It is shown that siderite is unstable during sedimentation, diagenesis, and metamorphism of sedimentary and volcanosedimentary rocks. Regularities in the distribution of siderite in Precambrian jaspilites (iron formations), metasomatic ores of the Bakal type, continental–marine coaliferous formations, and oolitic iron ores are discussed. The genesis of the Precambrian iron formations and Riphean–Lower Paleozoic elisional–hydrothermal deposits is considered. The genetic relation of nodular siderites from coaliferous formations and oolitic iron ores with lowmoor coal-forming peat deposits is noted. 相似文献

Ironstone is any chemical sedimentary rock with > 15% Fe. An iron formation is a stratigraphic unit which is composed largely of ironstone. The solutes which have precipitated to become ironstone have dissolved from the Earth's surface, from the upper crust, e.g. the basaltic layer of oceanic crust, or from deeper within the Earth. Genetic modellers generally choose between surficial weathering, e.g. soil formation, and hydrothermal fluids which have convected through the upper kilometre of oceanic crust. Most genetic modellers attribute cherty laminated iron formations to hydrothermal convection and noncherty oolitic iron formations to surficial weathering. However, both types of iron formations are attributable to the exhalation of fluids from a source region too deep for convection of seawater. Evidence for a deep source of ferriferous fluids comes from a comparison of ancient ironstone with modern ferriferous sediment in coastal Venezuela. A deep-source origin for ironstone has wide-ranging implications for the origins of other chemical sedimentary ores, e.g. phosphorite, manganostone, bedded magnesite, sedimentary uranium ore, various karst-filling ores, and even petroleum. Preliminary study of a modern oolitic iron deposit described herein suggests that the source of iron and silica to iron formations may have been even deeper than envisioned within most hydrothermal convection models. 相似文献

The weathering crust developed after the Precambrian crystalline basement in the Kaliningrad district is characterized on the basis of detailed mineralogical, geochemical, and isotopic investigations of the core material from deep wells. The Late Proterozoic age and zoned structure of the weathering crust is substantiated. The weathering crust is divided into the structural eluvium, hydromicaceous, and kaolinitic zones. After the replacement of a humid climate by the hot arid climate in the terminal Late Proterozoic, the kaolinitic weathering crust was dolomitized under the influence of mineralized waters. In the Early Cambrian, the Precambrian crust was partly eroded and its products (quartz sandstones with kaolinitic matrix, kaolinitic argillites, and oolitic iron ores) were redeposited in Lower and Middle Cambrian sediments of the Kaliningrad district. 相似文献

Near the OntarioMinnesota boundary, the middle Precambriansedimentary Gunflint Iron Formation has been contact metamorphosedby the Duluth Complex to the pyroxene hornfels facies. Threemetamorphic zones have been recognized based on mineralogicalchanges observed within the aureole; a fourth zone correspondsto essentially unmetamorphosed iron formation. Each zone maybe recognized by the dominant iron silicate present: zone 1greenalitezone (unmetamorphosed), zone 2minnesotaite zone (slightlymetamorphosed), zone 3grunerite zone (moderately metamorphosed),zone4ferrohypersthene zone (highly metamorphosed). Granule bearing cherty rocks of zone 2 are characterized bythe reduction of hematite to magnetite and reaction of greenaliteand siderite to minnesotaite ± magnetite. Relict texturesare well preserved in zone 2 and retrograde reactions are minimal.Grunerite first appears in banded slaty rocks of zone 3. Slatygrunerite formed principally by reaction between carbonate andstilpnomelane, while in cherty rocks grunerite formed by reactionbetween greenalite and silica. Original bulk chemical differencesbetween cherty and slaty iron formation is reflected by amphibolechemistry as shown by the higher Al content and lower Fe/Fe+ Mg ratio of slaty grunerite, and by the greater ahundanceof Na, Al-bearing amphiboles such as ferrotschermakite in slatyrocks. Hedenbergite and fayalite appear in the upper part ofzone 3; both formed by silication of carbonates and both arepartially retrograded to amphibole. Prograde grunerite-cummingtoniteis partially replaced by minnesotaite in cherty rocks of zones3 and 4. In zone 4, greenalite and siderite-bearing assemblagesreacted to ferrohypersthene, fayalite (±quartz), pigeoniteand grunerite-cummingtonite. Retrogradation is widespread andresulted mainly in the formation of grunerite. Primary textureswere destroyed in slaty rocks but are still recognizable incherty rocks. Preservation of sedimentary textures within the contact aureoleis a characteristic feature of cherty rocks. In zone l theserocks typically consist of the following textural-mineralogicalassociation: granules (greenalite, quartz, hematite), cement(quartz, siderite, ankerite, calcite) and mottles (various carbonates).Retention of these textural elements, combined with compositionaldata for assemblages in the low to moderate grade rocks, enablesidentification of numerous metamorphic reactions. In the absenceof relict phases or relict textures sedimentary assemblagescan sometimes be inferred from abundances of minor elementssuch as Al and Mn. In some slaty rocks the presence of carbonaceous or graphiticmaterial has preserved perfectly premetamorphic structures suchas siderite spherules and ankerite rhombs, enabling the recognitionof several amphibole-forming reactions. Chemographic analysis of simplified subsystems for cherty rocksof zone 1, zone 2, and the lower part of zone 3, are consistentwith observed assemblages and reactions. 相似文献

