Zack Spratt\u27s Butcher\u27s Cookbook - Accession 678 - M301 (352)
No full textThe Butcher’s Cookbook consists of a leather bound notebook containing instructions on preserving and curing meat, and recipes for various meat dishes from around the 1910s. The name A.D. Payne is on the front cover and is the author of the book. Zack Spratt collected cookbooks, many of which are housed in the Winthrop Library, and speculated that “these notes were taken by someone [A. D. Payne] working in a packing plant.” Zack Spratt is most likely Zaccheus Spratt (1884-1978) and was a relative of the Fort Mill, SC Spratt Family.https://digitalcommons.winthrop.edu/manuscriptcollection_findingaids/1652/thumbnail.jp
Cs-Rb-Ba systematics in phengite and amphibole: an assessment of fluid mobility at 2.0 GPa in eclogites from Trescolmen, Central Alps
No full textEclogites from Trescolmen that contain abundant hydrous minerals (phengite, amphibole, paragonite, zoisite, talc, apatite) show petrographic evidence for fluid infiltration under conditions of 2.0 to 1.8 GPa, 650 degreesC. Large ion lithophile elements (LILE, e.g. Cs, Rb, Ba and Sr) were analysed by in-situ techniques in all eclogite mineral phases in order to characterize the behaviour of fluid-mobile elements at high pressure. In-situ analysis of carefully-chosen metamorphic assemblages circumvents the problem of partial late-stage alteration, which can severely influence the calculated element budgets of whole-rock samples. Phengite is the dominant host for Cs, Rb, and Ba in both eclogite and adjacent garnet mica schist samples, and incorporates > 90% of the budgets of these elements in whole rocks. LILE contents of phengites in phengite-rich rocks are likely to record the Cs/Rb and Ba/Rb ratios of their host rock protoliths. The LILE patterns of eclogite are consistent with protoliths derived from basalt that underwent seafloor alteration, whereas those of mica schist are almost identical to average upper continental crust. In contrast, LILE patterns of eclogite samples that lack phengite, but do contain amphibole, are unlike any plausible protolith, but are identical to those of amphibole in phengite-bearing samples. This observation points to homogenization of the LILE in different lithologies, which we correlate with petrographic evidence for fluid infiltration. Because phengite in garnet mica schist has a strong capacity to buffer the fluid with respect to Cs, Rb, and Ba, homogenization of amphiboles is best explained by fluid infiltration from the surrounding metapelites into eclogite bodies, implying at least metre-scale fluid mobility. The amphibole homogenization can be most easily modelled by a pervasive open-system fluid flux through the eclogites, possibly facilitated by ductile deformation during the early stages of uplift. Simple calculations give minimum fluid-rock ratios of similar to0.001 to 0.004. Demonstration of the mobility of very small volumes of fluid through eclogite is an important prerequisite of many subduction zone models that try to explain across-are variations in trace element geochemistry. The low fluid-rock ratios from this study are not in contrast with oxygen isotope heterogeneities reported from other eclogite localities. Fluid mobile elements such as Cs, Rb and Ba are more sensitive indicators of small volume, fluid-rock interaction and are therefore potentially valuable for understanding fluid infiltration processes in systems where oxygen isotope shifts are not large enough to be detectable

Myth, man and history. The films of Zack Snyder
No full textThe onset of the new Justice League films, beginning with Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice in 2016 gives me great pause due to my opinions of their director, Zack Snyder. He is a director that certainly seems to inspire controversy over his adaptations of sacred geek properties and a garish visual style that could be considered off-putting. 1 Yet while others could point to both good and bad attributes, my main reservations stem from the underlying ways that he tells his stories and their effect on audiences.

Trace element abundances in rutiles from eclogites and associated garnet mica schists
No full textWe present electron microprobe and laser ablation microprobe (LAM) data for a range of high field strength (Zr, Nb, Me, Sri, Sb, Hf, Ta, W) and other trace elements (Al, Si, Ca, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Pb, Th, U) in rutile from eclogites and garnet mica schists, from Trescolmen. Central Alps. Most analysed rutiles are homogeneous (at least for Nb, Cr, W, Zr, V and Fe), both on a single grain scale and between grains from a single thin section. Concentrations of V, Zr, Nb, Sb and W determined by both electron and laser ablation microprobe techniques yield similar results and confirm the reliability of the analytical methods within estimated precision. Measurements of trace element contents of coexisting phases in eclogites and their modal abundances show that rutile is the dominant carrier ( > 90% of whole rock content) for Ti, Nb, Sb, Ta and W as well as an important carrier (5-45% of the whole rock content) for V, Cr, Me and Sri. The crystallographic implications are that, for relatively rigid crystal sites such as in rutile, trace elements with a similar ionic radius are preferred over trace elements with the same charge but deviating size. Our results demonstrate the utility of rutile chemistry in the following applications: (1) By using a combination of the measured TiO2 content of the whole rock and the trace element concentration of rutile, precise whole rock data on elements that are either difficult to analyze by conventional techniques such as XRF or solution ICP-MS (Nb, Sb, Ta, W) or may be susceptible to late stage alteration (Sb) can be estimated. (2) Trace element contents of detrital rutile grains are a potentially powerful toot for sedimentary provenance studies since they reflect key element ratios (e.g,, Nb/TiO2 and Cr/TiO2) of their source rocks. In addition, measurements of trace elements in detrital rutiles might help distinguish possible source rocks, e.g., high-grade metamorphic rocks such as eclogites and high-pressure granulites from hydrothermal ore deposits and kimberlites. In view of the dominance of rutile in the Sb budget of subducting oceanic crust, and the enrichment of Sb in the slab component of subduction zones. additional experimental studies on Sb-partitioning between rutile and fluid are needed in order to understand the behaviour of Sb in subduction zones.

