辽宁古元古代地体中富电气石岩石的成因：蒸发岩硼源的证据

辽宁东部古元古界底部地层(南辽河群)中赋存着大型的硼酸盐矿床，含矿层位中广泛分布含电气石的变粒岩和电英岩。空间上这些含电气石的岩石与硼酸盐有着密切的联系，电气石可以作为区域硼矿找矿的标志。已有研究结果表明，该地区的硼酸盐矿床是变质蒸发岩成因。本研究对该区不同产状的电气石和硼酸盐的地质特征，全岩和矿物成分、硼同位素组成进行了分析。本区的电气石包括层状和脉状两大类，而电气石的富集与硼酸盐关系密切，电英岩往往分布在硼酸盐矿体的上盘。而矿体的下盘一般不产出富电气石的岩石。当长英质脉体穿过硼酸盐矿体时，脉体中往往会富集电气石。含电气石岩石的全岩地球化学分析表明，它们的REE及其他微量元素特征以及相关性关系与周围不含电气石的同类岩石十分相似，反映出一种成因上的联系。本区电气石主要属于镁电气石一铁电气石系列，靠近硼矿体的电气石比远离硼矿体的电气石更加富镁，有着更高的Mg／Fe比值。电气石和硼酸盐的硼同位素成分分析显示出二者在同位素组成上的相似性，前者比后者的δ^11B稍低，这可能是由于热液活动过程中同位素分馏的结果。电气石的硼同位素组成在空间上显示出变化规律：远离硼酸盐矿体的电气石的δ^11B值(-5．2‰- 3．6‰)比矿体附近的电气石低(平均 10．5‰)。以上空间和成分上的关系表明硼酸盐可能是形成电气石主要的硼来源，电气石是在热液过程中通过淋滤下伏含硼蒸发岩中的硼形成含硼热液，在与上覆沉积物交代过程中形成含电气石岩石。电气石的条带是热液顺层选择交代的结果。本区电气石与硼酸盐的关系表明，层状电气石可以通过含硼热液交代的方式形成。变质地体中的层状电气石岩石的出现可能与变质蒸发岩有关。这一认识对区域硼矿勘查工作和变质地体的沉积环境分析有借鉴意义。     

SEDEX型矿床中电气石岩的地质特征及找矿意义

电气石岩是一种富硼的硅质喷气岩,主要产于以沉积岩为容矿岩石的喷气矿床中及附近。研究广泛认为其与喷流-沉积型块状硫化物矿床(SEDEX矿床)有着密切的关系,并被视为该类矿床找矿勘探的标志岩性之一。综述了电气石岩的产出环境、形态、岩石学、地球化学等地质特征,分析了电气石岩的沉积环境及成因。以澳大利亚布罗肯希尔地区电气石岩与矿化的关系为例,对其地质找矿意义进行了总结与展望。     

东南极拉斯曼丘陵富硼岩系中硅硼镁铝矿-柱晶石-电气石矿物的硼同位素组成及其意义

东南极拉斯曼丘陵地区麻粒岩相岩石中出露一套罕见的含硅硼镁铝矿-柱晶石-电气石矿物组合的富硼岩系.由于高级变质作用已使原岩的性质难以确定,变质原岩及其形成环境的恢复变得十分困难,而硼同位素组成则可以作为判定硼来源的有效示踪剂和指相标志.报道了东南极拉斯曼丘陵硅硼镁铝矿-柱晶石-电气石富硼岩系的硼同位素组成资料,其δ11B值变化范围为-12.0‰～-34.6‰,硼同位素的低比值和其他地质证据表明,其原岩为非海相蒸发硼酸盐岩.     

