Synorogenic veins from the Proterozoic Eastern Mount Isa Fold Belt contain three different types of fluid inclusions: CO2-rich, aqueous two-phase and rare multiphase. Inclusions of CO2 without a visible H2O phase are particularly common. The close association of CO2-rich inclusions with aqueous two-phase, and possibly multiphase inclusions suggests that phase separation of low- to -moderate
salinity CO2-rich hydrothermal fluids led to the selective entrapment of the CO2. Microthermometric results indicate that CO2-rich inclusions homogenize between –15.5 and +29.9 °C which corresponds to densities of 0.99 to 0.60 g.cm−3. The homogenization temperatures of the associated aqueous two-phase inclusions are 127–397 °C, with salinities of 0.5 to
18.1 wt.% NaCl equivalent. The rarely observed multiphase inclusions homogenize between 250 and 350 °C, and have salinities
ranging from 34.6 to 41.5 wt.% NaCl equivalent. Evidence used to support the presence of fluid immiscibility in this study
is mainly derived from observations of coexisting H2O-rich and CO2-rich inclusions in groups and along the same trail. In addition, these two presumably unmixed fluids are also found on adjacent
fractures where monophase CO2-rich inclusions are closely related to H2O-rich inclusions. Similar CO2-rich inclusions are widespread in mineral deposits in this region, which are simply metal-enriched synorogenic veins. Therefore,
we argue that fluid immiscibility caused volatile species such as CO2 and H2S to be lost from liquid, thus triggering ore deposition by increasing the fluid pH and decreasing the availability of complexing
ligands.

Fluid inclusions were studied in quartz samples from early (stage I) gold-poor quartz veins and later (stage II) gold- and
sulphide-rich quartz veins from the Wenyu, Dongchuang, Qiangma, and Guijiayu mesothermal gold deposits in the Xiaoqinling
district, China. Fluid inclusion petrography, microthermometry, and bulk gas analyses show remarkably consistent fluid composition
in all studied deposits. Primary inclusions in quartz samples are dominated by mixed CO2-H2O inclusions, which have a wide range in CO2 content and coexist with lesser primary CO2-rich and aqueous inclusions. In addition, a few secondary aqueous inclusions are found along late-healed fractures. Microthermometry
and bulk gas analyses suggest hydrothermal fluids with typically 15–30 mol% CO2 in stage I inclusions and 10–20 mol% CO2 in stage II inclusions. Estimates of fluid salinity decrease from 7.4–9.2 equivalent wt.% NaCl to 5.7–7.4 equivalent wt.%
NaCl between stage I and II. Primary aqueous inclusions in both stages show consistent salinity with, but slightly lower Th
total than, their coexistent CO2-H2O inclusions. The coexisting CO2-rich, CO2-H2O, and primary aqueous inclusions in both stage I and II quartz are interpreted to have been trapped during unmixing of a
homogeneous CO2-H2O parent fluid. The homogenisation temperatures of the primary aqueous inclusions give an estimate of trapping temperature
of the fluids. Trapping conditions are typically 300–370 °C and 2.2 kbar for stage I fluids and 250–320 °C and 1.6 kbar for
stage II fluids. The CO2-H2O stage I and II fluids are probably from a magmatic source, most likely devolatilizing Cretaceous Yanshanian granitoids.
The study demonstrates that gold is largely deposited as pressures and temperatures fall accompanying fluid immiscibility
in stage II veins.

