The Attepe district consists of Precambrian, Lower–Middle Cambrian, Upper Cambrian–Lower Ordovician and Mesozoic formations. It contains several iron deposits and occurrences. Three types of iron-mineralizations can be distinguished in the area; (i) Sedimentary Fe-sulfide in Precambrian bituminous metapelitic rocks, and Fe-oxides in Precambrian metasandstones (SISO), (ii) vein-type Fe-carbonate and oxides composed of mainly siderite, ankerite and hematite including barite in Lower–Middle Cambrian metacarbonates of the Çaltepe Formation (HICO), (iii) karstic Fe-oxides and hydroxides essentially in the Lower–Middle Cambrian metacarbonates and the unweathered Fe-carbonates (KIO). The latter type is more widespread and located at the upper parts of the most important mineable iron deposits like Attepe deposit. Oxygen-, carbon-, sulfur- and strontium-isotope studies have been performed on siderites and barites in the vein-type ores, and on calcites in the recrystallized Çaltepe Limestones to investigate the sources and formation mechanism of primary ore-forming constituents. The δ13C values of siderites and calcites in limestones of the Çaltepe Formation range from −10.10‰ to −8.20‰, and from −0.8‰ to 2.30‰. Both carbonate minerals show δ18O values between 17.50–18.30‰ and 16.20–23.00‰, respectively. The δ13C and δ18O isotopic variations do not indicate any direct or linear relations between siderites and limestones. However, it is possible that the carbon and oxygen isotopic compositions of carbonate minerals could be changed to some extent, when limestones were subjected to hydrothermal processes or thermal alterations during metamorphism. The isotopic values of barites display 32.40–38.30‰ for δ34S and 12.20–14.70‰ for δ18O. The strontium isotope ratios (0.717169–0.718601) of barites and the sulfur isotope compositions of barites and pyrites suggest that there are no direct linkages of ore-forming compounds neither with a magmatic source nor with sedimentary pyrite formations in the Precambrian bituminous shales of the Attepe formation. According to the field observations and the stable isotope data, siderites and ankerites should be formed by interaction between iron-rich hydrothermal fluids and Çaltepe limestones, whereas isotope ratios of barites indicate that they were formed by mixing of sulfur-rich meteoric waters and deeply circulated hydrothermal solutions. 相似文献

Kosice矿床是斯洛伐克第二大的菱镁矿床(150Mt),位于Gemeric的东部.其镁质碳酸盐矿体赋存于石炭纪石灰石和含白云石的石灰石中,同时下盘黑色片岩中也含有被铁质碳酸盐交代的薄层碳酸盐透镜体.在华力西期造山运动(M1)中,古生代岩石受到了低级变质作用(绿泥石带).镁交代作用始于白云岩1的结晶作用,其后形成菱镁矿,最终沿裂隙形成铁菱镁矿.铁质碳酸盐包括早期铁白云石-白云石,铁白云石和后期含方解石和石英的菱铁矿.根据碳酸盐矿物对地质温度计,白云石l结晶作用发生在300~340℃.这一结果与M1的变质矿物组合(绿泥石,白云母-伊利石)吻合.铁白云石的结晶作用发生在320~370℃.少量细脉中可见白云石2,绿泥石和伊利石-多硅白云母,它们是由于阿尔卑斯期造山运动M2变质作用形成的更晚的矿物组合.菱镁矿的流体包裹体(FI)研究,显示存在不同成分的热卤水,卤水成分变化相当于NaCl含量21~42wt%,但其它成分的盐含量高于NaCl,溶解的CO2含量也有变化.两相包裹体均一温度(Th)的范围为164~217℃,含石盐子晶包裹体均一温度的范围为217~344℃.富CO2包裹体(盐度相当于NaCl含量1~22wt%,CO2的密度为0.28~0.77g·cm-3,均一温度为289~344℃)在菱镁矿中是次要的,但这种包裹体在与矿石伴生的石英中是主要的,并且与含石盐子晶流体包裹体共生.在后期镁交代过程中流体中的CO2逐渐增加.和铁质碳酸盐伴生的石英中只有两相包裹体,包裹体中CO2含量有所变化,盐度范围为17~24wt%的NaCl(或者34~36 wt%的MgCl2),均一温度为152~195℃.包裹体的数据结合碳酸盐地质温度计显示镁交代作用的压力范围是180~320MPa(7~12km),铁交代作用的压力范围是280~420MPa(10~16km),说明地热梯度约为25~35℃/km.包裹体浸出液的分析表明Cl/Br和Na/Br的比值存在变化,但仍旧说明富镁的卤水来源是上二叠纪和下三叠纪的分馏蒸发岩来源.铁质碳酸盐流体的高溴和高碘含量,说明在铁交代过程中周围黑色片岩的明显影响.菱镁矿和铁交代作用,表明交代流体中的碳和二氧化碳,主要是海洋沉积的来源.菱铁矿的"Sr/86Sr比值((0.71124~0.71140),说明锶的多来源,最初应是石炭纪和二叠纪的海水,但它被当地其它陆壳中的锶混染. 相似文献

