Volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) from the Precambrian of Wisconsin, USA. (5.3 centimeters across at its widest)
Volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) deposits appear to have formed at ancient seafloor hydrothermal vents (“black smoker” environments) at or near mid-ocean ridges. VMS deposits principally contain various sulfide minerals, and can be economically significant.
The rock seen here is from the Flambeau VMS Deposit in Wisconsin, USA. It is dominated by pyrite and some chalcopyrite, but may contain small amounts of chalcocite, bornite, and other sulfides. It’s rich enough in copper and copper-iron sulfides to qualify as a copper ore. This deposit was mined out for its copper in the 1990s. The ores here also have a little finely-disseminated gold.
The Flambeau VMS Deposit is Paleoproterozoic in age. The sulfides are hosted in metamorphosed volcanic rocks (metadacites & metarhyodacites) of the Pembine-Wausau Terrane. This terrane was a volcanic island arc (analagous to modern-day Japan or the Aleutian Islands) that collided with the southern margin of the Superior Craton during the Penokean Orogeny (1.85-1.86 billion years ago).
Locality: Flambeau Mine, just south of the town of Ladysmith, central Rusk County, northwestern Wisconsin, USA (45º 26’ 28” North latitude, 91º 07’ 01” West longitude)

VMS Eve
Virgin Galactic is a company within Sir Richard Branson's Virgin Group which plans to provide sub-orbital spaceflights to the paying public. Further in the future Virgin Galactic plans to offer orbital spaceflights as well.
The Scaled Composites Model 348 WhiteKnightTwo (WK2) is a jet-powered carrier aircraft which will be used to launch the SpaceShipTwo spacecraft. It is being developed by Scaled Composites as the first stage of Tier 1b, a two-stage to suborbital-space manned launch system. WK2 is based on the successful mothership to SpaceShipOne, White Knight, which itself is based on Proteus.
Virgin Galactic has ordered two WK2s. Together WK2 and SS2 form the basis for Virgin Galactic's fleet of suborbital spaceplanes.
The first WK2 is named VMS Eve after Richard Branson's mother; it was officially unveiled on July 28, 2008, and flew for the first time on December 21, 2008. The second is expected to be named VMS Spirit of Steve Fossett after Branson's close friend Steve Fossett.
We are improving the long-term safety and lifespan of the St. Johns Bridge by repairing the concrete on the pier columns and arches under the bridge. Repairing the concrete will protect the bridge's steel internal frame and reinforcements from corrosion, maintaining the service life of this beloved Portland Historic Landmark.
