Geochemical constraints on the distribution of trace elements and volatiles in fluorapatite from the Panasqueira tin-tungsten deposit (Portugal)

A large, euhedral crystal of fluorapatite (ca. 19.5 × 20.0 mm) from the Panasqueira tin-tungsten deposit (Portugal) was investigated in terms of the distribution of trace elements by using several microanalytical techniques. The studied material represents almost pure fluorapatite with minor amounts of other cations (mainly Sr, Mn, REE and Fe), OH and Cl. Particular interest was given to the distribution of rare earth elements with respect to the crystallographic orientation. A broad range of analytical techniques were used, including optical microscopy coupled with cathodoluminescence imaging, electron probe microanalysis (EPMA), laser ablation – inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICPMS), Raman microspectroscopy, and simultaneous thermal analysis coupled with mass spectrometry. The investigated crystal consists of the main crystal with a distinct core and rim (Ap_2core and Ap_2rim, respectively), which grew on a previous, euhedral crystal (Ap₁). The fluorapatite demonstrates various types of zoning: regular oscillatory, irregular, and internal sectoring, which is also reflected in trace elements concentrations. The rim Ap_2rim has lower concentrations of Mn, Sr and Fe, and significantly higher concentrations of REE compared to the core Ap_2core and older crystal Ap₁. Furthermore, the rim Ap_2rim is strongly depleted in Th, U and Pb. The entire crystal shows elevated Eu contents, expressed as a strong positive anomaly in chondrite-normalized REE patterns. With regards to the volatiles, F concentrations are constant in Ap₁, Ap_2core and Ap_2rim, whereas Cl is below the EPMA detection limit. The Ap_2rim was the only part of the investigated material containing OH and CO₃, which were observed in the Raman spectra. Furthermore, part of the crystal Ap_2core is extensively altered, likely due to fluid-induced metasomatic processes. LA-ICPMS U-Pb dating yielded highly discordant dates due to common Pb content. A lower intercept age of 297 ± 13 Ma (MSWD = 0.13) indicates the age of the fluorapatite crystallization. The overall analytical data constrain growth and post-growth processes, including crystallization of Ap₁ and Ap_2core, which both have typical hydrothermal Sn-W deposit characteristics, whereas Ap_2rim is related to a carbonate stage of the mineralization in the Panasqueira deposit.

Gold and Platinum-Group Element Analysis of Geochemical and Platinum Reference Materials Using Fluoroxidation Decomposition

A novel method is described for the rapid dissolution of various geological, geochemical and related reference samples for the determination of Au and the platinum-group elements. The decomposition procedure is based on reaction with the fluoroxidants, liquid bromine trifluoride or molten potassium tetrafluorobromate. Results by this novel procedure are compared with data obtained by traditional methods of sample decomposition, including fire assay, autoclave techniques and an aqua regia leach. The oxidative fluorination procedure with the subsequent conversion of fluorocomplexes into the chloride form was found to be an effective and rapid method for the quantification of all the precious metals in a range of sample types.     

云南个旧南部地区元素地球化学特征

在野外调研和大量样品采集分析的基础上， 运用数学地质中对应分析和因子分析两种方法对样品和变量进行分类划分和成因解释。首先，将样品和元素进行综合计算，按第一、二因子轴作出样品－元素因子平面图，在图上划分四个象限，按象限进行分类，探讨其样品－元素分类规律。其次，按象限计算因子载荷矩阵，分析各因子轴所代表的元素共生组成规律和成矿期次。根据上述研究认为第一因子轴（F1）所代表的Sn、Cu、Pb、Cu、Zn、Au、Ag等元素为主成矿元素组合和主成矿期次，而其它因子轴所代表的Mo、W、Bi、Be等元素为次成矿元素组合和次成矿期次。成矿作用是在区域构造应力驱动力的作用下，与花岗岩侵入有关。成矿溶液除来自深源以外，还与周围基性岩体（脉）和围岩密切相关，矿液实质是一种混合矿浆，在上升运移过程中，充填在有利的构造部位和有利 的地层层位中形成矿体。     

滇西菲红超基性岩风化壳铂族元素地球化学行为

近年来在世界不同地区进行了风化过程中铂族元素的地球化学行为研究。作为中国西南部的第一个实例，本文研究了云南西部菲红超基性岩体上发育的红土风化剖面。矿物学和微量元素地球化学研究证明该风化壳是超基性岩风化的结果。文中详细讨论了风化壳的地质、矿物学、红土化和铂族元素地球化学特征。结果表明，风化壳的红土化程度不高，仍处于红色粘土阶段；风化壳上部的表层土壤带和铁质粘土带中铂族元素总量至少富集了3．57－7．87倍，其中Ru和Pd的富集程度较大,Ir的富集程度中等，Pt和Rh的富集程度较小，使得铂族元素的配分模式由基岩的Pt富集型转变为风化壳的Ru-Pt富集型，证明红土化过程中铂族元素发生了分异。     

The mafic-ultramafic complex near Finero (Ivrea-Verbano Zone), I. Chemistry of MORB-like magmas

Geochemical data are presented for the meta-igneous, mafic-ultramafic complex near Finero. This complex is in contact with a phlogopite-bearing mantle peridotite and is subdivided into the Internal Gabbro unit, the Amphibole Peridotite unit, and the External Gabbro unit. The Internal Gabbro and the Amphibole Peridotite units consist of coarse-grained, chemically heterogeneous cumulates, whereas the External Gabbro unit is generally massive, chemically more uniform and approximately representative of the residual melt with MgO contents between 6.6 and 9.1% and Mg numbers between 38 and 58. Both whole-rock and mineral contents of Ni and Cr are significantly higher (at similar Mg numbers) in the Amphibole Peridotite unit than in the Internal Gabbro unit. The most straightforward interpretation of this is that the Amphibole Peridotite unit accumulated after the influx of fresh mafic (or ultramafic) magma into the magma chamber. Major-element chemical trends are continuous from the Amphibole Peridotite unit to the External Gabbro unit and are consistent with closed-system fractionation with no further addition of magma or contamination by wall or roof rock assimilation. In the External Gabbro unit, total FeO and TiO₂ contents are strongly correlated with each other (and with P₂O₅ and Zr) and reach values as high as 19 and 4%, respectively, indicating an advanced degree of crystal fractionation along a tholeftic trend. The External Gabbro samples have generally smooth normalized trace element patterns, which are consistent with being representative of a liquid composition. The residual nature of the External Gabbro magma is also indicated by negative Eu and Sr anomalies, clear evidence for prior feldspar fractionation. REE patterns are otherwise indistinguishable from N-type MORB, but Th and U are significantly more depleted than in MORB. This Th and U depletion is similar to that found in olivine basalts and picrites on Iceland and Hawaii; its origin is not well understood. No evidence is seen for any assimilation of crystal material, in sharp contrast with the situation of the igneous complex in Val Sesia near Balmuccia, where the magma composition is dominated by assimilation of crust. We suggest that the heat provided by at most two injections of magma near Finero was insufficient to induce crystal anatexis, in contrast with the excess heat supplied by multiple magma injections at Balmuccia.