Fuerteventura—the second largest of the Canary Islands consists of Mesozoic sediments, submarine volcanic rocks, dike swarms and plutons of the Basal Complex, and younger subaerial basaltic and trachytic series. Carbonatites are found in two Basal Complex exposures: the Betancuria Massif in the central part of the island and the Esquinzo area in the north.
values of the carbonatites increase progressively from south to north of the island. This phenomenon is attributed to different degrees of assimilation of sedimentary carbonate. Homogeneous, typically magmatic
values for carbonatites which have preserved primary igneous textures and minerals suggest a well-mixed reservoir where changes in
values result from the storage of carbonate magmas at different structural levels. The magma storage allowed assimilation of sediment to varying degrees before final emplacement of carbonatites. Shifts in
towards more positive and negative values from presumed primary compositions are observed in the carbonatites. On the basis of the oxygen isotope compositions of calcite, mica and K-feldspar, and the hydrogen isotope compositions of micas, the changes in the
values of the carbonatites can be related to fluid/rock interactions. 相似文献

Farsesh barite in the central part of Iranian Sanandaj-Sirjan zone is a sample of epigenetic hydrothermal mineralization in dolomitized limestone, which provides appropriate chemicophysical conditions making the passage of mineral-bearing fluids possible. Barite veins may range from a few centimeters to 2 m in thickness that increases downward. The microthermometry measurements obtained from more than 30 fluid inclusions show relative homogenization temperatures ranging from 125 to 200 °C with an average of 110 °C for Farsesh barite deposits. The mean salinity measured proves 16 times as much as weight percentage of NaCl for barite. Coexistence of liquid- and vapor-rich fluid inclusions in barite minerals may provide an evidence of boiling in ore veins. Moreover, occurrence of bladed calcite, high-grade ore zones, and presence of hydrothermal breccia are all consistent with boiling. Thermometric studies indicate that homogenization temperatures (Th) for primary and pseudosecondary fluid inclusions in barite range from 125 to 200 °C with an average of 1,100 °C. The δ 34S values of barite also lie between 8.88 and 16.6 %. The relatively narrow spread in δ 34S values may suggest uniform environmental conditions throughout the mineralization field. Thus, δ 34S values are lower than those of contemporaneous seawater, which indicates a contribution of magmatic sulfur to the ore-forming solution. Barite is marked by total amounts of rare Earth elements (REEs) (6.25–17.39 ppm). Moreover, chondrite-normalized REE patterns of barite indicate a fractionation of light REEs (i.e., LREEs) from La to Sm, similar to those for barite from different origins. The La CN/Lu CN ratios and chondrite-normalized REE patterns reveal that barite in Farsesh deposit is enriched in LREEs compared with heavy rare Earth elements (HREEs). Similarity between Ce/La ratios in barite samples and those found in deep-sea barite supports its marine origin. Lanthanum and Gd exhibit positive anomalies, which are common features of chemical marine sediments. Cerium shows a negative anomaly in most samples inherited from the negative Ce anomaly of hydrothermal fluid that is mixed with seawater at barite precipitation. The available data including tectonic setting, host rock characteristics, REE geochemistry, and sulfur isotopic compositions may support a hydrothermal submarine origin for Farsesh barite deposit. 相似文献

This paper deals with barite from stratiform, karst, and vein deposits hosted within Lower Paleozoic rocks of the Iglesiente-Sulcis mining district in southwestern Sardinia. For comparison sulfates from mine waters are studied. Stratiform barite displays 34S=28.8–32.1, 18O=12.7–15.6, and 87Sr/ 86Sr=0.7087, in keeping with an essentially Cambrian marine origin of both sulfate and strontium. Epigenetic barite from post-Hercynian karst and vein deposits is indistinguishable for both sulfur and oxygen isotopes with 34S=15.3–26.4 and 18O=6.6–12.5; 87Sr/ 86Sr ratios vary 0.7094–0.7140. These results and the microthermometric and salinity data from fluid inclusions concur in suggesting that barite formed at the site of mineralization by oxidation of reduced sulfur from Cambrian-Ordovician sulfide ores in warm, sometimes hot solutions consisting of dilute water and saline brine with different 18O values. The relative proportion of the two types of water may have largely varied within a given deposit during the mineralization. In the karst barite Sr was essentially provided by carbonate host rocks, whereas both carbonate and Lower Paleozoic shale host rocks should have been important sources for Sr of the vein barite. Finally, 34S data of dissolved sulfate provide further support for the mixed seawater-meteoric water composition of mine waters from the Iglesiente area. 相似文献

