Zn-rich högbomite formed from gahnite in the metabauxites of the Menderes Massif, SW Turkey

The metamorphic petrology of metabauxites of the southern end of the Menderes Massif in southwestern Turkey was investigated. Both the zinc spinel gahnite and hogbomite were found; each was in characteristic grades of bauxite metamorphosis. The hogbomite was found to be among the most zinc-rich vari...

Summary:The metamorphic petrology of metabauxites of the southern end of the Menderes Massif in southwestern Turkey was investigated. Both the zinc spinel gahnite and hogbomite were found; each was in characteristic grades of bauxite metamorphosis. The hogbomite was found to be among the most zinc-rich varieties known.
