Collaborative Research: Petrogenesis of the Laramie Anorthosite Complex

这个正在进行的项目旨在通过详细的测绘、选定样品的岩石学和矿物化学、一些整块岩石的主要和微量元素以及Sr和Nd同位素分析来确定Laramie斜长岩复合体（LAC）的性质、起源和来源。pi特别感兴趣的是与大多数斜长岩相关的铁钛氧化物矿床，这是钛的储量。这项研究将有助于确定拉勒米岩套的起源，并将增加对世界上几个地方出现的类似岩石的了解。

This ongoing project is designed to determine the nature, origin and derivation of the Laramie Anorthosite Complex (LAC) by detailed mapping, petrography and mineral chemistry of selected samples, major and trace elements of some whole rocks, and Sr and Nd isotopic analyses. The PIs are particularly interested in Fe- Ti oxide deposits associated with most anorthosites which are reserves of titanium. The study should help determine the origin of the Laramie suite, and should increase understanding of similar rocks that occur at several locations world-wide.
