For example, Kletetschka and Stout (1998) found a region (Fig. 1) where the magnetization contrast was mainly due to RM carried by HISS mineralogy. In most cases, induced magnetization contrasts reflect the relative proportions of magnetite, which has a mass susceptibility three to four orders of magnitude larger than hematite and most of the …
A unique symplectitic intergrowth of magnetite + rutile is hosted by ilmenite in the gabbro of the Xinjie Fe-Ti oxide-bearing, mafic-ultramafic layered intrusion. The crystallization of rutile in the symplectite is probably formed by oxidation of ilmenite-hematite solid solution (Ilm-Hem ss ). Segregation of Fe 3+ in the Ilm-Hem ss at the rutile-host interfaces …
Hematite will leave a red to red-brown streak on the plate, while magnetite will leave a black streak. Ilmenite: Ilmenite is a dense, black metallic mineral that can be confused with metallic hematite, but again the two mineral's streak should serve to distinguish them. ... Ilmenite exhibits a black streak similar to that of magnetite, while ...
The ilmenite-hematite (FeTiO 3-Fe 2 O 3) solid solution (Ilm ss) commonly occurs in layered intrusions (Harrison et al. 2000).Ilm ss tends to experience subsolidus re-equilibration and phase transformation during different T-f O 2 cooling paths, forming …
Ilmenite may contain significant isomorphic substitutions of Mg2+ and Mn2+ for both Fe2+, and probably forms solid solutions with both geikielite (Mg,Ti)2O3 and pyrophanite (Mn,Ti)2O3 end-members. Ilmenite commonly shows intergrowth with hematite and magnetite. The crystals are totally opaque and appear as thick tabular crystals or …
Magnetite and ilmenite often occur together in oxide-rich zones of highly differentiated igneous rocks (Ashwal 1982), while magnetite and hematite may occur together in banded iron formations where fluid-present deformation facilitates oxidative transformation of magnetite to secondary hematite (Lagoeiro 1998). At oxidizing conditions near the ...

Massif-type mafic intrusions (gabbro and anorthosite) are known for their considerable resources of vanadium-bearing iron–titanium oxide ores. Massive-type gabbroic and anorthosite rocks are frequently associated with magmatic rocks that have significant quantities of iron, titanium, and vanadium. The most promising intrusions that host Fe-Ti …

Compositions [in terms of Ti/(Ti + Fe) at. %] of coexisting titanomagnetites (base) and ilmenite–hematite ss (top) re-equilibrated at 950°C in vacuo in the Fe–Ti–O system ... Consequently, the re-equilibrated 950°C assemblage displays higher magnetite and hematite contents; that is, a tie-line shifted to the left in Fig. 1.
hematite and ilmenite belong to the trigonal system, they tend to form a coherent interface in solid transformation (Robinson et al. 2002); in contrast, rutile is tetragonal and magnetite cubic, so
ferromagrretic ordering in hematite is parallel to the [0001] axls. Ilmenite is also antiferromagnetic. The magnetic mo-ments, however, are aligned parallel to the [0001] axis (Ishikawa et al., 1985). In ilmenite, the Fe2+ atoms are ffil-Fig. l.

For Fe–Mg interdiffusion, each diffusion couple consisted of an ilmenite polycrystal and an oriented …
The magnetism in ilmenite is of the same order as magnetite (Fe 3 O 4) but the magnetic susceptibility and magnetic saturation depends on whether the composition is low in titanium with a high amount of hematite or high in titanium containing a low amount of hematite. As titanium has no 3d electrons it is nonmagnetic; therefore, increased ...
The assumptions are as follows: (1) the remanence at 10 K is from all three phases, hematite + ilmenite + magnetite; (2) the remanence below the Verwey transition and above 40 K (from ∼50 to 100 K) is from magnetite + hematite; and (3) the room temperature remanence after warming is from hematite.
