Measurement of the major and trace elements were carried out on the Lower Cretaceous limestones interbedded in the volcano-sedimentary Alisitos Formation, northwestern México to understand the source of rare earth elements (REEs) and paleo-redox conditions. The five limestone beds (from the base up, Unit 5 to Unit 9) of the Alisitos Formation show large variations in SiO2 content (0.9–27.9%). A low concentration of CaO is observed in Unit 6 and Unit 8, and high content of CaO is observed in Unit 5, Unit 7 and Unit 9. The limestones are depleted in many trace elements with respect to Post-Archaean Australian Shale (PAAS), whereas Sr shows slight enrichment when compared to PAAS. The concentrations of ΣREE are higher in Unit 6 and Unit 8 (37.4 ± 7.5; 46.6 ± 19.4; respectively) than Unit5, Unit7, and Unit 9 (9.1 ± 3.2; 11.3 ± 9.4; 4.2 ± 2.5; respectively). The limestones of the Alisitos Formation show a non-seawater-like REE + Y pattern with positive Eu anomalies relative to PAAS (0.95–2.47). Variations in ΣREE, Al2O3, Zr, Sc, REE + Y patterns, and Y/Ho ratios are influenced mainly by the amount of terrigenous materials. The variations in the Eu/Eu*, La/Sc and La/Co suggest that the terrigenous materials included in the lower four limestone beds (from Unit 5, Unit 6, Unit 7 and Unit 8) were likely contributed by intermediate to felsic rocks whereas terrigenous materials from Unit 9 were derived from mafic to intermediate source rocks. The slightly negative to slightly positive Ce anomalies in the studied limestones resulted from variations in the bottom water oxygenation. This was also corroborated by V/Cr and Ni/Co ratios suggesting that the depositional environments experienced large fluctuations in oxygenation conditions ranging from oxic to anoxic conditions during the deposition of limestones of the Alisitos Formation.  相似文献

Major, trace and rare earth elements (REE) concentrations in limestone beds of the Asu River Group within the Middle Benue Trough were measured to understand the depositional conditions, characteristics and source of REE. The limestone has high content of CaO (Average of 46.55%), followed by SiO2 (Average of 7.90 %), Fe2O3(t), MgO and Al2O3. The limestones are depleted in most of the trace elements (Co, V, Rb, Ba, Zr, Y, Nb, Hf and Th) when compared with the Post-Archean Australian Shale (PAAS). The observed large variations in ΣREE contents among various limestones of the present study (12.22 to 142.53ppm) are mainly due to the amount of terrigenous matter present in them. The characteristics of non-seawater-like REE patterns, elevated REE concentrations, high LaN/YbN ratios and low Y/Ho ratios, suggest that the observed variations in ΣREE contents are mainly controlled by the amount of detrital sediments in the limestones of the Asu River Group in the middle Benue trough. The observed variations in Ce contents and Ce anomalies in the studied samples resulted from detrital input. The limestones show positive Mn* values (0.30 to 0.78) and low contents of U (～0.60–3.20 ppm) suggesting that they were deposited under oxygen-rich environment.  相似文献

The Neoproterozoic Narji Formation of Cuddapah Basin, Southern India is mainly composed of limestones with minor amount of clastic rocks. Limestones are massive as well as laminated and occasionally chert bearing. Geochemistry (major, trace, and REE) of limestones is studied to strengthen the knowledge on depositional environment of Narji Formation in the direction to better figure out the development of Cuddapah Basin during Neoproterozoic era. Average SiO2 (25.97), Al2O3/TiO2 (16.67), and K2O/Al2O3 (0.21) ratios suggest clastic contamination in the Narji limestones. PAAS (Post Archean Australian Shale) normalized REE?+?Y pattern of Narji limestones are showing seawater like REE?+?Y pattern. The Er/Nd and Y/Ho ratios (average 0.17 and 35.68, respectively) of Narji limestones indicate the retention of normal seawater character with the signatures of terrigenous input and diagenesis process. Positive Ce anomaly, high U/Th (>?1.25), and V/(V?+?Ni) (>?0.5) ratios of Narji limestones clearly indicate their deposition in dyoxic to anoxic condition.  相似文献