碎屑电气石的LA-MC-ICPMS硼同位素原位微区分析及其源区示踪:以哀牢山构造带为例

硼同位素在自然界中变化范围很大,可以用于研究宇宙星云形成过程、地球壳幔演化、板块俯冲以及判别沉积环境、矿床成因,水环境地球化学和重建古海洋环境等。电气石是自然界中最重要的含硼矿物,是理想的硼同位素分析对象。本文利用中国科学院广州地球化学研究所开发的电气石LA-MC-ICPMS硼同位素分析方法,以哀牢山构造带志留系-泥盆系碎屑岩为例,阐述了碎屑电气石的硼同位素对源区示踪的意义。利用一台Neptune Plus多接收等离子体质谱仪连接一台RESOlution M-50准分子(193 nm)激光剥蚀进样系统,采用标样-样品-标样交叉法校正仪器分馏,以国际电气石标样IAEA B4为外部标准,中国地质科学院矿产资源研究所IMR RB1实验室标样为未知样,检验了该方法的可靠性和准确度。IMR RB1的δ11B测试结果为(–13.34±0.20)‰(1σ,n=25),与之前报道的结果(–12.96±0.49)‰(1σ)在误差范围一致。哀牢山构造带古特提斯缝合线两侧的志留系-泥盆系沉积岩中的碎屑电气石硼同位素分析结果表明缝合线两侧碎屑电气石δ11B值具有明显的差异,思茅一侧的碎屑电气石来源比较复杂,主要峰值在–13‰~–18‰之间,部分电气石的硼同位素体系可能受到了非海相蒸发岩、变质流体或者岩浆演化后期强烈的岩浆去气作用的影响。扬子一侧碎屑电气石主要峰值在–13‰~–11‰,来源相对比较单一,源区可能受到俯冲流体的影响。这些结果与我们之前的碎屑锆石U-Pb年龄数据一致,指示哀牢山古特提斯缝合线两侧物源在志留纪泥盆纪时代存在显著差异。     

澳大利亚布罗肯希尔地区电气石岩的成因和意义

在布罗肯希尔地区的早元古代维利亚马(Willyama)超群中,富电气石岩石是分布广而数量少的岩石。电气石集中产在层控和局部层状电气石岩、变质碎屑沉积岩、石英—锌尖晶石脉岩、层状 Pb-Zn-Ag 硫化物矿石、石榴石英岩、层控白钨矿矿床、石英-电气石结核、不整合石英脉和花岗伟晶岩内。大部分富电气石岩是产在赋主要 Pb-Zn-Ag的布罗肯希尔群内。在 Globe 矿山,沿主矿脉的西北端,电气石与 Pb-Zn-Ag 矿化紧密共生,在一些地方与富锰石榴石石英岩互层。在局部地方,方铅矿和其他矿石矿物是产在这些电气石岩中的重结晶电气石颗粒的核心,表明电气石和硫化物是在变形和高级变质作用之前已存在     

辽宁后仙峪硼矿区混合岩的LA-MC-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年龄：对硼矿成矿演化的制约

辽东硼矿赋存于辽吉裂谷带的古元古代火山—沉积岩系之中,属沉积—变质型硼矿床,主矿区包括有后仙峪硼镁矿、翁泉沟硼铁矿和砖庙—杨木杆硼镁矿,一直以来是我国硼矿石的主产地。本次研究在后仙峪硼矿区采集了矿区外围的条痕状混合花岗岩(DSQ-08)和矿体上盘侵位于电英岩之中的含电气石混合花岗岩(HXY-19),挑选出其中的锆石单矿物进行LA-MC-ICP-MS测年。条痕状混合花岗岩中锆石的核部具有岩浆振荡环带,Th/U值为0.64~0.96,~(207)Pb/~(206)Pb年龄为2240±4Ma;含电气石混合花岗岩中锆石的内核和边部均具有极为清晰的岩浆振荡环带,Th/U值分别为0.12~1.05和0.41~1.08,~(207)Pb/~(206)Pb年龄分别记录了2157±6Ma和1932±26Ma两次锆石生长事件。含电气石的混合花岗岩的锆石边部形成于混合岩化过程之中,记录了辽河群下部岩石在1.9Ga左右发生的部分熔融作用事件,具有重要的地质意义。矿区外围的条痕状混合花岗岩和矿体周缘含电气石混合花岗岩的核部岩浆年龄较为接近,说明两种岩石可能均由古元古代的火山—沉积岩,在1.9Ga左右经部分熔融作用形成。因此,结合前人在后仙峪硼矿区内进行的硼同位素地球化学和岩相学方面的研究成果,我们认为后仙峪硼矿区混合花岗岩的锆石核部U-Pb年龄可基本确定辽吉裂谷早期的超基性火山岩和酸性火山岩的喷发、海相蒸发沉积事件均发生于2240~2157Ma左右,该时期的蒸发沉积作用初步形成硼酸盐矿;后期强烈的部分熔融和混合岩化作用发生在1932±26Ma,在超基性火山岩保护下,硼矿发生变质和小规模的迁移,形成了硼镁矿、硼镁铁矿及矿体周缘的电英岩和含电气石混合花岗岩。     

