Abstract
Automated petrographic analysis integrates scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy hardware with expert so ware to generate micron-scale compositional maps of rocks. While automated petrography solutions such as QEMSCAN® are widely used in the mining, mineral processing, and petroleum industries to characterize ore deposits and subsurface rock formations, it has not been used in metamorphic petrology. is study applies automated petrographic analysis using QEMSCAN® to a garnet-staurolite schist of the San Lorenzo Formation, Sevilla geological province (Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta massif), and demonstrates that this analytical technique has clear potential application in petrologic studies.
自动岩石分析集成了扫描电子显微镜和能量色散x射线光谱硬件与专家软件生成微米尺度的岩石成分图。虽然QEMSCAN®等自动化岩石学解决方案广泛用于采矿，矿物加工和石油工业，以表征矿床和地下岩层，但尚未用于变质岩石学。该研究使用QEMSCAN®对塞维利亚地质省(Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta地块)圣洛伦佐组的石榴石-橄榄岩片岩进行了自动岩石学分析，并证明该分析技术在岩石学研究中具有明显的潜在应用前景。
期刊介绍：
Revista Mexicana de Ciencias Geológicas (RMCG) publishes original research papers on geological processes of broad interest, and particularly those dealing with regions of Latin America. The RMCG also publishes review papers on topics of current interest, and on the geology and tectonics of geological provinces of Latin America. Besides, it offers the opportunity for host editors to publish special thematic issues.