Rare earth element and yttrium (REE+Y) concentrations were determined in 49 Late Devonian reefal carbonates from the Lennard Shelf, Canning Basin, Western Australia. Shale-normalized (SN) REE+Y patterns of the Late Devonian samples display features consistent with the geochemistry of well-oxygenated, shallow seawater. A variety of different ancient limestone components, including microbialites, some skeletal carbonates (stromatoporoids), and cements, record seawater-like REE+Y signatures. Contamination associated with phosphate, Fe-oxides and shale was tested quantitatively, and can be discounted as the source of the REE+Y patterns. Co-occurring carbonate components that presumably precipitated from the same seawater have different relative REE concentrations, but consistent REE+Y patterns. Clean Devonian early marine cements (n = 3) display REE+Y signatures most like that of modern open ocean seawater and the highest Y/Ho ratios (e.g., 59) and greatest light REE (LREE) depletion (average NdSN/YbSN = 0.413, SD = 0.076). However, synsedimentary cements have the lowest REE concentrations (e.g., 405 ppb). Non-contaminated Devonian microbialite samples containing a mixture of the calcimicrobe Renalcis and micritic thrombolite aggregates in early marine cement (n = 11) have the highest relative REE concentrations of tested carbonates (average total REE = 11.3 ppm). Stromatoporoid skeletons, unlike modern corals, algae and molluscs, also contain well-developed, seawater-like REE patterns. Samples from an estuarine fringing reef have very different REE+Y patterns with LREE enrichment (NdSN/YbSN > 1), possibly reflecting inclusion of estuarine colloidal material that contained preferentially scavenged LREE from a nearby riverine input source. Hence, Devonian limestones provide a proxy for marine REE geochemistry and allow the differentiation of co-occurring water masses on the ancient Lennard Shelf. Although appropriate partition coefficients for quantification of Devonian seawater REE concentrations from out data are unknown, hypothetical Devonian Canning Basin seawater REE patterns were obtained with coefficients derived from modern natural proxies and experimental values. Resulting Devonian seawater patterns are slightly enriched in LREE compared to most modern seawaters and suggest higher overall REE concentrations, but are very similar to seawaters from regions with high terrigenous inputs. Our results suggest that most limestones should record important aspects of the REE geochemistry of the waters in which they precipitated, provided they are relatively free of terrigenous contamination and major diagenetic alteration from fluids with high, non-seawater-like REE contents. Hence, we expect that many other ancient limestones will serve as seawater REE proxies, and thereby provide information on paleoceanography, paleogeography and geochemical evolution of the oceans.  相似文献

Petrographical and geochemical studies were carried out of the Neoproterozoic carbonates from northern Anhui Province, China. These carbonates can be subdivided into two types, including purified limestone (PL) and mixed limestone and siliclastic rocks (MLS). PLs are low in Si, Al, Zr and total REE but high in CaO compared with MLSs. Correlations between Zr, Fe2O3, P2O5 and total REE are also less remarkable, indicating that they were not obviously contaminated by continental materials but directly precipitated from seawater. So they can be used for the inversion of paleo-seawater REE patterns. The inversed results indicated that the REE pattern of Neoproterozoic seawater was similar to that of the modern seawater except for the lack of Ce depletion, which was probably affected by the reduced hydrothermal solution. In combination with previous studies, the geochemical trending of these carbonatic samples towards the continental arc in the La- Th-Sc and Th-Sc-Zr/10 diagrams is interpreted as the contamination of arc volcanism. The tectonic background of the southern margin of the North China Craton in the Neoproterozoic was probably related to the Grenville orogeny during the convergence of the Rodinia supercontinent, rather than an intra-plate environment.  相似文献

