals, Inc.