Siderite formation and evolution of sedimentary iron ore deposition in the Earth’s history 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The role of siderite in Phanerozoic and Precambrian iron formations is discussed. Various types of iron formations are characterized, and their place in the evolution of sedimentary iron ore deposition is outlined. In Precambrian iron ore deposition, siderite is a primary mineral, whereas in Phanerozoic iron formations it becomes a secondary mineral and is commonly related to diagenetic and catagenetic processes. 相似文献

The Ljubija siderite deposits, hosted by a Carboniferous sedimentary complex within the Inner Dinarides, occur as stratabound
replacement-type ore bodies in limestone blocks and as siderite–sulfides veins in shale. Three principal types of ore textures
have been recognized including massive dark siderite and ankerite, siderite with zebra texture, and siderite veins. The ore
and host rocks have been investigated by a combination of inorganic (major, trace, and rare earth element concentrations),
organic (characterization of hydrocarbons including biomarkers), and stable isotope geochemical methods (isotope ratios of
carbonates, sulfides, sulfates, kerogen, and individual hydrocarbons). New results indicate a marine origin of the host carbonates
and a hydrothermal–metasomatic origin of the Fe mineralization. The differences in ore textures (e.g., massive siderite, zebra
siderite) are attributed to physicochemical variations (e.g., changes in acidity, temperature, and/or salinity) of the mineralizing
fluids and to the succession and intensity of replacement of host limestone. Vein siderite was formed by precipitation from
hydrothermal fluids in the late stage of mineralization. The equilibrium fractionation of stable isotopes reveals higher formation
temperatures for zebra siderites (around 245°C) then for siderite vein (around 185°C). Sulfur isotope ratios suggest Permian
seawater or Permian evaporites as the main sulfur source. Fluid inclusion composition confirms a contribution of the Permian
seawater to the mineralizing fluids and accord with a Permian mineralization age. Organic geochemistry data reflect mixing
of hydrocarbons at the ore site and support the hydrothermal–metasomatic origin of the Ljubija iron deposits. 相似文献