高压-超高压变质电气石研究的现状和进展

本文总结了近年来有关高压-超高压变质电气石的研究成果,并在此基础上指出未来该领域的重点研究方向.电气石是一种分布广泛的矿物.实验证明其稳定存在的温度大于850℃,压力大于4 GPa.由于较慢的空间扩散作用、复杂的成分替代关系和较高的环境敏感度,电气石可以保存完好的生长环带.这有助于我们分析同位素演化、变质流体成分、岩石变质历史等.高压-超高压电气石结构化学研究表明电气石结构中的某些元素含量(如Al和F含量)和矿物的形成温度具有很好的相关性.根据不同的硼同位素来源,高压-超高压变质电气石的生长模型可以分为A型电气石、B型电气石和C型电气石.通过分析出露在全球各地的代表性高压-超高压变质电气石,其特征总体表现为:①多为镁电气石;②X晶位具有很高的占位率(＞0.8 pfu);③化学结构中硼元素具有过量特征(3.2～3.3 pfu);④Ti、Mn、Li、Cl含量很低;⑤硼同位素成分的变化范围为:-16％ ＜δ11B＜+ 1‰.未来高压-超高压变质电气石的研究重点应该放在电气石晶体化学和变质p-t条件的关系、电气石-流体之间微量元素的分异作用以及含硼矿物组合的相平衡模拟等.     

藏东西藏岩的电气石

西藏岩是以发现地命名的一类新火成岩,相当于电英质火山岩。作为西藏岩最重要 造岩矿物之一的电气石,以其独特的产状、结构和构造等,显著有别于深成岩、交代岩和富电气石岩的电气石。所研究电气石产出的宏观、微观地质特征并借鉴富硼添加剂花岗岩体系 的岩石学实验资料表明,赋存在西藏岩内的电气石,大多数是由一类富硼和水的酸性岩浆- 热液过渡流体（但其总性质偏岩浆,即佤山岩浆）,因近地表和内压大于外压,引发在一个较大而有限空间内隐爆、爆破,骤然冷凝结晶,并同石英及其晶屑一起胶结爆破角砾;佤山岩浆溢出期间,电气石与石英可各自聚集结晶并形成韵律状“层纹”。     