Scheelite mineralization accompanied by muscovite and albite, and traces of Mo-stolzite and stolzite occurs in epigenetic
quartz vein systems hosted by two-mica gneissic schists, and locally amphibolites, of the Paleozoic or older Vertiskos Formation,
in the Metaggitsi area, central Chalkidiki, N Greece. Three types of primary fluid inclusions coexist in quartz and scheelite:
type 1, the most abundant, consists of mixed H2O-CO2 inclusions with highly variable (20–90 vol.%) CO2 contents and salinities between 0.2 and 8.3 equivalent weight % NaCl. Densities range from 0.79 to 0.99 g/cc; type 1 inclusions
contain also traces (<2 mol%) of CH4. Type 2 inclusions are nearly 100 vol.% liquid CO2, with traces of CH4, and densities between 0.75 and 0.88 g/cc. Type 3 inclusions, the least abundant, contain an aqueous liquid of low salinity
(0.5 to 8.5 equivalent weight% NaCl) with 10–30 vol.% H2O gas infrequently containing also small amounts of CO2 (<2 mol%); densities range from 0.72 to 0.99 g/cc. The wide range of coexisting fluid inclusion compositions is interpreted
as a result of fluid immiscibility during entrapment. Immiscibility is documented by the partitioning of CH4 and CO2, into gas-rich (CO2-rich) type 1 inclusions, and the conformity of end-member compositions trapped in type 1 inclusions to chemical equilibrium
fractionation at the minimum measured homogenization temperatures, and calculated homogenization pressures. Minimum measured
homogenization temperatures of aqueous and gas-rich type 1 inclusions of 220°–250 °C, either to the H2O, or to the CO2 phase, is considered the best estimate of temperature of formation of the veins, and temperature of scheelite deposition.
Corresponding fluid pressures were between 1.2 and 2.6 kbar. Oxygen fugacities during mineralization varied from 10−35 to 10−31 bar and were slightly above the synthetic Ni-NiO buffer values. The fluid inclusion data combined with δ18O water values of 3 to 6 per mil (SMOW) and δ13C CO2− fluid of −1.2 to +4.3 per mil (PDB), together with geologic data, indicate generation of mineralizing fluids primarily by
late- to post-metamorphic devolatilization reactions.

The Archean Shawmere anorthosite lies within the granulite facies portion of the Kapuskasing Structural Zone (KSZ), Ontario,
and is crosscut by numerous linear alteration veins containing calcite + quartz ± dolomite ± zoisite ± clinozoisite ± margarite ±paragonite ± chlorite.
These veins roughly parallel the trend of the Ivanhoe Lake Cataclastic Zone. Equilibria involving clinozoisite + margarite + quartz ± calcite
± plagioclase show that the vein minerals were stable at T < 600 °C, XCO2 < 0.4 at P ≈ 6 kbar. The stabilities of margarite and paragonite in equilibrium with quartz are also consistent with T < 600 °C and XCO2 < 0.4 at 6 kbar. Additional assemblages consisting of calcite + clinochlore + quartz + talc + margarite indicate T < 500 °C with XCO2 > 0.9. Thus, vein formation, while clearly retrograde, spanned a range of temperatures, and fluid compositions evolved from
H2O-rich to CO2-rich. The calcite in the retrograde veins has δ18O values that range from 8.4 to 11.2‰ (average = +9.7 ± 0.9‰) and δ13C values that range from −3.9 to −1.6‰ (average = −3.1 ± 0.6‰). These values indicate that the fluids from which calcite precipitated
underwent extensive exchange with the anorthosite and other crustal lithologies. The fluids may have been initially derived
either from devolatilization of metamorphic rocks or crystallization of igneous rocks in the adjacent Abitibi subprovince.
Vein quartz contains CO2-rich fluid inclusions (final melting T = −57.0 to −58.7 °C) that range in size from 5 to 17 μm. Measured homogenization temperatures (T h) range from −44.0 to 14.5 °C, however for most inclusions (46 of S1), T h = −44.0 to −21.1 °C (ρCO2 ≈ 1.13 to 1.05 g/cm3). At 400 to 600 °C, these densities correspond to pressures of 3.5 to 7 kbar, which is the best estimate of pressures of
vein formation. It has been argued that some high density CO2-rich fluid inclusions found in the KSZ were formed during peak metamorphism and thus document the presence of a CO2-rich fluid during peak granulite facies metamorphism (Rudnick et al. 1984). The association of high density CO2-rich fluid inclusions with clearly retrograde veins documents the formation of similar composition and density inclusions
after the peak of metamorphism. Thus, the coincidence of entrapment pressures calculated from fluid inclusion density measurements
with peak metamorphic pressures alone should not be considered strong evidence for peak metamorphic inclusion entrapment.
All fluid inclusion results are consistent with an initially semi-isobaric retrograde P–T path.