Summary Rare earth elements (REE) have been determined in 15 samples from three metamorphosed limestone units of the Appin Group of the Dalradian of north-east Scotland. Total REE contents range from about 7 to about 50 ppm and the light REEs are slightly enriched compared with REE in the North American Shale Composite (NASC). In the more impure limestones, the dominant control on REE content was the clay mineral content in siliciclastic impurities derived from terrestrial sources. In the purer limestones, the correlation between REEs and iron is consistent with the well-documented relationship between iron and REEs in the aqueous environment. REE associated with terrestrial, iron-rich, flocculated organic colloids or marine, authigenic iron-manganese coats may well have contributed significantly to the REE contents. Weak Ce anomalies on NASC-normalised, REE variation diagrams in two samples with very low REE contents suggest a marine influence on the REE distribution.
Die Quelle von Seltenen Erden in Kalken der Appin Gruppe, Dalradians, NE Schottland
Zusammenfassung An 15 Proben aus metamorphen Kalken der Appin Gruppe der Dalradians NE Schottlands wurde die Zusammensetzung der Seltenen Erden (REE) bestimmt. Der Gesamtgehalt an REE variiert von 7 bis 50 ppm, wobei die leichten REE im Vergleich zum North American Shale Composite (NASC) leicht angereichert sind. In unreinen Kalken wird der REE-Gehalt vom Tonmineralanteil der silikatisch-klastischen Verunreinigungen, die einer terrestrischen Quelle entstammen, kontrolliert. In reinen Karbonatgesteinen besteht eine Korrelation zwischen den REE und Fe, eine Beziehung, die für ein wässriges Milieu bereits bereits gut dokumentiert ist. REEs, die mit terrrestrischen, Fe-reichen, ausgeflockten organischen Kolloiden oder marinen, authigen gebildeten Fe-Mn Überzügen assoziiert sind, könnten beträchtlich zu den REE Gehalten beitragen. Schwache, in auf NASC normalisierten REE-Diagrammen erkennbare Ce-Anomalien von zwei Proben, lassen einen marinen Einfluß vermuten.

Partition coefficients for a range of Rare Earth Elements (REEs), Y, Sc, Al and Zr were determined between forsteritic olivine (nearly end-member Mg2SiO4) and ten melt compositions in the system CaO-MgO-Al2O3-SiO2 (CMAS) at 1 bar and 1400 °C, with concentrations of the trace elements in the olivine and the melt measured by laser-ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS). The REEs and Sc were added at levels sufficient to ensure that concentrations in the olivine were well above the detection limits. The REE partition coefficients decrease with increasing silica in the melt, indicating strong bonding between REEO1.5 and SiO2 in the melt. The variation of as a function of ionic radius is well described by the Brice equation for each composition, although a small proportion of this variation is due to the increase in the strength of the REEO1.5-SiO2 interactions in the melt with ionic radius. Scandium behaves very similarly to the REEs, but a global fit of the data from all ten melt compositions suggests that deviates somewhat from the parabolas established by the REE and Y, implying that Sc may substitute into olivine differently to that of the REEs. In contrast to the behaviour of the large trivalent cations, the concentration of Al in olivine is proportional to the square root of its concentration in the melt, indicating a coupled substitution in olivine with a high degree of short-range order. The lack of any correlation of REE partition coefficients with Al in olivine or melt suggests that the REE substitution in olivine is charge-balanced by cation vacancies. The partition coefficient of the tetravalent trace element Zr, which is highly incompatible in olivine, depends on the CaO content of the melt.  相似文献

