Breccie Explanation: Breccia A rock in which angular fragments are surrounded by a mass of fine-grained minerals. These fragments may be produced by volcanic explosion, faulting or sedimentary deposition. The sharpness of the fragments indicates that they did not travel far from where they fractured. http://www.corriente.com/mining_glossary.htm Breccie verfestigtes klastisches Sedimentgestein mit kantigen Bruchstücken. Das Gefüge heißt breccös. Beispiel: Tuffbreccie http://www.bergfieber.de/geologie/glossar/glossar.htm -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 10 mins (2004-07-03 18:20:35 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Mehrzahl: Breccien Wie bereits erwähnt wurde das Dolomitgestein teilweise abgetragen. Das dabei entstandene abgetragene Material lagerte sich auf den darunter liegenden Gesteinen ab. Daraus entstanden Breccien mit Dolomitgesteinskomponenten, wie die Dolomit-Basalbreccie, die Unteren Hochfilzener Schichten und die Untern Prebichlschichten. http://www.silberbergwerk.at/geology/Gesteinsarten/ |