繁昌桃冲铁矿成因探讨 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The problems of the formation conditions for stratiform skarns and the genesis of the Taochong iron deposits are dealt with in this paper. Following is a summary of this discussion: 1. Stratiform skarns in this area occur in carbonate rocks of the Upper and Middle Carboniferous Period and the lower part of the Permian Qixia Group. No outcropping or concealed igneous bodies have ever been found, let alone any indications of an igneous contact zone or a corresponding zonality from "dry" skarn to "wet" skarn. The mineral facies and zonation of the skarns depend predominantly on the properties of the initial host rocks, and the development of skarns seems to have had much to do with chemical potential of silicon in these host rocks. As a result of the reaction of iron-bearing carbonates with siliceous materials in the rocks, iron-bearing silicates were formed, which in turn were transformed by pneumato-hydrothermal processes of the later stage. The stratiform skarns of this area, therefore, probably fall into the category of stratabound skarns subjected to transformation of thermometamorphism. 2. The iron deposits bear undisputable stratabound characteristics. The positions of ore-bearing beds and the petrological features as well as the mineral associations all point to a sedimentary ore-forming process of iron-carbonate (siderite). The presumption of siderite ore source is supported by the following facts: (l) Remnants of sedimentary siderite which survived the metamorphism have recently been observed in magnetite ore from neighbouring Xinqiao mining area. Siderite can have as many as 12.07% Fe++ and, after corrosion, shows oolitic texture. (2) The ore is mainly of calcite/ dolomite- magnetite type. Mineral associations are quite simple and sulfides are rarely seen. (3) A comparison of the analytical data suggests that the content of organic carbon in iron ore decreases due to oxidation caused by metamorphism but is still higher than that in magnetite of contact- metasomatic skarn. (4) The paleogeographic reconstruction shows that this area was once an ancient underwater uplift favorable for the precipitation of iron carbonates. After its formation, the siderate bed underwent thermodynamic metamorphism and was hence decomposed into magnetite, which was then subjected to the superimposed transformation by subsequent hydrothermal fluids, leading to the partial activation and migration of iron matter and thus the formation of such ore as hematite (specularite) at shallow depth of the Changlongshan mining area. In brief, this deposit has a complex genesis: it experienced sedimentation, thermal metamorphism and transformation by hydrothermal fluids. 相似文献

Pressure solution and vein formation often occur simultaneously in shear zones during the deformation of sedimentary rocks. The mineralogical and chemical variations around a typical example of an en echelon zone of quartz veins from north Cornwall are discussed in detail. Solution of quartz is confined to the shear zone and occurs along discrete surfaces. Accumulation of insoluble minerals along these surfaces gives rise to spaced pressure solution cleavage. Petrographic data show that during pressure solution the breakdown of felspar and epidote results in the crystallisation of clay mineral, quartz and siderite. Redistribution of silica within the shear zone by pressure solution does not account for all the quartz in the veins, or for the observed increased concentration of iron and calcium. It is concluded that material was introduced from an external source into the shear zone. 相似文献

Are cement minerals that form during the first stages of diagenesis indicative of the environment of deposition? Discussions of fluvial, marine, and evaporitic sandstones of Triassic and Upper Carboniferous age (fig. 1) indicate that kaolinite, sudoite, and potassium feldspar cements can be regarded as characteristic of freshwater sandstones, whereas (early) chlorite, analcime and albite cements are found in marine and evaporitic sandstones mainly, provided that influences of meteoric water during diagenesis can be excluded. Humid climate favors kaolinite, arid favors potassium feldspar. Early diagenetic siderite concretions develop in coal swamps. Reddish biotites are not resistant during synsedimentary weathering in humid alluvial plains. As a consequence of increasing pH, temperature, and salinity of the interstitial fluids with increasing burial depth, common sequences of cementation include (1) silicates + quartz, (2) carbonates, (3) sulphates, (4) halite (fig. 3). The formation of quartz — the most important cement — is mainly governed by modifications of the micro-environment (e.g. pressure solution). In the Lower Triassic Buntsandstein, lithification due to quartz cementation occurred at a burial depth of about 1000–1200 m in alluvial as well as in brackisch to marine sandstones. Cementation by potassium feldspar (in the alluvial sandstones) and by analcime transforming into albite (in the brackish to evaporitic sandstones) occurred earlier. This was shown by investigations of minus-cement-porosity and contact strength (fig. 2). 相似文献

Isotope composition of neodymium in neo-Archean banded iron formations of Karelia and Kola Peninsula
Studies of three deposits of neo-Archean banded iron formations from the West Karelian domain (the Kostomuksha deposit) and from the Central Kola block (the Olenegorsk and Kirovogorsk deposits) showed a pronounced difference in the isotope compositions of Nd from quartz and magnetite–hematite interlayers. The less radiogenic Nd of iron-containing layers compared to that of the quartz component may be considered as an indication of the formation mechanism of the treated banded iron formations. Thus, silicon-containing layers are related to submarine volcanism and iron was supplied to the sedimentation zone from other sources. 相似文献

