Distribution of the Heavy Minerals in the Downwind Tephra Lobe of the May 18, 1980 Eruption of the Mount St. Helens (Washington, USA)

Abstract: Abstract. Die stratigraphische Korrelation von vulkanischen Leithorizonten aufgrund ihrer Schwermineralzusammensetzung bringt Probleme mit sich, da die Frage, ob die Zusammensetzung im Verbreitungsgebiet konstant oder wechselnd ist, noch nicht eindeutig geklärt werden konnte. In Europa stellt sich dieses Problem im wesentlichen bei unterschiedlichen tuffitischen Lagen (Laachersee Tuff, Eltviller Tuff, Tuf de Rocourt). Dieser Beitrag betrifft die Aschen, die vom Mount Saint Helens-Vulkan am 18.5.1980 gefördert … Show more

“…The heavy mineralogy is dominated by orthopyroxenes (87%). Correlation of the recent tephra layers (short cores) Here, we propose a correlation model between the short (b 1 m) sediment cores collected in Puyehue Lake, keeping in mind the possibility of mineralogical variations for a single tephra deposit, even on short distances (e.g., the May 1980 tephra of Mt St Helens, USA - Juvigné and Shipley, 1983). Due to the high purity of the heavy minerals studied in the tephra layers of PU-II-P2 and PU-I-P1 pilot cores (no contamination by the host sediment), the heavy mineral suite of tephras identified in short cores and in the upper meter of PU-II long core has been studied in details and used as a correlation tool.…”
