A saját fejlesztésű ImaGeo rendszer terepen, fúrásokban és bányatérségekben is nagy felbontású, digitális földtani dokumentációt és 3D földtani-tektonikai adatfelvételt tesz lehetővé, normál és UV fény megvilágításban egyaránt. A fúrásokban kapott adatok mélyfúrás-geofizikai akusztikus (Borehole televiewer, BHTV) vagy ellenállás (pl. Formation MicroImager, FMI) adatsorok felhasználásával újra orientálhatóak és ezzel részletes földtani elemzések megvalósítása válik lehetővé a valós térben. A rendszer részei a Magszkenner, a Fotórobot és a LIPS (Lézer gerjesztésű plazma spektrométer). Jelen cikk az ImaGeo rendszer módszereinek bemutatása mellett esettanulmányt közöl az Ibafa, Ib–4 fúrás mezozoos rétegsorának magszkenneléses eredményeiről különös tekintettel a Jakabhegyi Homokkő Formáció elemzésére. A Formáció vizsgálatát az adatok 45/13°-os (dőlésirány/dőlésszög) tektonikusan kibillentett helyzetből történt visszabillentés után valósítottuk meg. A magszkennelésből származó szemcseméret, rétegvastagság, dőlésirány és dőlésszög eloszlások vizsgálata alapján a Jakabhegyi Homokkő Formáció harántolt rétegsorát 5 szakaszra lehetett bontani. A szakaszhatárok nem korrelálnak a földtani dokumentáció szakaszainak határaival. A visszabillentett dőlések DDK, D és DNy felé mutatnak, de bizonyos mélységszakaszokban a tisztán Ny-i és K-i irányok is jelentősek. Mindezeket üledékszállítási főirányként értelmezzük. A szállítási irányok a formáció egészét tekintve is széles spektrumon oszlanak el. A rétegvastagság, dőlésirány és dőlésszög adatok ciklicitás elemzését vizuálisan, mintázatok felismerése útján és geomatematikai periodicitás elemzéssel vizsgáltuk. Ezek alapján több, különböző periódushosszúságú (deciméteres, 1, 3 és 8 méteres) ciklust lehetett meghatározni. A ciklusosság megállapítható a lemezvastagságban, a dőlésszögek és a dőlésirányok eloszlásában is. A hosszabb ciklusok leginkább a dőlésirányok eloszlásában mutatkoznak. A dőlésszögekben a vizuális, mintázatokon alapuló és a geomatematikai módszer is a 0,5 m körüli ciklust mutatta ki. A geomatematikai elemzés 2 párhuzamos ciklushosszt mutatott ki a dőlésirányokban és a dőlésszögekben. Ezek 1,3 és ~4,5 m ciklushosszúságú periódusok. A vizuális elemzés feltárt egy mintegy 50 m-es ciklust is, ezt geomatematikai úton nem lehetett igazolni.
Prototypes of borehole-wall imager instruments were developed and tested at a desert riverbed in Morocco and at a lake’s salty flat in the Atacama desert, to support the drilling activity of ExoMars rover. The onsite recorded borehole images contain information on the context that are lost during the sample acquisition. Benefits of the borehole-wall imaging is the easier maximal energy estimation of a fluvial flow, the detailed information on sedimentation and layering, especially the former existence of liquid water and its temporal changes, including paleo-flow direction estimation from grain imbrication direction. Benefits of laboratory analysis of the acquired samples are the better identification of mineral types, determination of the level of maturity of granular sediment, and identification of the smallest, wet weathered grains. Based on the lessons learned during the comparison of field and laboratory results, we demonstrate that recording the borehole-wall with optical instrument during/after drilling on Mars supports the paleo-environment reconstruction with such data that would otherwise be lost during the sample acquisition. Because of the lack of plate tectonism and the low geothermal gradient on Mars, even Ga old sediments provide observable features that are especially important for targeting Mars sample return and later crewed Mars missions.
The structural similarities between the inorganic component of bone tissue and geological formations make it possible that mathematic models may be used to determine weight percentage composition of different mineral element oxides constituting the inorganic component of bone tissue. The determined weight percentage composition can be verified with the determination of element oxide concentration values by laser induced plasma spectroscopy and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry. It can be concluded from calculated weight percentage composition of the inorganic component of bone tissue and laboratory analyses that the properties of bone tissue are determined primarily by hydroxylapatite. The inorganic bone structure can be studied well by determining the calcium oxide concentration distribution using the laser induced plasma spectroscopy technique. In the present study, thin polished bone slides prepared from male bovine tibia were examined with laser induced plasma spectroscopy in a regular network and combined sampling system to derive the calculated calcium oxide concentration distribution. The superficial calcium oxide concentration distribution, as supported by "frequency distribution" curves, can be categorized into a number of groups. This, as such, helps in clearly demarcating the cortical and trabecular bone structures. Following analyses of bovine tibial bone, the authors found a positive association between the attenuation value, as determined by quantitative computer tomography and the "ρ" density, as used in geology. Furthermore, the calculated "ρ" density and the measured average calcium oxide concentration values showed inverse correlation.
<p>The basement of the south-eastern part of the Miocene Pannonian back-arc basin is represented by the Tisza Unit. The deep structure of the Tisza unit is poorly studied, despite its significant geothermal and CH potential.&#160; This work is a first step in our structural mapping project, which investigates the structures within the basement of the Pannonian Basin.&#160;<br /><br />The Tisza unit is composed of Proterozoic to Early Paleozoic poly-metamorphic basement rocks, and Late Paleozoic to Mesozoic sedimentary cover. The Tisza Unit is built up by three main nappes, the Mecsek, the Vill&#225;ny-Bihar and the Codru subunits. The Tisza Unit is exposed in inselbergs (Mecsek, Vill&#225;ny, Apuseni Mts.), however, most of it is covered by several km thick Miocene succession. The pore space containing energy source materials is located in the Miocene Pannonian Basin cover sediments, and in the fractured basement rocks near its surface and in their deeper part, especially in the Cretaceous sedimentary formation. Our research targets the better understanding of the Alpine shortening tectonics and structure of the Tisza Unit, with special attention to the structures of these tectonically buried sedimentary basement patches.<br /><br />In this study we use modern 3D seismic data sets and well data to investigate the central part of the Tisza Unit. Based on that, the Tisza Unit is a Late Cretaceous fold and thrust belt, which can be characterized by major thick-skinned nappes, and second-ordered thin-skinned structures. Such second-ordered structures are the active and passive roof-duplexes below the Vill&#225;ny nappe (Derecske), and out-of-the-syncline thrusts in the front of the Codru nappe (V&#233;szt&#337;). The basal thrust of the Vill&#225;ny nappe cuts across pre-existing normal faults and associated half-grabens, demonstrating the presence of the early Alpine rift-related structures. Major nappes are unconformably overlain by Santonian to Maastrichtian beds, nevertheless, the presence of growth-synclines in this succession indicates ongoing shortening after major nappe emplacement during the latest Cretaceous. The Cretaceous fold and thrust belt of the Tisza Unit is strongly overprinted by Miocene extensional and transtensional structures, which are related to the rifting of the Pannonian back-arc basin.</p>