All the major worldwide direct-shipping iron ore deposits associated with banded iron formations (BIF) are characteristically deeply weathered. They extend to considerable depths below the water table and show well-preserved primary structures and textures, but characteristically most deposits contain no evidence of chert bands being present prior to weathering. Recent studies have found evidence of hydrothermal and/ or metamorphic influences in the development of certain ore deposits and new genesis models such as the supergene-modified hypogene model have been postulated for major high-grade iron ore deposits. Nevertheless, there are many high-grade deposits that show no evidence of hypogene alteration and for which a hypogene or metamorphic genesis is unreasonable that are automatically ascribed to supergene enrichment, commonly erroneously attributed to lateritic weathering in tropical environments. Laterite (sensu lato) is a soil formation in which primary textures are destroyed and is underlain by a pallid zone showing the preservation of chert and the depletion, not enrichment, of iron oxides and thus is totally incompatible with the formation of the high-grade ore deposits. Various theories and models that purported to explain the conditions under which such a uniquely BIF-related dissolution of quartz and residual accumulation of hematite could occur by supergene processes typically conflict with current understanding of groundwater hydrology, chemistry, weathering processes and soil formation.Supergene enrichment of ore is universal in the leaching of gangue minerals such as iron silicates, carbonates and apatite and supergene enrichment of BIF to low-grade ore is common in near surface environments above the water table such as ferrugenised BIF outcrops, detrital ore deposits, and some shallow ore deposits that have been subjected to prolonged exposure to fresh meteoric water. In all cases of supergene enrichment traces of the chert bands are visible and the dissolution or replacement processes for the removal of quartz are clear, in direct contrast to the most important deep saprolite ore deposits that show no trace of chert bands.The widespread acceptance of an inappropriate and untenable supergene enrichment model inhibits search for the true origin of the ore and our ability to predict and find concealed high-grade ore deposits. 相似文献

A Sr isotope study on fluorite and siderite from post-orogenic mineral veins in the eastern Harz Mountains,Germany 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Rb–Sr isotope data for siderite and fluorite from sediment-hosted epithermal mineral veins in the eastern Harz Mountains (Germany)
are presented. Several fluorite and siderite-bearing paragenetic stages have been proposed for these veins, with the most
important mineralization being related to a quartz–sulfide and a subsequent calcite–fluorite–quartz stage, which occurred
at 226±1 and 209±2 Ma, respectively. Our Rb–Sr data do not permit the identification of distinct generations of siderite and
fluorite, but rather reveal straight internal mixing relations, reflecting mixing of fluids or differential fluid–rock interaction
processes. This indicates merely two significant phases of mineral deposition related to the quartz–sulfide and calcite–fluorite–quartz
stages. It is shown that the Paleozoic sedimentary host rocks of the veins are the most likely source for the siderite Sr,
whereas fluorite displays a two-component mixture between sedimentary Sr and radiogenic Sr derived from locally occurring
Permian metavolcanic rocks.

The Pinxiang weathering profile is well developed on Early Triassic dacite lavas of the Baisi Formation. At the top of the profile is developed a red clay zone which is characterized mineralogically by kaolinite, iron oxide minerals, quartz, and a small amount of illite, montmorillonite and vermiculite. In going downwards the red clay zone gives way to a saprolite zone in which plagioclase pseudomorphs have been well preserved although replaced by kaolinite. Beneath the saprolite zone is the saprock zone characterized by less weathering for dacite. At the bottom of the weathering profile is the parent material, dacite, which is composed mainly of plagioclase, quartz, K-feldspar and biotite which have been largely altered into chlorite owing to submarine extrusion of dacite lavas. Some layers in the weathering profile show obvious sodium enrichment and potassium depletion relative to others. In the Al2O3-(CaO* Na2O)-K2O triangular diagram, the weathering trends of these layers in the middle stage are remarkably deviated from normal ones. Both mineralogy and micro-morphology of these layers indicate such deviation resulted from sodic metasomatism of orthoclase. 相似文献