The Sivrikaya Fe-skarn mineralization is hosted by dolomitic limestone layers of Late Cretaceous volcano-sedimentary unit, comprised of andesite, basalt and their pyroclastites, including, sandstone, shale and dolomitic limestone layers. Intrusion of the Late Cretaceous–Eocene İkizdere Granitoid in the volcano–sedimentary unit resulted in skarn mineralization along the granitoid–dolomitic limestone contact. The ore is associated with exoskarns, and mineralization is characterized by early anhydrous garnet and pyroxene with late hydrous minerals, such as epidote, tremolite, actinolite and chlorite. The ore minerals are mainly magnetite and hematite, with minor amounts of pyrite and chalcopyrite. The composition of garnet and pyroxene in the exoskarn is Adr 79.45−99.03Grs 0−17.9Prs 0.97−2.65 and Di 69.1−77.1Hd 22.2−29.8Jhn 0.6−1.4, respectively, and abundances of magnetite in the ore suggest that the Fe-skarn mineralization formed under relatively oxidized conditions.Homogenization temperatures (T h) of all fluid inclusions and calculated salinity content are in the range of 166 °C–462 °C and 0.35–14.3 wt% NaCl equ., respectively. Well-defined positive correlation between Th and salinity values indicates that meteoric water was involved in the hydrothermal solutions. Eutectic temperatures (Te) between −40.8 °C and −53.6 °C correspond to the presence of CaCl 2 in the early stage of fluid inclusions. On the other hand, the Te temperatures of later-stage fluid inclusions, in the range of −38 °C and −21.2 °C, correspond to the presence of MgCl 2, FeCl 2, KCl and NaCl type salt combinations. None of the fluid inclusions were found to contain separated gas phases in microscopy observations. However, a limited amount of dissolved CH 4 was identified in the early stage, high temperature fluid inclusions using Raman spectroscopic studies.Δ 18O values in both dolomitic limestone (10.8–12.5‰) and skarn calcite (7.6–9.8‰) were highly depleted compared to the typical δ 18O values of marine limestones. Decreases in δ 18O values are accepted as an indication of dilution by meteoric water because retrograde brecciation of garnet, magnetite and breccia filling epidote and quartz in volcanic host rocks are an indication of increasing permeability, allowing infiltration of meteoric water. Highly depleted δ 13C isotopes (up to −6.5‰) of dolomitic limestone, indicate that organic matter in carbonates had an effect on the decreasing isotopic ratios. The presence of CH 4 and CH 2 in fluid inclusions can be explained by the thermal degradation of these organic materials. 相似文献

The Maladeta plutonic complex formed during the latest stages of the Variscan orogeny. It was emplaced into the Paleozoic sedimentary sequence of the Pyrenees. The eastern part, investigated in the present study, consists of an early intrusion of cumulate gabbronorites followed in order of emplacement by the main biotite-hornblende granodiorite, which was itself intruded by two small stocks of two-mica cordierite granite. An 87Rb- 87Sr isochron dates the granodiorite at 277±7 m.y. with an initial ( 87Sr/ 86Sr) o ratio of 0.7117±3. Gabbroic rocks have lower strontium initial ratios, down to 0.7092, while those of granite range from that of the granodiorite up to about 0.715. The three rock types have distinctive 18O values: 8.7 to 9.6 for the gabbronorites, 9.4 to 10.4 for the granodiorites and 10.3 to 11.8 for the granites. Lead isotopic compositions of rocks and feldspars are all radiogenic. Feldspars give consistent Pb model ages around 280 m.y., with and values of about 9.7 and 4.05, respectively. No pristine, mantle-derived magma was found among the investigated samples and the rocks cannot be related to one another by any simple mechanism of fractional crystallization. Some type of mixing process involving two end members seems to be required: a high- 18O, high- 87Sr material that is clearly of crustal origin, and a lower- 18O, lower- 87Sr end member derived from the mantle. Examination of various mixing models does not support magma mixing nor assimilation of crustal rocks by a mafic magma. The most acceptable model involves melting at different levels of a vertically-zoned source in the continental crust; this source was formed by mixing between mantle-derived magmas and crustal metasediments. This material was apparently thickened, tectonically downwarped and partially melted. None of the Maladeta magma-types appear to have been derived at a consuming plate boundary.Contribution Number 3280, Division of Geological and Planetary Sciences, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA 91125, USA 相似文献