澳大利亚与元三古代海底喷气矿床伴生的电气石岩

在绿片岩、角闪岩和麻粒岩和变质岩层中，电气石岩和富电气石的沉积物与喷气矿化伴生，它们遭受了中等到强烈的变形，呈连续层状分布于褶皱构造附近，显示出诸如层理、递变层理、交错层理、层内滑动等沉积构造和拉裂构造。在高级变质作用区，它们显示变质结构，通常被再活化而成的石英－电气石脉所穿切。富电气石岩出现在由海底喷气而形成的Pb－Zn－Ag、Cu－Co、Cu－Bi、W、Sn、Au和稀土元素矿化的下部、内部及矿化之上，且在横向上与矿化同期的地层中。在一些地方，电气石岩没有上述矿化现象，也不与花岗质岩石相伴生。电气石的成分是黑电气石－镁电气石，虽反映了其全岩成分，但不能作为矿化的标志。虽然电气石是与花岗岩、交代岩、角砾岩简伴生的普通矿物，但本文描述的富电气石层为山硅电气石前身的变质作用产生的富硼硅质铁建造。它们是一种常见的喷气岩类型，并且常常出现在早－中元古代厚层的泥质变沉积岩和蒸发岩层序中。这就说明硼是由含硼的粘土的淋滤作用或由含硼酸盐的蒸发岩的淋滤作用产生的。     

中条山地区铜矿峪斑岩铜钼矿床电气石硼同位素特征

硼同位素由于其稳定性,可以作为很好的源区示踪工具。本次采用LA-MC-ICP-MS方法对铜矿峪变斑岩型铜钼矿床绢英岩化带中的电气石硼同位素进行了原位测试。获得δ11 B值为-21.1‰~1.1‰,数据分布显示为相对富轻硼的(-16‰~-14‰)和相对富重硼的(-1.5‰~1.5‰)两个峰值。结合前人硼同位素储库比对分析,铜矿峪铜钼矿床显示了大陆热液系统的硼同位素组成特征。铜矿峪铜钼矿床富轻硼的峰值特征很可能由火山岩围岩提供。相对富重硼峰值很可能是铜矿峪成矿花岗闪长斑岩和花岗闪长岩提供。铜矿峪铜钼矿床的电气石硼同位素特征相对于其他斑岩型铜矿床及IOCG矿床明显更富集轻硼,显示了该矿床成矿中有大量陆壳的硼加入。     

Tourmalinites from the Eastern Sierras Pampeanas, Argentina

In the eastern Sierras Pampeanas, Central Argentina, tourmalinites and coticules are found in close association with stratabound scheelite deposits in metamorphic terranes. In Sierra Grande (Agua de Ramón and Ambul districts) and Sierra de Altautina, tourmalinites are associated with stratabound scheelite deposits related to orthoamphibolites. In the Pampa del Tamboreo area, tourmalinites are located in biotite schists stratigraphically related to acid to intermediate metavolcanic rocks and scheelite-bearing quartzites.The mineral chemistry and boron isotopic compositions of tourmalinite-hosted and vein-hosted tourmalines are investigated. Overall, the tourmalines belong to the dravite-schorl series and are generally aluminous; Fe/(Fe+Mg) ranges from 0.33 to 0.85, Al/(Al+Fe+Mg) from 0.66 to 0.76 and the amount of X-site vacancy (0.12–0.48) indicates significant foitite components. Their boron isotopic compositions (δ¹¹B) are from −24.0‰ to−15.0‰.Similar mineral chemistries and boron isotopic values for tourmaline in tourmalinites related to stratabound scheelite mineralisation and in tungsten-bearing quartz veins suggest a common source for the boron and probably the tungsten. The field, chemical and isotopic relationships are consistent with tungsten and boron in quartz-vein deposits being remobilised from stratabound scheelite and tourmalinite, dominantly by liquid-state transfer associated with regional shear zones. Tungsten and boron in the original sedimentary sequence (now meta-exhalites) are ascribed to volcanogenic exhalations.     