Geology of the Early Devonian oolitic iron ore of the Gara Djebilet Field, Saharan Platform, Algeria
Salah Guerrak 《Ore Geology Reviews》1988,3(4)
The oolitic iron ore of the Gara Djebilet field occurs within the Early Devonian sediments of the Tindouf Basin (Algerian Sahara), particularly in the Upper Djebilet Formation of Pragian age. Three large lenses form three individual deposits, extending E-W for about 60 km, namely Gara West, Gara Center and Gara East.The mineralization is interbedded with argillaceous to sandy sediments and it can be related to a barrier island palaeoenvironment, bordered by an inner lagoon or shallow embayment and an epicontinental sea. Trapped by Palaeozoic shoals, the oolitic sediments show a mineralogy marked mainly by magnetite, hematite, goethite, maghemite, chamosite (bavalite), siderite, apatite and quartz. Three paragenetic associations present a vertical distribution with a Lower non-magnetitic ore, a magnetitic ore and an Upper non-magnetitic ore.Three petrographical facies types have been defined: a cemented facies (FOC); a detrital facies (FOD); and a non-detrital facies (FOND).Chemical data for the whole field show a difference between the Lower non-magnetitic ore (Fe=54.6%), the Magnetitic ore (Fe=57.8%) and the Upper non-magnetitic ore (Fe=53%). The Magnetitic ore, which corresponds mainly to the workable ore (cutoff grade at 57%), has the following composition: SiO2=4.9%, Al2O3=4.2%, Fe2O3=61.43%, FeO=19.2%, and P2O5=1.8%. The corresponding calculated economical ore reserves are 985×106t, with 57.8% Fe.Regarding the genesis of the oolitic iron ore, a southern source is suggested for the iron, with deposition taking place in a quiet environment. There, the ooids developed by an intrasedimentary accretion mechanism around detrital grain within an iron-rich mud.The Gara Djebilet field is an important occurrence of the “North African Palaeozoic Ironstone Belt” extending from the Zemmour to Libya which also includes ironstones of Ordovician, Silurian and Devonian age. 相似文献

Devonian and Carboniferous (Yarrol terrane) rocks, Early Permian strata, and Permian‐(?)Triassic plutons outcrop in the Stanage Bay region of the northern New England Fold Belt. The Early‐(?)Middle Devonian Mt Holly Formation consists mainly of coarse volcaniclastic rocks of intermediate‐silicic provenance, and mafic, intermediate and silicic volcanics. Limestone is abundant in the Duke Island, along with a significant component of quartz sandstone on Hunter Island. Most Carboniferous rocks can be placed in two units, the late Tournaisian‐Namurian Campwyn Volcanics, composed of coarse volcaniclastic sedimentary rocks, silicic ash flow tuff and widespread oolitic limestone, and the conformably overlying Neerkol Formation dominated by volcaniclastic sandstone and siltstone with uncommon pebble conglomerate and scattered silicic ash fall tuff. Strata of uncertain stratigraphic affinity are mapped as ‘undifferentiated Carboniferous’. The Early Permian Youlambie Conglomerate unconformably overlies Carboniferous rocks. It consists of mudstone, sandstone and conglomerate, the last containing clasts of Carboniferous sedimentary rocks, diverse volcanics and rare granitic rocks. Intrusive bodies include the altered and variably strained Tynemouth Diorite of possible Devonian age, and a quartz monzonite mass of likely Late Permian or Triassic age. The rocks of the Yarrol terrane accumulated in shallow (Mt Holly, Campwyn) and deeper (Neerkol) marine conditions proximal to an active magmatic arc which was probably of continental margin type. The Youlambie Conglomerate was deposited unconformably above the Yarrol terrane in a rift basin. Late Permian regional deformation, which involved east‐west horizontal shortening achieved by folding, cleavage formation and east‐over‐west thrusting, increases in intensity towards the east. 相似文献