Summary Arsenopyrite-gold mineralization in the lower Paleozoic series of the eastern Pyrenees is of two types: disseminated in Hercynian metasediments, and veins cross-cutting the main foliation. In the central Pyrenees, gold-bearing arsenopyrite mineralizations have recently been discovered in skarns along the SW contact of the Andorra granite. The ore minerals are similar to those of the veins, with gold also being associated with arsenopyrite, bismuth and sulphides.The late Hercynian Andorra granite intruded Paleozoic metasediments of pre-Caradocian to Carboniferous age. Six types of skarns have developed at or close to the contact between the granite and Devonian limestones. Only three of these, the hedenbergite, pyrrhotite and arsenopyrite skarns, are sulphide-bearing. Gold grades in these skarns range from less than 0.8 g/t in pyrrhotite skarns to 7 g/t in arsenopyrite skarns.The 34S of arsenopyrite from disseminated and vein mineralizations show values from 11 to 15, indicating a sulphur source of crustal origin. Vein sulphides are considered to have formed after a metamorphic remobilization of the sulphide rich disseminations in the Paleozoic series. Sulphur isotopic composition of skarn sulphides is variable: pyrrhotite from pyrrhotite skarns has a 34S +, suggesting a sulphur of magmatic origin. Their gold grades are very low (>0.8 g/t). The heavier values of arsenopyrite from arsenopyrite skarns ( 34S + 10) and of galena and sphalerite from hedenbergite skarns ( 34S + 7) correlate with the higher gold grades (7 and 5 g/t, respectively). This is interpreted to reflect a contribution of wall-rock sulphur-rich fluids generated from the thermal metamorphism of arsenopyrite-bearing wall-rock metasediments ( 34S + 12%o) during skarn formation or by assimilation of country rock by the granitic intrusion during its emplacement. The economic importance of these skarns appears to be related to the amount of crustal fluid involved in skarn formation.
Lagerstättenbildende Fluide in den goldführenden Skarnen des Andorra-Granites, Zentralpyrenäen, Spanien: Schwefelisotopen-Daten Zusammenfassung Arsenkies-Goldmineralisation in altpaläozoischen Serien der ostlichen Pyrenäen tritt in zwei Typen auf: Disseminiert in Hercynischen Metasedimenten, und in Gängen, die die Haupt-Foliation durchschlagen. In den Zentralpyrenäen wurden goldführende Arsenkies-Mineralisationen vor kurzem in Skarnen längs des SW-Kontaktes des Andorra-Granites entdeckt. Die Erzminerale sind ähnlich denen in den Gängen, wobei Gold mit Arsenkies, Wismut und Sulfiden assoziiert ist. Der spät-hercynische Andorra-Granit intrudierte paläozoische Metasedimente von Prä-Caradoc bis Karbon-Alter. Im Kontaktbereich Granit/Devonische Kalke kommen sechs Typen von Skarnen vor. Nur drei davon führen Sulflde, nämlich die Hedenbergit-, Magnetkies- und Arsenkiesskarne. Goldgehalte in diesen Skarnen schwanken von weniger als 0,8 g/t in Magnetkiesskarnen bis zu 7 g/t in Arsenkiesskarnen. Das ö34 S von Arsenopyrit in disseminierten und Gang-Mineralisationen schwankt von 11-15%o, und dies weist auf eine Schwefelquelle in der Kruste hin. Gangsulflde haben sich auch nach einer metamorphen Remobilisierung der Sulfid-reichen Disseminationen in den paläozoischen Serien gebildet. Die Schwefelisotopenzusammensetzung der Skarnsulfide schwankt: Magnetkies aus Magnetkiesskarnen hat ö34 S Werte von +4%o, dies weist auf magmatischen Ursprung hin. Ihre Goldgehalte sind sehr niedrig (<0,8 0,8 g/t). Die schwereren Isotopen von Arsenkies in Arsenkies-Skarnen (
34S+ 10%o) und von Bleiglanz und Zinkblende aus den Hedenbergit-Skarnen (
34S+ 7%o) lassen sich mit höheren Goldgehalten (7 und 5 g/t) korrelieren. Dies wird Fluiden zugeschrieben, die reich an Schwefel aus den Nebengesteinen sind und durch die thermale Metamorphose der Arsenkies-führenden Metasedimente (S + 12%o) während der Skarnbildung, oder durch Assimilation von Nebengestein durch den Granit wahrend seiner Platznahme entstanden sind. Die wirtschaftliche Bedeutung dieser Skarne scheint in einer direkten Beziehung zur Menge krustaler Fluide zu stehen.

The world-class Idrija mercury deposit (western Slovenia) is hosted by highly deformed Permocarboniferous to Middle Triassic sedimentary rocks within a complex tectonic structure at the transition between the External Dinarides and the Southern Alps. Concordant and discordant mineralization formed concomitant with Middle Triassic bimodal volcanism in an aborted rift. A multiple isotopic (C, O, S) investigation of host rocks and ore minerals was performed to put constraints on the source and composition of the fluid, and the hydrothermal alteration. The distributions of the 13C and 18O values of host and gangue carbonates are indicative of a fracture-controlled hydrothermal system, with locally high fluid-rock ratios. Quantitative modeling of the 13C and 18O covariation for host carbonates during temperature dependent fluid-rock interaction, and concomitant precipitation of void-filling dolomites points to a slightly acidic hydrothermal fluid ( 13C–4 and 18O+10), which most likely evolved during isotopic exchange with carbonates under low fluid/rock ratios. The 34S values of hydrothermal and sedimentary sulfur minerals were used to re-evaluate the previously proposed magmatic and evaporitic sulfur sources for the mineralization, and to assess the importance of other possible sulfur sources such as the contemporaneous seawater sulfate, sedimentary pyrite, and organic sulfur compounds. The 34S values of the sulfides show a large variation at deposit down to hand-specimen scale. They range for cinnabar and pyrite from –19.1 to +22.8, and from –22.4 to +59.6, respectively, suggesting mixing of sulfur from different sources. The peak of 34S values of cinnabar and pyrite close to 0 is compatible with ore sulfur derived dominantly from a magmatic fluid and/or from hydrothermal leaching of basement rocks. The similar stratigraphic trends of the 34S values of both cinnabar and pyrite suggest a minor contribution of sedimentary sulfur (pyrite and organic sulfur) to the ore formation. Some of the positive 34S values are probably derived from thermochemical reduction of evaporitic and contemporaneous seawater sulfates.Editorial handling: P. Lattanzi 相似文献