Tourmalinization related to Late Proterozoic-Early Palaeozoic lode gold mineralization in the Bin Yauri area, Nigeria

Three types of tourmaline occurrence have been identified in the area of Bin Yauri, Nigeria, mesothermal lode-gold mineralization. These are: (1) stratabound tourmalinites in pelitic metasediments, (2) tourmaline in a hydrothermal alteration assemblage within hornfelsed wall rocks, (3) tourmaline in auriferous quartz and quartz-carbonate veins. Although the tourmaline occurrences are all within or close to the contact aureole of a granodiorite intrusion, geochemical characteristics of the tourmalines are broadly similar and reflect a common metasedimentary source. Two stages of tourmalinization are envisaged. The earlier (ca. 1100 Ma) involved syngenetic-diagenetic formation of tourmalinites, while the later (ca. 500 Ma) involved epigenetic (hydrothermal) tourmaline-gold mineralization, possibly derived by dehydration and devolatilization of metasedimentary sequences containing tourmaline-rich rocks or tourmalinites. Electron microprobe analyses indicate that the tourmalines are intermediate members of the schorl-dravite solid solution series. Plots involving FeO, MgO, and/or Al₂O₃ from these analyses are used to constrain the sources and processes of tourmalinization. Two metallogenic implications are derived from this study. One is that, although the tourmalinites are barren of gold and base metal mineralization, their occurrences nevertheless encourages exploration for syngenetic-exhalative massive sulphide deposits in the region. The other implication applies to the potential use of tourmaline in deciphering the physico-chemical conditions of gold-mineralizing fluids in the Bin Yauri area.     

Tourmalinites and Sn-Li mineralization in the Valdeflores area (Cáceres,Spain)

Summary Tourmalinites containing quartz, Li- and Cs-micas, and small amounts of arsenopyrite occur near Cáceres, Spain. The tourmalinites are developed within Ordovician pelites near the eastern margin of the Cabeza de Araya batholith and close to several small bodies of tectonized granite. Field and textural relationships document an epigenetic character for the tourmalinites. The tourmaline is fine to very fine-grained and its composition is intermediate within the schorl-dravite solid-solution series. Hydrothermal veins containing quartz, muscovite, amblygonite-montebrasite, apatite, fluorite, and/or cassiterite appear spatially related to the tourmalinites. The mineralized area is located in a shear zone that was active during D₃ Hercynian deformation and the emplacement of granitic bodies. Tourmalinites and veins derived from B- and Li-rich magmatic-hydrothermal fluids are believed to have been associated with the intrusion of a hidden granite dome, the tourmalinites being produced by extensive metasomatism of Ordovician metasedimentary rocks.

Turmalinite and Sn-Li-Vererzungen im Valdeflores Gebiet (Cáceres, Spanien)

Zusammenfassung Turmalinite, die Quarz, Li- und Cs-Glimmer, sowie geringe Mengen an Arsenkies führen, kommen in der Ne von Cáceres, Spanien, vor. Sie sind an ordovizische Metapelite in der Nähe des Cabeza de Araya Batholiths und kleinere tektonisierte Granitkörper gebunden. Eine epigenetische Genese der Turmalinite ist auf Grund von Feldbeziehungen und texturellen Beobachtungen belegt. Die Zusammensetzung der sehr feinkörnigen Turmaline entspricht intermediären Gliedern der Schörl-Dravit- Reihe. Hydrothermale Gänge mit Quarz, Muskowit, Amblygonit-Montebrasit, Apatit, Fluorit und/oder Zinnstein treten benachbart zu den Turmaliniten auf. Der mineralisierte Bereich ist an eine Scherzone gebunden, die während der hercynischen D3 Deformation und der Platznahme der Granite aktiv war. Turmalinite und Gänge lassen sich genetisch von magmatisch-hydrothermalen Fluiden ableiten, die mit der Intrusion eines nicht aufgeschlossenen Granitdomes zusammenhängen. Die Turmalinite sind das Produkt einer weiträumigen Metasomatose der ordovizischen Metasedimente.

