Geochemistry and occurrence of selenium: An overview Geochemistry and occurrence of selenium: An overview
Selenium (Se) is both beneficial and toxic to animals, plants, and humans. Consequently, it is imperative to know its concentration in the environment and to understand the processes controlling its distribution. Determinations of Se concentrations in a variety of materials indicate that Se is widely distributed throughout the environment. The processes responsible for its distribution...

The Macon Complex; An ancient accretionary complex in the southern Appalachians The Macon Complex; An ancient accretionary complex in the southern Appalachians
The Macon Complex, which extends from eastern Alabama to northern North Carolina, is a late Precambrian–Middle Cambrian accretionary complex comparable in size to the Franciscan Complex of California and Oregon. Much of the complex is tectonic, sedimentary, and metamorphic chaos, properly termed mélange, where well-rounded to angular fragments, blocks, and slabs of contrasting...

Mélanges and olistostromes in the Appalachians of the United States and mainland Canada; An assessment Mélanges and olistostromes in the Appalachians of the United States and mainland Canada; An assessment
There is no completely accepted definition of a mélange, and the papers in this volume reflect this fact. In our regional assessment, the term mélange is principally used for a technically fragmented and mixed body of rock. A different term, olistostrome, is used for a chaotic and mixed rock body that formed by sedimentary processes such as slumping or gravity sliding. The term...