Phase equilibria in the ternary system H2O-CO2-NaCl were studied at 800 °C and 9 kbar in internally heated gas pressure vessels using a modified synthetic fluid inclusion
technique. The low rate of quartz overgrowth along the `b' and `a' axes of quartz crystals was used to avoid fluid inclusion
formation during heating, prior to attainment of equilibrium run conditions. The density of CO2 in the synthetic fluid inclusions was calibrated using inclusions in the binary H2O-CO2 system synthesised by the same method and measured on the same heating-freezing stage. In the two-phase field, two types
of fluid inclusions with different densities of CO2 were observed. Using mass balance calculations, these inclusions are used to constrain the miscibility gap and the orientation
of two-phase tie-lines in the H2O-CO2-NaCl system at 800 °C and 9 kbar. The equation of state of Duan et al. (1995) approximately describes the P-T section of the ternary system up to about 40 wt% of NaCl. At higher NaCl concentrations the measured solubility of CO2 in the brine is much smaller than predicted by the EOS. A “salting out” effect must be added to the equation of state to
include coulomb interaction in the model of Anderko and Pitzer (1993) and Pitzer and Jiang (1996). The new experimental data
together with published data up to 5 kbar (Shmulovich et al. 1995) encompass practically all subsolidus crustal P-T conditions. A feature of the new experimental results is the large compositional range in the H2O-CO2-NaCl system occupied by the stability fields of halite + CO2-rich fluid ± H2O-NaCl brine. The prediction of halite stability in equilibrium with CO2-rich fluid in deep-crustal rocks is supported by recent petrological and fluid inclusion studies of granulites.

Gold ore-forming fluids of the Tanami region, Northern Australia 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Fluid inclusion studies have been carried out on major gold deposits and prospects in the Tanami region to determine the compositions
of the associated fluids and the processes responsible for gold mineralization. Pre-ore, milky quartz veins contain only two-phase
aqueous inclusions with salinities ≤19 wt% NaCl eq. and homogenization temperatures that range from 110 to 410°C. In contrast,
the ore-bearing veins typically contain low to moderate salinity (<14 wt% NaCl eq.), H2O + CO2 ± CH4 ± N2-bearing fluids. The CO2-bearing inclusions coexist with two-phase aqueous inclusions that exhibit a wider range of salinities (≤21 wt% NaCl eq.).
Post-ore quartz and carbonate veins contain mainly two-phase aqueous inclusions, with a last generation of aqueous inclusions
being very CaCl2-rich. Salinities range from 7 to 33 wt% NaCl eq. and homogenization temperatures vary from 62 to 312°C. Gold deposits in
the Tanami region are hosted by carbonaceous or iron-rich sedimentary rocks and/or mafic rocks. They formed over a range of
depths at temperatures from 200 to 430°C. The Groundrush deposit formed at the greatest temperatures and depths (260–430°C
and ≤11 km), whereas deposits in the Tanami goldfield formed at the lowest temperatures (≥200°C) and at the shallowest depths
(1.5–5.6 km). There is also evidence in the Tanami goldfield for late-stage isothermal mixing with higher salinity (≤21 wt%
NaCl eq.) fluids at temperatures between 100 and 200°C. Other deposits (e.g., The Granites, Callie, and Coyote) formed at
intermediate depths and at temperatures ranging from 240 to 360°C. All ore fluids contained CO2 ± N2 ± CH4, with the more deeply formed deposits being enriched in CH4 and higher level deposits being enriched in CO2. Fluids from deposits hosted mainly by sedimentary rocks generally contained appreciable quantities of N2. The one exception is the Tanami goldfield, where the quartz veins were dominated by aqueous inclusions with rare CO2-bearing inclusions. Calculated δ
18O values for the ore fluids range from 3.8 to 8.5‰ and the corresponding δD values range from −89 to −37‰. Measured δ
13C values from CO2 extracted from fluid inclusions ranged from −5.1 to −8.4‰. These data indicate a magmatic or mixed magmatic/metamorphic source
for the ore fluids in the Tanami region. Interpretation of the fluid inclusion, alteration, and structural data suggests that
mineralization may have occurred via a number of processes. Gold occurs in veins associated with brittle fracturing and other
dilational structures, but in the larger deposits, there is also an association with iron-rich rocks or carbonaceous sediments,
suggesting that both structural and chemical controls are important. The major mineralization process appears to be boiling/effervescence
of a gas-rich fluid, which leads to partitioning of H2S into the vapor phase resulting in gold precipitation. However, some deposits also show evidence of desulfidation by fluid–rock
interaction and/or reduction of the ore-fluid by fluid mixing. These latter processes are generally more prevalent in the
higher crustal-level deposits. 相似文献