Petrographic, Chemical and B-Isotopic Insights into the Origin of Tourmaline-Rich Rocks and Boron Recycling in the Martinamor Antiform (Central Iberian Zone, Salamanca, Spain)

Tourmaline in the Martinamor antiform occurs in tourmalinites(rocks with >15–20% tourmaline by volume), clasticmetasedimentary rocks of the Upper Proterozoic Monterrubio formation,quartz veins, pre-Variscan orthogneisses and Variscan graniticrocks. Petrographic observations, back-scattered electron (BSE)images, and microprobe data document a multistaged developmentof tourmaline. Overall, variations in the Mg/(Mg + Fe) ratiosdecrease from tourmalinites (0·36–0·75),through veins (0·38–0·66) to granitic rocks(0·23–0·46), whereas Al increases in thesame order from 5·84–6·65 to 6·22–6·88apfu. The incorporation of Al into tourmaline is consistentwith combinations of ^xAl(NaR)_–1 and AlO(R(OH))_–1exchange vectors, where ^x represents X-site vacancy and R is(Mg + Fe²⁺ + Mn). Variations in ^x/(^x + Na) ratios are similarin all the types of tourmaline occurrences, from 0·10to 0·53, with low Ca-contents (mostly <0·10apfu). Based on field and textural criteria, two groups of tourmaline-richrocks are distinguished: (1) pre-Variscan tourmalinites (probablyCadomian), affected by both deformation and regional metamorphismduring the Variscan orogeny; (2) tourmalinites related to thesynkinematic granitic complex of Martinamor. Textural and geochemicaldata are consistent with a psammopelitic parentage for the protolithof the tourmalinites. Boron isotope analyses of tourmaline havea total range of ¹¹B values from –15·6 to 6·8;the lowest corresponding to granitic tourmalines (–15·6to –11·7) and the highest to veins (1·9to 6·8). Tourmalines from tourmalinites have intermediate¹¹B values of –8·0 to +2·0. The observedvariations in ¹¹B support an important crustal recycling ofboron in the Martinamor area, in which pre-Variscan tourmaliniteswere remobilized by a combination of mechanical and chemicalprocesses during Variscan deformation, metamorphism and anatexis,leading to the formation of multiple tourmaline-bearing veinsand a new stage of boron metasomatism. KEY WORDS: tourmalinites; metamorphic and granitic rocks; mineral chemistry; whole-rock chemistry; boron isotopes     

Boron-polymetallic metallogeny of the north and northeast of the Sino-Korean Craton

Based on published data and original investigations, it has been shown that the combination of widely known Ag, Fe, and Fe-Mn ore deposits, as well as boron and Pb-Zn world-class deposits, is typical for metallogenic zones in the north and northeast of the Sino-Korean Craton. The ore genesis was spatially inherited and lasted from the Archean to Mesozoic. The Archean metallogenic zones are related to the protocontinental margin terranes of the craton basement and they comprise banded iron ore and Cu-Zn sulfide deposits. The proterozoic-Early Paleozoic metallogenic zones are related to rift basins, where the ore-bearing Archean folded basement is overlain by volcanic and sedimentary complexes. The Proterozoic metallogenic zones host quartz veins and schistosity zone-related Au deposits, banded iron and Cu-Zn ore deposits, large sedimentary-metamorphogenic borate and magnesite deposits, Cu-W deposits in tourmalinites, exhalation-sedimentary Pb-Zn ore deposits, and large polygenic REE-Fe-Nb ore deposits. The Riphean-Cambrian terrigenous-carbonate strata are represented by stratiform Pb-Zn and fluorite deposits. Mesozoic metallogenic zones related to volcano-plutonic complexes of intraplate series coincide with zones where the folded basement is made of Precambrian ore-bearing series. Gold deposits are typical of all the metallogenic zones, but most of them are related to Mesozoic volcano-plutonic complexes.     

Tourmalinite as a potential host rock for gold in the Caledonides of Southeast Ireland

Initial investigations designed to test the potential for gold in a series of lithologies associated with tourmalinites and coticules in the neighbourhood of the Caledonian Leinster Granite of southeast Ireland are reported. The results of geological mapping, geochemical analyses and panning of stream sediments indicate that significant levels of gold are associated with some tourmalinite zones. The possible exploration implication of this work is that tourmalinites have potential as target indicators, although secondary controls on mineralization are also important.     