The Rosita Hills volcanic centre is an alkalicalcic, mid-Tertiary complex overlying orthoand paragneissic basement, on the eastern margin of the Rio Grande Rift in south central Colorado, USA. The centre contains vein-hosted, adularia-sericite type, epithermal Ag and base-metal mineralisation with minor Au. Stable isotope studies (O and H) of whole rock and mineral separate (quartz and sericite) samples from veins and hydrothermal eruption breccias show that the hydrothermal fluid had both magmatic and meteoric components. The D and 18O values of the hydrothermal fluid, calculated from mineral values, range from -22 to -103 and 0.5 to 5.9 respectively. Fluid inclusion data from vein minerals (quartz, baryte and sphalerite) and from an advanced argillic lithocap overlying the veins again show that the hydrothermal system had more than one component fluid. Fluid inclusions have salinities which range from 1.7 to 25.1 wt% NaCl equivalent and show evidence of boiling in the advanced argillic lithocap. Homogenisation temperatures range from 135°C to 298°C. Liquid CO 2 is present in some inclusions. These data indicate that a saline, isotopically heavy fluid mixed with a dilute, isotopically light fluid to precipitate the ore. We argue that the saline, isotopically heavy fluid is magmatic and derived from a resurgent rhyolitic magma below the mineralisation. 相似文献

The Bijgan barite deposit, which is located northeast of Delijan in Markazi Province of Iran, occurs as a small lenticular body at the uppermost part of an Eocene volcano-sedimentary rock unit. The presence of fossiliferous and carbonaceous strata suggests that the host rocks were deposited in a quiet marine sedimentary environment. Barite, calcite, iron oxides and carbonaceous clay materials are found as massive patches as well as thin layers in the deposit. Barite is marked by very low concentrations of Sr (1–2%) and total amounts of rare earth elements (REEs) (6.25–17.39?ppm). Chondrite-normalized REE patterns of barite indicate a fractionation of light REEs (LREEs) from La to Sm, similar to those for barite of different origins from elsewhere. The La CN/Lu CN ratios and chondrite-normalized REE patterns reveal that barite in the Bijgan deposit is enriched in LREE relative to heavy rare earth elements (HREEs). The similarity between the Ce/La ratios in the barite samples and those found in deep-sea barite supports a marine origin for barite. Lanthanum and Gd exhibit positive anomalies, which are common features of marine chemical sediments. Cerium shows a negative anomaly in most samples that was inherited from the negative Ce anomaly of hydrothermal fluid that mixed with seawater at the time of barite precipitation. The δ 18O values of barites show a narrow range of 9.1–11.4‰, which is close to or slightly lower than that of contemporaneous seawater at the end of the Eocene. This suggests a contribution of oxygen from seawater in the barite-forming solution. The δ 34S values of barites (9.5–15.3‰) are lower than that of contemporaneous seawater, which suggests a contribution of magmatic sulfur to the ore-forming solution. The oxygen and sulfur isotope ratios indicate that submarine hydrothermal vent fluids are a good analog for solutions that precipitated barite, due to similarities in the isotopic composition of the sulfates. The available data including tectonic setting, host rock characteristics, REE geochemistry, and oxygen and sulfur isotopic compositions support a submarine hydrothermal origin for the Bijgan barite deposit. At the seafloor, barite deposition occurred where ascending Ba-bearing hydrothermal fluids encountered seawater. Sulfate was derived from the sulfate-bearing marine waters, and, to a lesser extent, by oxidized H 2S, which was derived from magmatic hydrothermal fluids. 相似文献

Carbon and oxygen isotope analyses were made of representative samples of calcite and quartz from the carbonate deposits in the Tolfa Mountains mining district. Measurements were also made of hydrogen isotope compositions, filling temperatures and salinities of fluid inclusions in these minerals. There are three stages of mineralization at Tolfa. In stage I, characterized by calc-silicate hornfels, the carbonates have relatively high 18O values of 14.5 to 21.6 suggesting a rather low water/rock ratio. 13C values of –0.3 to 2.1 indicate that appreciable decarbonation or introduction of deep-seated carbon did not occur. Stage II is marked by phanerocrystalline carbonates; 18O values of 13.1 to 20.0 and 13C values of 0.7 to 5.0 identify them as hydrothermal veins rather than marbles. D values of –56 to –50 for inclusion fluids suggest a possible magmatic component to the hydrothermal fluid. Filling temperatures of coarse-grained samples of Calcite II are 309° to 362° C with a salinity range of 5.3 to 7.1 weight percent NaCl. Calculated 18O values of 11–12 for these fluids are again indicative of low water/rock ratios. The sparry calcites of stage III have 18O and 13C values of 8.1 to 12.9 and –1.7 to 3.2, respectively. D values of inclusion fluids are –40 to –33, clearly heavier than in earlier stages and similar to values of modern local ground waters. A salinity measurement of <0.1 weight percent NaCl in a sample of Calcite III is compatible with a relatively unaltered ground water origin for this fluid. Precipitation of the sparry calcite took place at much lower temperatures, around 160° C. For quartz, 18O values of 9.3 to 12.4 and D values for inclusions of –53 to –28 are consistent with its late occurrence and paragenetic link with associated carbonates. 相似文献