Carbon dioxide-rich fluid and carbonate-rich aluminosilicate melt inclusions in tantalite-(Mn) from the Alto do Giz pegmatite
in the Borborema Pegmatite Province, northeastern Brazil were investigated to constrain the formation of the host crystals.
The results demonstrate that in the Alto do Giz pegmatite, water- and alkaline carbonate-rich fluids and melts are responsible
for the transport and deposition of tantalite-(Mn) at temperatures around 600°C and about 4 kbar. Moreover, evidence is presented
to show that during crystallization of the tantalite-(Mn), three different components coexisted, which are now trapped as
separate inclusions: two immiscible silicate melts (types A and B melt inclusions) and a CO2-rich aqueous fluid. We hypothesize that immiscible fluid separation may have been a critical factor in producing the water-
and alkaline carbonate-rich fluids and melts necessary for Ta and Nb transport. Since the tantalite-(Mn) crystallized during
pegmatite formation, this mechanism must also have implications for pegmatite genesis in general. 相似文献

Summary ?Fluid inclusions from two Mesoproterozoic, metamorphosed layered intrusive complexes, Niquelandia and Barro Alto, Goiás State,
Brazil record multiple fluid influx events from the magmatic to granulitic and retrograde metamorphic stages.
1. The oldest inclusions contain high density CO2 ± N2 ± CH4 and are found as primaries in plagioclase and orthopyroxene in mafic granulite with homogenization temperatures between − 48
and − 28 °C. These inclusions may correspond to the early, magmatic stage. This type was found in samples from both the Niquelandia
and the Barro Alto complexes.
2. Intragranular, relatively high density CO2 + N2 inclusions (Th between − 33 and − 26 °C) together with decrepitated and reequilibrated N2 inclusions (Th between − 160 and − 151 °C) in the rock-forming minerals can be associated with the granulite facies metamorphism. Such inclusions
were found only in the Barro Alto complex.
3. Transgranular, high density, CO2–N2 inclusions (93% CO2 and 7% N2, according to Raman analysis, with Th between − 66.6 and − 50.4 °C) as well as the low density, secondary CO2 ± N2 ± CH4 inclusions (Th between − 13.0 and + 18.7 °C) and the H2O–NaCl–CaCl2 hypersaline inclusions (with halite dissolution temperature between 132 and 354 °C, and Th between 212 and 490 °C) are attributed to different fluid influx events during the retrograde metamorphism. This inclusion
type can be found both in the Niquelandia and in the Barro Alto complexes.
The fluid inclusion textures and compositions show several stages of fluid evolution. The fluid inclusion measurements and
the geothermobarometric data indicate an anticlockwise P-T path for both the Barro Alto and the Niquelandia complexes.