碳酸盐岩是地球表层岩石圈的重要组成部分,其化学组成可提供沉积环境与海洋水体演化等信息,然而,前人对碳酸盐岩中稀土等元素的分布与变化特征关注不足。本文选择穿越中国东部6个一级大地构造单元的3条地球化学走廊带,系统采集了582件碳酸盐岩地层样品,并准确分析了包括稀土元素(REE)在内的81项指标的含量。结果表明,中国东部地球化学走廊带碳酸盐岩稀土元素(REE＋Y)总量为(0.59～183)×10-6,均值为24.0×10-6,纯净碳酸盐岩(CMC含量≥99％)均值为4.80×10-6。PAAS标准化后其显示具有轻稀土相对于中稀土和重稀土略亏损、δEu轻微正异常、δCe中度负异常等特征。白云岩中稀土含量、LREE/HREE值一般低于石灰岩;砂泥质含量相近时,前中生代各时代碳酸盐岩稀土分布模式相差不大,各构造单元稀土分布特征基本相似;与其他时代相比,中生代及中新元古代碳酸盐岩具有相对较平坦的稀土分布模式。研究表明,碳酸盐岩中稀土分布受碎屑物质影响明显,表现为稀土元素含量与碳酸根负相关,与碎屑物质相关元素(Si、Ti、Rb、Cs、Th、Zr等)、黏土相关元素(Al、Fe、K等)等正相关。成岩过程及白云化过程对较纯净碳酸盐岩中稀土分布特征影响不明显。我国古生代纯净碳酸盐岩分布模式受控于海相环境,其分布模式与现今海水相近;中生代纯净石灰岩受到陆相或海陆交互相的影响,具有较平坦的稀土分布模式。氧化还原条件对δCe的影响较δEu更为明显,δCe值受海相环境控制,极端正异常值(δCe＞1.3)受到还原环境或/和热液影响。若假定海水中REE自中元古代至今无太大变化,各时代稀土元素分配系数均值介于103.55～102.39,分配系数差异是造成碳酸盐岩中轻稀土亏损、Ce负异常及Y正异常的主要原因。微生物(席)可富集稀土等金属元素并改变沉积环境,这可能是造成中新元古界碳酸盐岩较平坦的稀土分布模式的主要原因。  相似文献

Trace elements and rare earth elements (REEs) of Lias-aged cherts in the Gumushane area were studied in order to understand their origin and depositional environment. Twenty three chert samples from five stratigraphic sections were analysed by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry, X-ray diffraction, and mineralogical investigation. Lias cherts in the study area are microcrystalline, cryptocrystalline quartz, and megaquartz depending on mineralogical content. Trace elements of the cherts were compared with PAAS, Co, Y, and Th had stronger depletions in the five sections, whereas V, Ni, Zr, Nb, and Hf had smaller depletions. The distribution of Zr, Hf, and Ta yields Zr/Hf, Zr/Ta and Hf/Ta ratios (25/645, 37/665, and 0.18/3, respectively) that differ from those of chondrites and average upper continental crust, suggesting that these elements are likely non-detrital but are sourced from seawater. Th/U ratios range from 0.04 to 0.45 and are lower than those of the upper continental crust (average: 3.9). Lias-aged cherts have low total REE abundances and stronger depletions in five sections of the PAAS and chondrite-normalised plots. The cherts are characterised by a positive Eu anomaly (average: 4.9) and LREE-enrichment (LaN/YbN = average: 3.5). In addition, about one-half of the cherts exhibit positive Ce anomaly (range: 0.25–2.58), chondritic Y/Ho values (range: 3.3–60), and low (La/Ce)N values (average: 1.8). REE and trace element abundance in Lias cherts indicate that these elements were likely derived from hydrothermal solutions, terrigenous sources, and seawater. The REE patterns of the cherts show that they were probably deposited close to a continental margin.  相似文献

The rare earth element (REE) contents of sixteen surficial calcareous sediments from the southwestern Carlsberg Ridge, Indian Ocean, have been determined. The total REE vary from 35 ppm to 126 ppm and are inversely related to the calcium carbonate content. REEs show a strong positive correlation with Al + Fe + K + Mg + Na (r 2= 0.98) and Mn + Fe + Cu + Ni (r 2= 0.86) suggesting that the REE is associated with a combined phase of clays (mainly illite) and Mn-Fe oxyhydroxides. The aeolian input into these sediments is suggested from the weak positive Eu/Eu* anomaly. Shale-normalized (NASC) pattern along with La(n)/Yb(n) ratio suggest enrichment of heavy REE (HREE) relative to the light REE (LREE) with a negative Ce/Ce* anomaly implying retention of a bottom water REE pattern.

