Rare earth, major and trace element composition of Leg 127 sediments Rare earth, major and trace element composition of Leg 127 sediments
The relative effects of paleoceanographic and paleogeographic variations, sediment lithology, and diagenetic processes on the final preserved chemistry of Japan Sea sediments are evaluated by investigating the rare earth element (REE), major element, and trace element concentrations in 59 squeeze-cake whole-round and 27 physical-property sample residues from Sites 794, 795, and 797...

Microcrack interaction leading to shear fracture Microcrack interaction leading to shear fracture
In this paper we draw upon recent laboratory results concerning the nucleation and growth of shear fractures in brittle rock. In homogeneous, crystalline rock such as granite, fault nucleation occurs rapidly and with only subtle changes in precursory microcrack patterns. Once nucleated, the fault grows rapidly, restricting microcrack damage to a small region near the advancing fracture...