Equilibrium C–O–H fluid speciation calculations predict that graphite will precipitate from initially graphite saturated
fluid inclusions during cooling and exhumation of metamorphic rocks. In the case that no mass is gained or lost by the inclusions,
the original X
O ratio [O/(O+H)] of the fluid phase must be maintained. Given this closed system constraint, the down-temperature progress
of graphite precipitation can easily be monitored as a function of the varible X
O, and produces some effects that are of significance to fluid inclusion studies: 1. Variation of the H2O : CO2 : CH4 relationship in the graphite-saturated COH fluid, namely increase of X
H2
O and decrease of the carbonic fraction; 2. Decrease of fluid density due to precipitation of graphite, which is denser than
the residual fluid; 3. Alteration of the CO2 : CH4 ratio of the fluid, depending on the initial O : H ratio of the fluid: for X
O>1/3, fluids increase their CO2 : CH4 ratio with decreasing temperature, and vice-versa. This implies that the CO2 : CH4 ratio measured at room T will not represent the trapping value, which is in any case closer to unity. As a consequence of density reduction, isochores
extrapolated from densities observed at room temperature do not pass through the pressure-temperature conditions at which
the inclusion was trapped, with pressure underestimates of up to 2 kbar. Actual P-T trapping conditions are located along the equilibrium “bulk isochore” (curve of constant-X
O, constant-volume) of the fluid. Alteration of the CO2 : CH4 ratio is a mechanism by which a CO2-rich or CH4-rich carbonic phase can be formed from aqueous fluids that are slightly off the neutral X
O=1/3 value. Subsequent segregation of this phase from the aqueous counterpart may account for the formation of pure CO2 and CH4 fluids in the upper crust.

The nature, origin and physicochemical controls of hydrothermal Mo-Bi mineralization in the Cadillac deposit, Quebec, Canada 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
Mo-Bi mineralization occurs in subvertical and subhorizontal quartz-muscovite-± K-feldspar veins surrounded by early albitic
and later K-feldspathic alteration halos in monzogranite of the Archean Preissac pluton, Abitibi region, Québec, Canada. Molybdenite
is intergrown with muscovite in the veins or associated with K-feldspar in the alteration halos. Mineralized veins contain
five main types of fluid inclusions: aqueous liquid and liquid-vapor inclusions, aqueous carbonic liquid-liquid-vapor inclusions,
carbonic liquid and vapor inclusions, halite-bearing aqueous liquid and liquid-vapor inclusions, trapped mineral-bearing aqueous
liquid and liquid-vapor inclusions. The carbonic solid in frozen carbonic and aqueous-carbonic inclusions melts in most cases
at −56.7 ± 0.1 °C indicating that the carbonic fluid consists largely of CO2. All aqueous inclusion types and the aqueous phase in carbonic inclusions have low initial melting temperatures (≥70 °C),
requiring the presence of salts other than NaCl. Leachate analyses show that the bulk fluid contains variable proportions
of Na, K, Ca, Cl, and traces of Mg and Li. The following solids were identified in the fluid inclusions by SEM-EDS analysis:
halite, calcite, muscovite, millerite (NiS), barite and antarcticite (CaCl2 · 6H2O). All are interpreted to be trapped phases except halite which is a daughter mineral, and antarcticite which formed during
sample preparation (freezing). Aqueous inclusions homogenize to liquid at temperatures between 75 °C and 400 °C; the mode
is 375 °C. Aqueous-carbonic inclusions homogenize to liquid or vapor between 210 °C and 400 °C. Halite-bearing aqueous inclusions
homogenize by halite dissolution at approximately 170 °C. Aqueous inclusions containing trapped solids exhibit liquid-vapor
homogenization at temperatures similar to those of halite-bearing aqueous inclusions. Temperatures of vein formation, based
on oxygen isotopic fractionation between quartz and muscovite, range from 342 °C to 584 °C. The corresponding oxygen isotope
composition of the aqueous fluid in equilibrium with these minerals ranges from 1.2 to 5.5 per mil with a mean of 3.9 per
mil, suggesting that the liquid had a significant meteoric component. Isochores for aqueous fluid inclusions intersect the
modal isotopic isotherm of 425 °C at pressures between 590 and 1900 bar. A model is proposed in which molybdenite was deposited
owing to decreasing temperature and/or pressure from CO2-bearing, moderate to high salinity fluids of mixed magmatic-meteoric origin that were in equilibrium with K-feldspar and
muscovite. These fluids resulted from the degassing of a monzogranitic magma and evolved through interaction with volcanic
(komatiitic) and sedimentary country rocks.