鄂尔多斯盆地西缘宁夏香山群自20世纪40年代发现以来一直存在的时代争议,已经严重地阻碍了该地区及北祁连地区早古生代大地构造、地层和古地理等研究工作,香山群徐家圈组顶部的薄层状石灰岩以其含有的古生物化石已成为解决香山群时代归属的关键地层单元。本文通过对薄层状石灰岩稀土元素及相关微量元素测试结果的分析,探讨其沉积时的海水介质条件。结果表明：依据稀土元素的分布特征,可将薄层状石灰岩分为A、B、C三组;稀土元素具有明显的Eu正异常和Ce负异常,从A组到C组Eu正异常增大,Ce负异常减小;从A组到C组,各地球化学参数呈规律性变化,（La/La*）N、（Y/Y*）N、（Gd/Gd*）N、Y/Ho值逐渐减小,稀土总量和轻重稀土比值逐渐增加,（La/Yb）N与（La/Sm）N值由小变大再变小,（Ce/Ce*）N值逐渐增大而U/Th值逐渐减小,Sr/Ba值稳定而Zr/Rb值增大。依据地球化学特征可推测沉积时从A组到C组的水介质变化为陆源物质影响增加、海水性质减弱、水深波动、海水由还原到氧化、水动力增强和盐度基本稳定。结合稀土元素Eu异常现象及相关研究成果,推测徐家圈组顶部的薄层状石灰岩沉积于氧化-还原层化海洋靠近分界线的还原带内,热液羽引发的深水水体流动（内波、内潮汐）可能控制着陆源物质的输入和水体的氧化-还原环境,在还原的总体背景上产生水动力氧化现象。  相似文献

Rare earth elements in modern coral sands: an environmental proxy   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  
The concentration rare earth elements and Yttrium (REE + Y) were determined in coral sands from Kavaratti Island, Arabian Sea, India. Chondrite-normalized REE + Y patterns show: (1) high REE concentration particularly light REE (LREE) enrichment; (2) consistent negative Ce anomaly; (3) nearly chondritic Y/Ho ratios. All these features are consistent with the geochemistry of well oxygenated seawater with significant terrestrial contribution. The seawater composition of Nd/Yb ratio inferred from the coral record point to the dominance of LREE more than the heavy REE (HREE). The high terrestrial input rich in LREE and property of adsorption/scavenging processes of LREE than that of HREE may be the cause. Terrigenous contributions were detected on the basis of co-occurring trace element concentrations (Sc, Hf and Th) and Y/Ho ratio. Except for La, the REE distribution coefficients, KD(REE)s, are between 100 and 300. KDs are high comparing to the other elements in biogenic calcite which is attributed to detrital contamination during elemental incorporation. This study may not reflect original seawater chemistry but it can be a good proxy to indicate proximity of corals to terrigenous input sources.  相似文献

The purpose of this study was to determine and evaluate the geochemical characteristics of the limestone of the Upper Cretaceous Mortas Formation and related terra rossa in a 50 km2 area which is located 20 km south of the city of Seydisehir, Central Anatolia, by using data obtained from the ICP-MS analysis of randomly collected 42 samples of limestone and 18 samples of the terra rossa.The limestone of the Mortas Formation is composed of fossilliferous, gray-cream colored, medium to thick bedded, partially dolomitic carbonate rocks, and generally has dismicrite, intrapelmicrite composition. It includes the largest bauxite reservior in Turkey and has many occurences of terra rossa formation on it. According to mean distance, the Ba, Be, Hg, Mo, Nb, Sb and Th concentrations in the limestones overlying and underlying the bauxite deposits are different, but the main oxides, REE and other trace elements are same. In factor analysis, the first component reflects relative enrichment of clay against to CaO contents of the limestone, the second component corresponds to the degree of dolomitization. The PAAS-normalized REEs pattern for the Mortas Formation limestone samples illustrate similar main features as seawater.The terra rossa soils in the study area are considered to be highly weathered and weakly mature soil with respect to their generally low Al2O3 (21%), but high CaO (2%) contents, and their alteration indices. The element ratios in the terra rossa and limestone show that in the process of the transformation from limestone to terra rossa, Ba, Si, Ti, Al and Fe were enriched together by staying in-situ. Except Ce, all lanthanides show similar behavior, but the HREE, which were richer in limestone, were consumed fast relative to the LREE during soil formation. The association and the enrichment of Co, Cu, Cr, Ni and Pb as well as Ba, Zr, Ga, Nb and Rb in soil relative to the limestone are interpreted as being resulted from eolian transportation. Ca, Au, Hg, Sr, Se, Sb, Mo, Ag, U, Cd and Na were found to be the most mobile elements during pedogenic transformation. According to main oxide composition ratios of the limestone and terra rossa, the soils were described as representing a well washed soil completing the leaching and accumulation phase, but not totally completing the silicate weathering phase. In the processes of soil formation, 97.76% of the limestone was washed away; only 2.24% of limestone was deposited as soil. Therefore, 61 times mass reduction was realized.  相似文献

