Collaborative Research: Petrogenesis of the Laramie Anorthosite Complex

这个正在进行的项目旨在确定 以及拉勒米斜长岩复合体（LAC）的衍生， 详细绘图、岩相学和矿物化学 样品、全岩的主量元素和微量元素以及Sr和 Nd同位素分析。专家们对铁- 钛氧化物沉积物与大多数斜长岩有关， 钛的储备。 这项研究应该有助于确定 的拉勒米套房，并应增加了解 类似的岩石出现在世界各地的几个地方。

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.