Abstract: (Maximum 250-words)
This project seeks to address the broad question of what happens to settler political movements after decolonization and the dismantling of settler colonial systems by examining the impact of decolonization on the French settler movement in the decades after Algerian independence. In particular the project examines the political culture of present-day pied noir communities in France, including their modes of identity and participation, party affiliation, activism, and organized influence on the French political system in recent decades. Other research has looked at the formation of the pied noir identity, their penchant for nostalgia of the colonial past and their political movements following the decolonization of Algeria (Jordi; Eldridge; Zack). To investigate current political culture of the pied noir, 8 surveys and interviews were administered among identified pied noir in Marseille, France. Findings contradict previous research in that 100% reported not being involved in politics, 62.5% did not want or were neutral about the pied noir story being remembered, 66.7% reported no involvement in their community or religious practices, and 75% of respondents reported no cultural differences compared to the French. This study, though limited by its sample size, highlights the need for further research on post-colonial experiences of cultural assimilation, social isolation, political participation, and memory
Temperature dependence of Zr in rutile: empirical calibration of a rutile thermometer
No full textRutile is an important carrier of high field strength elements (HFSE; Zr, Nb, Mo, Sn, Sb, Hf, Ta, W). Its Zr content is buffered in systems with quartz and zircon as coexisting phases. The effects of temperature ( T) and pressure ( P) on the Zr content in rutile have been empirically calibrated in this study by analysing rutile - quartz - zircon assemblages of 31 metamorphic rocks spanning a T range from 430 to 1,100 degreesC. Electron microprobe measurements show that Zr concentrations in rutile vary from 30 to 8,400 ppm across this temperature interval, correlating closely with metamorphic grade. The following thermometer has been formulated based on the maximum Zr contents of rutile included in garnet and pyroxene: T (in degreesC) = 127.8 x ln (Zr in ppm) - 10 No pressure dependence was observed. An uncertainty in absolute T of +/- 50 degreesC is inherited from T estimates of the natural samples used. A close approach to equilibrium of Zr distribution between zircon and rutile is suggested based on the high degree of reproducability of Zr contents in rutiles from different rock types from the same locality. At a given locality, the calculated range in T is mostly +/- 10 degreesC, indicating the geological and analytical precision of the rutile thermometer. Possible applications of this new geothermometer are discussed covering the fields of ultrahigh temperature (UHT) granulites, sedimentary provenance studies and metamorphic field gradients
Cold subduction of oceanic crust: Implications from a lawsonite eclogite from the Dominican Republic
No full textLawsonite eclogite is a rare rock type that has been described from only five natural occurrences. In contrast, laboratory experiments and thermal models predict that lawsonite eclogite should be widespread in subducted oceanic crust deeper than 1.5 GPa. Here we report a new lawsonite eclogite find from the Dominican Republic that provides constraints on the conditions of subducted crust and on its return to the surface. In this sample, lawsonite coexisting with omphacite occurs as both inclusions in garnet and as porphyroblasts, the latter being partly replaced at their margins by epidote and zoisite. Peak pressure conditions estimated from lawsonite-phengite-omphacite-garnet assemblages were ca 1.6 GPa at a temperature of 360degreesC, implying formation under a geotherm of ca. 8degreesC/km. Peak temperature conditions of 410-450degreesC were in the zoisite eclogite field, suggesting that the sample crossed from the stability field of lawsonite eclogite into that of zoisite eclogite as a result of increasing temperature. A comparison with other reported occurrences indicates that most lawsonite eclogite exhumed at the Earth's surface formed in accretionary wedges. The rarity of lawsonite eclogite at the Earth's surface may be principally due to two factors: (i) that in 'normal' subduction settings lawsonite eclogite enters the subduction factory and hence is usually not exhumed; and (ii) that in accretionary wedge settings, where the PT path leaves the stability field of lawsonite eclogite due to heating, lawsonite eclogite is only preserved if the exhumation path is constrained to a narrow window where the terminal stability of lawsonite is not crossed