Ten representative limestone samples [six from Wangshan Formation （WL） and the other four from Gou- hou Formation （GL）] were collected from outcrops of the northern Anhui Province, and REE concentrations in lime- stone were measured by ICP-MS. The depositional environment and source of the REE were analyzed, and the re- sults implys that the total REE of samples are low compared with the recent marine sediments, which range from 9.61 to 54.18 mg/kg and an average of 22.93 mg/kg. The PAAS-normalized REE＋Y patterns of limestone are char- acterized by （1） light REE depletion in WL and enrichment in GL with the values of （Nd/Yb）sN ranging form 0.65 to 0.91 and 1.12 to 1.46, respectively; （2） light negative Ce anomaly （0.85-1.02） and positive La anomaly （0.92-1.27）; and （3） both Eu （0.91-1.23） and Y （1.42-2.38） expressing light positive anomaly. The character indicated that the depositional environment was oxygenated, with infection by the hydrothermal activity and contamination of detritus.  相似文献

The geochemical investigation of sediments deposited in the Renuka Lake basin and its adjoining wetland has shown variation in the distribution and concentration of major, trace and REEs. The major elements are depleted in the lake in relation to wetland and that of Post Archaean Australian, Shale (PAAS), except for CaO which is strikingly in excess and has a dilution effect on SiO2 and other oxides and trace elements. The Wetland sediments, on the other hand, are enriched in Al2O3, Fe2O3, K2O and TiO2 and the latter three show a positive correlation with Al2O3 in both wetland and lake sediments suggesting their association with phyllosilicates and similar source rocks. The enrichment of Y, Zr, Ni, Th, U and Nb in wetland compared to lake and their similarity with PAAS in the former, suggests more clay fractions in the wetland. A high Zr/Hf ratio in wetland and lake sediments and a positive correlation of Zr with Y and HREE indicate Zr control on HREEs. However, higher Zr/Yb and Zr/Th ratios in wetland compared to lake indicate mineral sorting during the process of lighter particles (clays) being trapped in wetland soil. This is also reflected from negative correlation of GdN/YbN with Al2O3 and a strong positive correlation with SiO2 in wetland sediments. The wetland in this context has a control on lake sediment chemistry. The chondrite normalized REE patterns are essentially the same for lake as well as wetland sediments but abundance decreases in the former. The similarity of pattern with that of PAAS and negative Eu anomaly indicates a cratonic source of sediments. In a plot of the individual samples, wetland samples cluster while lake samples are separated indicating fractionation of lake sediments. A strong positive correlation of LaN/YbN with Al2O3 and a positive correlation of Zr-∑LREE and Zr-LaN/YbN suggest that LREEs are controlled by both phyllosilicates and zircon. The chemical index of alteration (CIA) indices in lake sediments and in wetland are higher than PAAS indicating moderate chemical weathering in the source area. The petrography, lack of felsic magmatic rock fragments, and negative correlation between Zr-(Gd/Yb)C indicate sedimentary source rocks for the detritus. This is in conformity with the Lesser Himalayan sedimentary sequence belonging to neo-Proterozoic–Proterozoic age and constituting lake catchment of Renuka. The tectonic delineation and discriminant function plots of lake and wetland sediments indicate their cratonic and/or quartzose sedimentary orogenic terrain source that has been deposited in a passive margin setting.  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 LaCN/LuCN 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 δ18O 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 δ34S 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 H2S, which was derived from magmatic hydrothermal fluids.  相似文献

