Unpleasant odors may sometimes develop in wine during alcoholic fermentation, due to the formation of sulfur compounds by yeast. In view of the complexity of yeast s sulfur metabolism, there are many biochemical mechanisms capable of producing these malodorous molecules. For this reason, theories that attempt to explain the appearance of reduction defects in fermenting wines are often contradictory, and of practically no use to winemakers wishing to implement reliable preventive measures (Rankine, 1963 Eschenbruch, 1974). 

The Aughenbaugh Gabbro (Table 13.3) is a mafic cumulate that concordantly overlies the Walker Anorthosite and extends throughout the Dufek Massif from Walker Peak in the southwest for about 50 km to Rankine Rock which is the most northeasterly nunatak of the Dufek Massif in Fig. 13.41. The thickness of this formation is at least 1,600 m. The Aughenbaugh... 

Samples from Dartmoor are, however, notably enriched in Li, Sn and B in comparison with those from Cairngorm, as is indicated by Li/Sr, Sn/Zr, B/Si and B/Ga paired-element plots. It is suggested that this may be due to widespread pervasive high-temperature metamorphic and formational water-rock interaction, which probably occurred prior to vein-type mineralization (see also fluid inclusion evidence of Rankin and Alderton ).