The Jinman Cu deposit is hosted in sandstones and slates of the Jurassic Huakaizuo Formation in the Mesozoic to Cenozoic Lanping
basin in western Yunnan, China. Despite the fact that Cu mineralization occurs mainly in quartz–carbonate veins controlled
by faults and fractures, the Jinman deposit was classified as a sediment-hosted stratiform Cu deposit, mainly because it is
hosted in a sedimentary basin characterized by abundant red beds with many stratiform Cu deposits. A detailed petrographic
and microthermometric study of fluid inclusions from the Jinman deposit reveals the presence of abundant CO2-rich fluid inclusions, together with aqueous inclusions. The CO2-rich inclusions have CO2 melting temperatures mainly from −58.0°C to −56.6°C, homogenization temperatures of the carbonic phase (mostly into the liquid
phase) mainly between 22°C and 30°C, clathrate melting temperatures from 1.8°C to 9.2°C, with corresponding salinities from
1.6 to 13.4 wt.% NaCl equivalent, and total homogenization temperatures from 226°C to 330°C. The aqueous inclusions have first
melting temperatures from −60°C to −52°C, ice melting temperatures from −41.4°C to −2.3°C, with salinities from 3.9 to 29.0 wt.%
NaCl equivalent, and total homogenization temperatures mainly from 140°C to 250°C. These fluid inclusion characteristics are
comparable to those of orogenic or magmatic mineralization systems and are uncharacteristic of basinal mineralization systems,
suggesting that it is inappropriate to classify the Jinman deposit as a sediment-hosted stratiform Cu deposit. The results
of this study, together with geochemical data reported previously, suggest that the Jinman deposit formed in a hydrothermal
system that involved both extra-basinal, deeply sourced CO2-rich fluid and basinal, aqueous fluid. 相似文献

The Khtada Lake. British Columbia, metamorphic complex consists of high grade amphibolite and metasedimentary units with development of gneiss, migmatite and homogeneous autochthonous plutons. Maximum metamorphic conditions are estimated to have exceeded 5 kbar and 700°C.Fluid inclusions in matrix quartz are highly variable in density and composition, ranging from apparently pure CO2 (gas or liquid or both at room temperature) through CO2 + H2O ± CH4 mixtures to inclusions which are entirely aqueous. They occur along cracks, in groups without planar features and as isolated inclusions. The latter and some which occur in groups, are interpreted to most nearly approximate, in density and composition, the fluids present during the peak of metamorphism.The density and fluid composition data are derived from direct observations of phase changes between ? 180 and + 380°C and from the application of published experimental data in the system CH4-CO2-H2O-NaCl. The most dense, pure CO2 inclusions indicate a pressure of entrapment at 5 kbar, if a temperature of 700°C is assumed. This is in close agreement with the minimum P-T estimates from the mineral assemblages. Methane was positively identified in inclusions in graphite-bearing specimens. Salt content is concluded to be about 5–6 wt% NaCl equivalent in the aqueous phase in both aqueous and CO2 + H2O inclusions. There is evidence of immiscible separation of CO2-rich and H2O-rich fluids at temperatures at least as high as 375°C. 相似文献