Zircon SHRIMP U‐Pb Dating of the Tourmalinites from Boron‐bearing Series of Borate Deposits in Eastern Liaoning and its Geological Implications

This paper focused on the zircon sensitive high resolution ion micro-probeU-Pb geochronology of the tourmalinites from boron-bearing series of borate deposits in Eastern Liaoning. The zircons commonly have core-rim structures, most cores show oscillatory zoning in cathodoluminescence and plane polarized light images, suggesting a magmatic detrital origin. Ages of the magmatic detrital zircons from the hyalotourmalite samples (N13) and (N14) are 2175?±?5??Ma and 2171?±?9??Ma, respectively. Moreover, metamorphic zircon from the sample (N13) shows an age of 1906?±?4??Ma. Zircon core and rim from the hyalotourmalite sample (N02) record ages of 2171?±?6??Ma and 1889?±?62??Ma, which are explained as indicating the formation and metamorphic ages. Combined with the geological and geochemical studies, it can be concluded that the tourmalinites are formed during sedimentary exhalative mineralizations in the mid-Paleoproterozoic (~2170?Ma) and underwent the metamorphism in the late-Paleoproterozoic (~1900?Ma). The tourmalinites are the products of submarine acid volcanism in the extension rifting phase of the Liaoji Paleoproterozoic Rift, the rock-forming materials of which are derived from the mantle sources with recycling crustal contamination. The emergence of tourmalinites not only indicates the mid-Paleoproterozoic tectonic-magmatic processes, but also provides impetus, heat and material sources for the mineralization of borate deposits in Eastern Liaoning.     

Tourmaline in Proterozoic Massive Sulfide Deposits from Rajasthan, India

We have analyzed the chemical composition and boron isotope composition of tourmaline from tourmalinites, granite and a quartz-tourmaline vein from the Deri ore zone and from a pegmatitic band in the Rampura-Agucha ore body. These two Proterozoic massive sulfide deposits occur in the Aravalli-Delhi orogenic belt, Rajasthan, northwest India. Tourmaline from stratiform tourmalinites closely associated with the massive sulfides in the Deri deposit have preserved their original chemical compositions despite regional and thermal metamorphism in the area. These tourmalines have low Fe/(Fe + Mg) ratios (0.19–0.30; mean 0.26) that suggest formation close to the sediment-sea water interface. The δ¹¹B values (−15.5 and −16.4‰) are compatible with boron derived from leaching of argillaceous sediments and/or felsic volcanics underlying the original massive sulfide deposit during its formation. Boron isotope compositions measured in tourmaline from a post-ore granite and quartz-tourmaline vein in the Deri deposit indicate that boron in these tourmalines was derived from the tourmalinites produced during ore formation. The boron isotope systematics of a coarse brown tourmaline crystal from a pegmatitic band on the hanging wall contact of the Rampura-Agucha deposit indicate that 45 ± 25% of the boron within the original tourmaline was lost during upper amphibolite facies regional metamorphism.

辽东古元古宙成矿带中的变质蒸发岩及其意义

辽宁东部－吉林南部的古元古宙变质岩系中存在一些成分特殊的岩石。这些岩石的出现与蒸发岩有关，其突出特征是富含K、Na、B、Mg等组分。蒸发岩是特殊环境下（干旱气候）的沉积产物，其物质组成以Na、K、Ca的盐类矿物为主，还可含硼酸盐等组分。识别蒸发岩，尤其是变质蒸发岩的标志可以归纳为以下几点：（1）岩相及岩性组合；（2）特殊的岩石产状和组构；（3）高盐度的流体包裹体溶液和（4）硼、磷等同位素数据。辽东古元古宙大型硼矿床中电气石岩与硼酸盐之间的密切 成因关系提供了认识SEDEX型金属矿床中广泛分布的电气石岩和成矿流体成因的钥匙。