The origin and age of the hydrothermal fluids related to the precipitation of fluorite, barite and calcite in the Villabona, La Collada and Berbes localities (Asturias fluorspar district, N Spain) have been evaluated from Sr and Nd radiogenic isotopes. Sr isotope data ( 87Sr / 86Sr = 0.7081 to 0.7096) are compatible with mixing between seawater and a more evolved groundwater that interacted with the basement. From Nd isotopes in fluorite, an isochron age of 185 ± 29 Ma (Lower Jurassic) was obtained, consistent with other hydrothermal events in the Iberian Peninsula and Europe. These constraints are essential to proceed with a quantitative model for the genesis of the mineralization that includes fluid and heat flow together with reactive transport of solutes. 相似文献

Tin-polymetallic greisen-type deposits in the Itu Rapakivi Province and Rondônia Tin Province, Brazil are associated with late-stage rapakivi fluorine-rich peraluminous alkali-feldspar granites. These granites contain topaz and/or muscovite or zinnwaldite and have geochemical characteristics comparable to the low-P sub-type topaz-bearing granites. Stockworks and veins are common in Oriente Novo (Rondônia Tin Province) and Correas (Itu Rapakivi Province) deposits, but in the Santa Bárbara deposit (Rondônia Tin Province) a preserved cupola with associated bed-like greisen is predominant. The contrasting mineralization styles reflect different depths of formation, spatial relationship to tin granites, and different wall rock/fluid proportions. The deposits contain a similar rare-metal suite that includes Sn (±W, ±Ta, ±Nb), and base-metal suite (Zn–Cu–Pb) is present only in Correas deposit. The early fluid inclusions of the Correas and Oriente Novo deposits are (1) low to moderate-salinity (0–19 wt.% NaCl eq.) CO 2-bearing aqueous fluids homogenizing at 245–450 °C, and (2) aqueous solutions with low CO 2, low to moderate salinity (0–14 wt.% NaCl eq.), which homogenize between 100 and 340 °C. In the Santa Bárbara deposit, the early inclusions are represented by (1) low-salinity (5–12 wt.% NaCl eq.) aqueous fluids with variable CO 2 contents, homogenizing at 340 to 390 °C, and (2) low-salinity (0–3 wt.% NaCl eq.) aqueous fluid inclusions, which homogenize at 320–380 °C. Cassiterite, wolframite, columbite–tantalite, scheelite, and sulfide assemblages accompany these fluids. The late fluid in the Oriente Novo and Correas deposit was a low-salinity (0–6 wt.% NaCl eq.) CO 2-free aqueous solution, which homogenizes at (100–260 °C) and characterizes the sulfide–fluorite–sericite association in the Correas deposit. The late fluid in the Santa Bárbara deposit has lower salinity (0–3 wt.% NaCl eq.) and characterizes the late-barren-quartz, muscovite and kaolinite veins. Oxygen isotope thermometry coupled with fluid inclusion data suggest hydrothermal activity at 240–450 °C, and 1.0–2.6 kbar fluid pressure at Correas and Oriente Novo. The hydrogen isotope composition of breccia-greisen, stockwork, and vein fluids ( δ18O quartz from 9.9‰ to 10.9‰, δD H2O from 4.13‰ to 6.95‰) is consistent with a fluid that was in equilibrium with granite at temperatures from 450 to 240 °C. In the Santa Bárbara deposit, the inferred temperatures for quartz-pods and bed-like greisens are much higher (570 and 500 °C, respectively), and that for the cassiterite-quartz-veins is 415 °C. The oxygen and hydrogen isotope composition of greisen and quartz-pods fluids ( δ18O qtz-H2O=5.5–6.1‰) indicate that the fluid equilibrated with the albite granite, consistent with a magmatic origin. The values for mica ( δ18O mica-H2O=3.3–9.8‰) suggest mixing with meteoric water. Late muscovite veins ( δ18O qtz-H2O=−6.4‰) and late quartz ( δ18O mica-H2O=−3.8‰) indicate involvement of a meteoric fluid. Overall, the stable isotope and fluid inclusion data imply three fluid types: (1) an early orthomagmatic fluid, which equilibrated with granite; (2) a mixed orthomagmatic-meteoric fluid; and (3) a late hydrothermal meteoric fluid. The first two were responsible for cassiterite, wolframite, and minor columbite–tantalite precipitation. Change in the redox conditions related to mixing of magmatic and meteoric fluids favored important sulfide mineralization in the Correas deposit. 相似文献

