“…It should be noted that these data refer to the marble holotypic varieties and have a general and not absolute validity (anomalous compositions and characteristics are always possible, especially near the contact areas of marbles with embedding rocks). The fabric of a marble is diagnostically very important since it is related to the type and degree of metamorphism undergone by its original sedimentary protolith (Lazzarini et al 1980). A first general fabric classification is based upon the equal or different dimensions of the calcite or dolomite crystals, referred to as homeoblastic (HO) or heteroblastic (HE), respectively.…”

The identification of the quarry of provenance of ancient marble artefacts is, on the one hand, of the utmost interest to archaeologists and art historians, on the other hand, one of the most debated problems of petro-archaeometry. Scholars of different disciplines (geosciences, chemistry, physics) have been trying for more than a century such identification by means of a unique or multiple laboratory analysis without totally positive results in absence of non-destructive techniques. To date, the best probabilities of success are obtained by combining together at least two analytical methodologies and jointly processing all the data obtained. In particular, the detailed minero-petrographic examination of a thin section and the determination of the C and O stable isotopic ratios on the same sample is currently the most widely used and reliable combination. Such a combination takes advantage of the most updated existing databases for the main Mediterranean marbles very commonly used in classical antiquity. On the basis of a complete scrutiny of the recent literature data published from 2002 to 2012, we propose here an upgrade and reorganization on a geographic base of the petrographic and isotopic databanks based on hundreds of analyses relative to the marbles from the major and some minor quarries active in Greek and Roman times. These new data allow to increase the statistical significance of the whole database and draw new global reference isotopic diagrams related to the maximum grain size (MGS) of the different marbles proving very useful to better determining the provenance of a given archaeological/historical marble objects

“…The application of various analytical methods allow many sources to be positively identified (Craig and Craig, 1972;Coleman and Walker, 1979;Lazzarini et al, 1980;Herz, 1987;Mello et al, 1988;Moens et al, 1988;Tsirambides, 1996;Vakoulis, 2000;Attanasio et al, 2003;Capedri et al, 2004;Melfos, 2004;Perugini et al, 2004). In particular, only one method is not enough for recognizing marbles, and so the most recent and effective approaches usually combine different techniques, such as mineralogical composition, petrographic analysis, stable isotopes ( 13 C and 18 O) and trace element analysis.…”

“…A szemcseméret mellett a márványok szövete is diagnosztikai jelentőséggel bír, hiszen a kőzetet ért meta morfózis fokát tükrözi (GORGONI et al 1998, LAZZARINI et al 1980. A márványok esetében a szemcseméret eloszlása szerint alapvetően két fő szöveti kategóriát különböztetnek meg a metamorf kőzettanban általáno san használt granoblasztos szövet pontosításaként: a homeo blasztos és a hetero blasztos szövetet.…”

Detailed petrographic studies on marbles are rare in the Hungarian geological literature. Determination of the mineral phases and their grain size, examination of the grain boundaries as well as deformation microstructures, however, can provide a comprehensive information about the metamorphic evolution and the deformation history of a marble unit.The metamorphic basement block near the village of Dorozsma contains a few-meter-thick marble zone within the Békés-Codru Zone. A petrographic study of archive thin sections representing this marble zone was carried out from the boreholes Dorozsma-4, Dorozsma-7 and Dorozsma-54.The fine-grained marble samples show heteroblastic texture with a composition of carbonate + quartz + muscovite + Mg-chlorite ± talc. The carbonate crystal boundaries are dominantly sutured, embayed and rarely curved. All the morpho logical types of deformation twins appear in the samples, but dominantly twin types II and IV are present. The characteristic features of the samples are small dissolution cavities filled with fine crystalline carbonate, blocky quartz and, in some cases, with saddle dolomite. In the samples from the borehole Dorozsma-4 small inclusion free carbonate grains substitute the deformation twins of the large carbonate crystals. In addition, small carbonate neoblasts and Mgchlorite flakes can be found among the large carbonate crystals. Characteristic microstructures of the samples from the well Dorozsma-7 are large sigmoid carbonate clasts in a very fine-grained matrix. The deformation twins of the carbonate clasts can be easily identified and show the signs of recrystallization. These samples beside the carbonate clasts also contain irregularly shaped polycrystalline quartz grains with dissolved edges, undulose extinction and signs of incipient dynamic recrystallization.The microstructures presented above suggest a polyphase deformation. The D 1 deformation event took place above 250 °C based on the relict microstructures. The subsequent D 2 ductile deformation event was a low-temperature dynamic recrystallization with a simple shear component, which could be the result of a hydrolitic weakening effect of hydrothermal fluids during deformation of the Dorozsma marble.Keywords: Dorozsma, marble, petrography, ductile deformation, metasomatism Összefoglalás A márványok petrográfiai vizsgálata napjainkig alárendelt szerepet kapott a hazai földtani szakirodalomban. A már -ványt felépítő ásványfázisok, valamint azok szemcsemérete és a szemcsehatár jellegének meghatározása (kőzetszövet), illetve a deformációs bélyegek feltárása és értelmezése révén azonban átfogó képet kaphatunk a kőzet metamorf fejlő dé -séről és deformációtörténetéről, ami független bizonyítékokkal szolgálhat a befoglaló metamorf kőzettest korreláció -jához.A Békés-Codrui-egységen belül elhelyezkedő, Dorozsma környéki kristályos aljzatban egy maximum néhányszor tíz mé ter vastagságú, markáns töréses deformációt szenvedett márványzóna található. Tanulmányunkban az e zónát mintázó Dorozsma-4, -7 és -54 fúrá...
