The mine complex extends over 21.2 square kilometers and is one of the largest gold deposits in Europe. The tunnel system in the underground is several hundred kilometers long and was used until a few years ago. Already in Roman times the tunnels had a length of 145 km. |

Peter Seroka has addressed the issue in several years of work and has written an up-to-date geological summary. He dedicated his work to the 15 th anniversary of Mineralienatlas. The work gives detailed information regarding the origin of deposits, the different types of deposits and their classification. Examples of economically important deposits complete the chapters. Provided that this comprehensive work would be printed it would be a volume of over 400 pages; here it is provided in its entirety, online. Thanks to Peter Seroka. (written in german language). |

Der Grund für das Auftreten dieser Symmetrien liegt darin, daß bestimmte Atomanordnungen in der Struktur besonders stabil sind; eine hohe Symmetrie erlaubt dann die ständige Wiederholung dieser besonders stabilen Konfigurationen in der Struktur. Die Beschäftigung mit der Symmetrie von Kristallen in der Kristallographie ist aus mehreren Gründen besonders wichtig - Ein Beitrag von Erik Hock |

This very thin lime- clay layer lies between two calcareous sediments and showed a different fossil record , which to a mass extinction ( faunal ) hinted . While further analysis Alvarez noted a high iridium concentrations; a typical ... An article by Peter Seroka (written in german) |