The Early Devonian Gumeshevo deposit is one of the largest ore objects pertaining to the dioritic model of the porphyry copper
system paragenetically related to the low-K quartz diorite island-arc complex. The ( 87Sr/ 86Sr) t and (ɛ Nd) t of quartz diorite calculated for t = 390 Ma are 0.7038–0.7045 and 5.0–5.1, respectively, testifying to a large contribution of the mantle component to the composition
of this rock. The contents of typomorphic trace elements (ppm) are as follows: 30–48 REE sum, 5–10 Rb, 9–15 Y, and 1–2 Nb.
The REE pattern is devoid of Eu anomaly. Endoskarn of low-temperature and highly oxidized amphibole-epidote-garnet facies
is surrounded by the outer epidosite zone. Widespread retrograde metasomatism is expressed in replacement of exoskarn and
marble with silicate (chlorite, talc, tremolite)-magnetite-quartz-carbonate mineral assemblage. The 87Sr/ 86Sr ratios of epidote in endoskarn and carbonate in retrograde metasomatic rocks (0.7054–0.7058 and 0.7053–0.7065, respectively)
are intermediate between the Sr isotope ratios of quartz dioritic rocks and marble ( 87Sr/ 86Sr = 0.70784 ± 2). Isotopic parameters of the fluid equilibrated with silicates of skarn and retrograde metasomatic rocks
replacing exoskarn at 400°C are δ 18O = +7.4 to +8.5‰ and δD = −49 to −61‰ (relative to SMOW). The δ 13C and δ 18O of carbonates in retrograde metasomatic rocks after marble are −5.3 to +0.6 (relative to PDB) and +13.0 to +20.2% (relative
to SMOW), respectively. Sulfidation completes metasomatism, nonuniformly superimposed on all metasomatic rocks and marbles
with formation of orebodies, including massive sulfide ore. The δ 34S of sulfides is 0 to 2‰ (relative to CDT); 87Sr/ 86Sr of calcite from the late calcite-pyrite assemblage replacing marble is 0.704134 ± 6. The δ 13C and 87Sr/ 86Sr of postore veined carbonates correlate positively ( r = 0.98; n = 6). The regression line extends to the marble field. Its opposite end corresponds to magmatic (in terms of Bowman, 1998b)
calcite with minimal δ 13C, δ 18O, and 87Sr/ 86Sr values (−6.9 ‰, +6.7‰, and 0.70378 ± 4, respectively). The aforementioned isotopic data show that magmatic fluid was supplied
during all stages of mineral formation and interacted with marble and other rocks, changing its Sr, C, and O isotopic compositions.
This confirms the earlier established redistribution of major elements and REE in the process of metasomatism. A contribution
of meteoric and metamorphic water is often established in quartz from postore veins. 相似文献

Investigations on S, C, O, Sr, and Pb isotopes in ores, gangue, and country rocks of the Chaudfontaine ore deposit confirm that interbedded barite and white sparry calcites are cogenetic. They emphasize the marine origin of S and the nonmarine origin of the metals. They underline the important role played by the bacterial reduction at the site of deposition. Hypotheses concerning the source of the metals and the nature of the brines involved in their transportation are briefly discussed. 相似文献

An integrated mineralogical-geochemical and stable isotopic study of Pb-Zn deposits located at Kayar-Ghugra (Zn-Pb ± Ag), Rampura-Agucha (Zn-Pb, Ag), Dariba-Bethumni (Zn-Pb) and Zawar (Pb-Zn ± Cd, Ag) in Rajasthan is presented in this paper. The Kayar Zn-Pb deposit hosted by (i) phlogopite-tremolite bearing dolomitic carbonates and (ii) scapolite bearing calc-silicates, both belonging to Mesoproterozoic Delhi Supergroup exhibit distinctly different δ 13C signatures being close to zero permil for the former reflecting deposition in pristine marine environment and much depleted isotopic values for the latter possibly related to post-depositional alterations. The Zn-Pb sulphides of Agucha, hosted in amphibolite facies to lower granulite facies metasedimentary units belonging to the Bhilwara Supergroup have δ 34S values that indicate (i) H 2S dominated regime characterized by low fO 2, low pH, wherein the δ 34S (fluid) responsible for mineralisation approximates the δ 34S (sulphide); (ii) the role of seawater in the generation of Agucha ores; (iii) the process of a low temperature oxidation of sulphides in the hydrothermal fluids resulting in the formation of sulphate, by the interaction of ground water; (iv) isotopic disequilibrium in sulphatesulphide pairs that explain oxidation of H 2S by acid groundwater (low pH) and deposition of sulphides at higher temperatures and (v) equilibrium isotopic fractionation of the coexisting sulphides reflecting in a higher concentration of H 2S (>10 ?5m) in relation to the total metal content in the hydrothermal fluid $\left( {m_{H_2 S} \geqslant mS_{_{metals} } } \right)$ . Accordingly the concentration of sulphide-sulphate in the hydrothermal solution responsible for the mineralization in Agucha exceeds that of total metals. The sulphides of Bethumni-Rajpura-Dariba belt hosted in low to medium grade siliceous carbonates has a marginally positive (mean of +1.5‰) δ 13C values. At Sindeswar, broad and widely scattered δ 34S values indicate a polymodal sedimentary source of sulphur that recrystallised at rather low temperature of < 50°C possibly during the processes of low temperature bacterial reduction. The C and O-isotopic studies on mineralized and non-mineralized carbonates reveal (i) normal marine depositional signatures for non-mineralized carbonates with possible minor influence of biogenic carbon during deposition and (ii) ore zone carbonates exhibit depleted δ 13C values presumably due either to the deeper mantle-like source of carbonates or due to post-depositional equilibration with isotopically light meteoric waters. In Zawar belt, sulphides hosted in dolomitic carbonate indicated (i) near identical δ 34S values of disseminated galena and pyrite veinlets and depleted values of ?4.6 ‰ for late veins of massive galena of Zawar Mala (ii) pyritepyrrhotite veinlet having enhanced δ 34S values when compared to the PbS-ZnS veinlet in Morchia-Magra, Balaria and Baroi mines. The carbon isotopic values for carbonates of Zawar Mala mine area are mostly depleted and those from Balaria and Baroi mines exhibit values of 13C close to zero. The generally depleted δ 18O clustering around ?15 ‰ tally well with the reported Paleoproterozoic carbonates and is attributed to the post-depositional equilibration reactions with isotopically light meteoric waters. It is summarized that the host carbonates for Zn-Pb deposits occurring in different tectono-stratigraphic units in Rajasthan have largely similar but bimodal distribution of δ 18O and δ 13C isotopic ratios that suggest normal marine values and much depleted values. Whereas the former seems to be in general agreement with the nature of distribution in the Palaeoproterozoic carbonates the latter is attributed to (i) depositional conditions of the basins that includes absence or presence of biogenic activity (ii) isotopic re-equilibration under different metamorphic recrystallization events and/or (iii) interaction with isotopically lighter meteoric waters. In contrast to the uniformity in the C and O distribution pattern, the S-isotopic distribution in the deposits of Rampura-Agucha, Bethumni-Rajpura-Darbia and Zawar mine areas show marked variations reflecting complex deposit-specific ore-forming processes in the said deposits. 相似文献