The Cauê Formation of the Paleoproterozoic Minas Supergroup hosts banded iron formations (BIFs), locally called itabirites, deposited in shallow marine passive margin settings. Two major compositional types of itabirite, dolomitic and quartz itabirites, are found in the northwestern part of QF. The former consists of alternating dolomite-rich and hematite-rich bands, whereas the latter is formed with alternating quartz-rich and hematite-rich bands. Accessory minerals are chlorite, sericite, and apatite in both types.Dolomitic and quartz itabirites have a very simple chemical composition. In the dolomitic itabirite, Fe2O3 plus CaO, MgO, and LOI range from 95.8 to 97.8%, while in the quartz itabirite, Fe2O3 plus SiO2 range from 94.4 to 99.6%. Both itabirites are highly oxidized and present Fe3+/(Fe2+ + Fe3+) ratios higher than 0.98, by far superior than the average ratios of Paleoproterozoic BIFs. Trace element concentrations in itabirites are very low, ranging from <10 to 55 ppm. Dolomite shows negative δ13C values varying from −2.5 to −0.8‰ versus PDB, while the oxygen isotope data display δ18O values varying from −12.4 to −8.5‰ versus PDB. The δ13C values of the dolomitic itabirite are in the same range of those of the overlying stromatolitic dolomites of the Gandarela Formation. C and O isotopes, REE signatures, and Y/Ho ratios suggest a marine origin for the sediments of the Cauê Formation. The HREE enrichment pattern exhibited by the itabirites shows a modern seawater REE signature overprinted by a hydrothermal pattern marked by positive Eu anomalies. Very low contents of Al2O3 and TiO2 and a strong positive correlation between them indicate a minor terrigenous component in the chemically-precipitated marine sediments of the Cauê Formation. Differences in the HREE signatures of itabirites suggest that dolomitic itabirite precipitated in shallower waters receiving sediments from the continent, while quartz itabirite precipitated in deeper waters. Sea-level fluctuations caused by marine transgression–regressions possibly contributed to changes in the composition and varied input of the terrigenous sediments. These changes are expressed by the co-existence of dolomitic, quartz, and amphibolitic itabirites in the Cauê Formation, which represent lateral and vertical facies transitions of dolomitic, cherty, and shaly BIFs, respectively.  相似文献

Hydrothermal sediment mineralogy and geochemistry can provide insights into seafloor mineralization processes and changes through time. We report a geochemical investigation of a short (22 cm) near-vent hydrothermal metalliferous sediment core from the Lucky Strike site (LS), on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR). The sediment was collected from the base of an active white smoker vent and comprises pure hydrothermal precipitates, mainly chalcopyrite, sphalerite, pyrite and barite, with negligible detrital and biogenic inputs. Geochemically, the core is enriched in elements derived from high-temperature hydrothermalism (Fe, Cu, Zn and Ba) and depleted in elements derived from low-temperature hydrothermalism (Mn), and metasomatism (Mg). The U/Fe content ratio is elevated, particularly in the deeper parts of the core, consistent with uptake from seawater associated with sulphide alteration. Rare earth elements (REE) concentrations are low and chondrite-normalized patterns are characteristic of high-temperature vent fluids with an enrichment in light REE and a pronounced positive Eu anomaly. A stronger positive Eu anomaly associated with higher Lan/Smn at the core top is controlled by barite precipitation. The hydrothermal influence on the REE decreases downcore with some evidence for a stronger seawater influence at depth. Nd isotopes also exhibit an increased detrital/seawater influence downcore. Pb isotope ratios are uniform and plot on the Northern Hemisphere Reference Line in a small domain defined by LS basalts and exhibit no detrital or seawater influence. Lucky Strike sediments are derived from high-temperature mineralization and are overprinted by a weak seawater–sediment interaction when compared with other Atlantic hydrothermal sites such as TAG. The larger seawater input and/or a larger detrital contribution in deeper layers can be explained by variable hydrothermal activity during sediment formation, suggesting different pulses in activity of the LS hydrothermal system.  相似文献