The Serrinha gold deposit of the Gurupi Belt, northern Brazil, belongs to the class of orogenic gold deposits. The deposit is hosted in highly strained graphitic schist belonging to a Paleoproterozoic (∼2,160 Ma) metavolcano-sedimentary sequence. The ore-zones are up to 11 m thick, parallel to the regional NW–SE schistosity, and characterized by quartz-carbonate-sulfide veinlets and minor disseminations. Textural and structural data indicate that mineralization was syn- to late-tectonic and postmetamorphic. Fluid inclusion studies identified early CO 2 (CH 4-N 2) and CO 2 (CH 4-N 2)-H 2O-NaCl inclusions that show highly variable phase ratios, CO 2 homogenization, and total homogenization temperatures both to liquid and vapor, interpreted as the product of fluid immiscibility under fluctuating pressure conditions, more or less associated with postentrapment modifications. The ore-bearing fluid typically has 18–33mol% of CO 2, up to 4mol% of N 2, and less than 2mol% of CH 4 and displays moderate to high densities with salinity around 4.5wt% NaCl equiv. Mineralization occurred around 310 to 335°C and 1.3 to 3.0 kbar, based on fluid inclusion homogenization temperatures and oxygen isotope thermometry with estimated oxygen fugacity indicating relatively reduced conditions. Stable isotope data on quartz, carbonate, and fluid inclusions suggest that veins formed from fluids with δ 18O H2O and δD H2O (310–335°C) values of +6.2 to +8.4‰ and −19 to −80‰, respectively, which might be metamorphic and/or magmatic and/or mantle-derived. The carbon isotope composition (δ 13C) varies from −14.2 to −15.7‰ in carbonates; it is −17.6‰ in fluid inclusion CO 2 and −23.6‰ in graphite from the host rock. The δ 34S values of pyrite are −2.6 to −7.9‰. The strongly to moderately negative carbon isotope composition of the carbonates and inclusion fluid CO 2 reflects variable contribution of organic carbon to an originally heavier fluid (magmatic, metamorphic, or mantle-derived) at the site of deposition and sulfur isotopes indicate some oxidation of the originally reduced fluid. The deposition of gold is interpreted to have occurred mainly in response to phase separation and fluid-rock interactions such as CO 2 removal and desulfidation reactions that provoked variations in the fluid pH and redox conditions. 相似文献

The Rb-Sr isochron age of igneous ankerite-calcite and siderite carbonatites in central Tuva is estimated at 118 ± 9 Ma. The following ranges of initial values of O, C, Sr, and sulfide and S isotopic compositions were established: δ 18O carb = +(8.8?14.7)‰, δ 13C carb = ?(3.6?4.9)‰, δ 18O quartz = +(11.6?13.7)‰, δ 34S pyrite = +(0.3?1.1)‰, and ( 87Sr/ 86Sr) i =0.7042?0.7048 for ankerite-calcite carbonatite and δ 18O sid = +(9.2?12.4)‰, δ 13C sid = ?(3.9?5.9)‰, δ 18O quartz = +(11.2?11.4)‰, δ 34S pyrite = ?(4.4–1.8)‰, δ 34S sulfate = +(8.6?14.5)‰, and ( 87Sr/ 86Sr) i = 0.7042?0.7045 for siderite carbonatite. The obtained isotopic characteristics indicate that both varieties of carbonatites are cognate and their mantle source is comparable with the sources of Late Mesozoic carbonatites in the western Transbaikal region and Mongolia. The revealed heterogeneity of isotopic compositions of carbonatites is caused by their contamination with country rocks, replacement with hydrothermal celestine, and supergene alteration. 相似文献