High CO2 content of fluid inclusions in gold mineralisations in the Ashanti Belt, Ghana: a new category of ore forming fluids? 总被引：4，自引：0，他引：4
Fluid inclusions were studied in samples from the Ashanti, Konongo-Southern Cross, Prestea, Abosso/Damang and Ayanfuri gold
deposits in the Ashanti Belt, Ghana. Primary fluid inclusions in quartz from mineralised veins of the Ashanti, Prestea, Konongo-Southern
Cross, and Abosso/Damang deposits contain almost exclusively volatile species. The primary setting of the gaseous (i.e. the
fluid components CO2, CH4 and N2) fluid inclusions in clusters and intragranular trails suggests that they represent the mineralising fluids. Microthermometric
and Raman spectroscopic analyses of the inclusions revealed a CO2 dominated fluid with variable contents of N2 and traces of CH4. Water content of most inclusions is below the detection limits of the respective methods used. Aqueous inclusions are rare
in all samples with the exception of those from the granite-hosted Ayanfuri mineralisation. Here inclusions associated with
the gold mineralisation contain a low salinity (<6 eq.wt.% NaCl) aqueous solution with variable quantities of CO2. Microthermometric investigations revealed densities of the gaseous inclusions of 0.65 to 1.06 g/cm3 at Ashanti, 0.85 to 0.98 g/cm3 at Prestea, up to 1.02 g/cm3 at Konongo-Southern Cross, and 0.8 to 1.0 g/cm3 at Abosso/Damang. The fluid inclusion data are used to outline the PT ranges of gold mineralisation of the respective gold deposits. The high density gaseous inclusions found in the auriferous
quartz at Ashanti and Prestea imply rather high pressure trapping conditions of up to 5.4 kbar. In contrast, mineralisation
at Ayanfuri and Abosso/Damang is inferred to have occurred at lower pressures of only up to 2.2 kbar. Mesothermal gold mineralisation
is generally regarded to have formed from fluids characterized by H2O > CO2 and low salinity ( ± 6 eq.wt.%NaCl). However, fluid inclusions in quartz from the gold mineralisations in the Ashanti belt
point to distinctly different fluid compositions. Specifically, the predominance of CO2 and CO2 >> H2O have to be emphasized. Fluid systems with this unique bulk composition were apparently active over more than 200␣km along
strike of the Ashanti belt. Fluids rich in CO2 may present a hitherto unrecognised new category of ore-forming fluids.

The Southern Marginal Zone of the Limpopo Belt in South Africa is characterised by a granulite and retrograde hydrated granulite terrane. The Southern Marginal Zone is, therefore, perfectly suitable to study fluids during and after granulite facies metamorphism by means of fluid inclusions and equilibrium calculations. Isolated and clustered high-salinity aqueous and CO2(-CH4) fluid inclusions within quartz inclusions in garnet in metapelites demonstrate that these immiscible low H2O activity fluids were present under peak metamorphic conditions (800-850 °C, 7.5-8.5 kbar). The absence of widespread high-temperature metasomatic alteration indicates that the brine fluid was probably only locally present in small quantities. Thermocalc calculations demonstrate that the peak metamorphic mineral assemblage in mafic granulites was in equilibrium with a fluid with a low H2O activity (0.2-0.3). The absence of water in CO2-rich fluid inclusions is due to either observation difficulties or selective water leakage. The density of CO2 inclusions in trails suggests a retrograde P-T path dominated by decompression at T<600 °C. Re-evaluation of previously published data demonstrates that retrograde hydration of the granulites at 600 °C occurred in the presence of H2O and CO2-rich fluids under P-T conditions of 5-6 kbar and ~600 °C. The different compositions of the hydrating fluid suggest more than one fluid source. 相似文献

Summary We present new mineral chemistry, fluid inclusion, stable carbon and oxygen, as well as Pb, Sr, and Nd isotope data of Ca-Mg-silicate-rich
ejecta (skarns) and associated cognate and xenolithic nodules from the Mt. Somma-Vesuvius volcanic complex, Italy. The typically
zoned skarn ejecta consist mainly of diopsidic and hedenbergitic, sometimes “fassaitic” clinopyroxene, Mg-rich and Ti-poor
phlogopite, F-bearing vesuvianite, wollastonite, gehlenite, meionite, forsterite, clinohumite, anorthite and Mg-poor calcite
with accessory apatite, spinell, magnetite, perovskite, baddeleyite, and various REE-, U-, Th-, Zr- and Ti-rich minerals.
Four major types of fluid inclusions were observed in wollastonite, vesuvianite, gehlenite, clinopyroxene and calcite: a)
primary silicate melt inclusions (THOM = 1000–1050 °C), b) CO2 ± H2S-rich fluid inclusions (THOM = 20–31.3 °C into the vapor phase), c) multiphase aqueous brine inclusions (THOM = 720–820 °C) with mainly sylvite and halite daughter minerals, and d) complex chloride-carbonate-sulfate-fluoride-silicate-bearing
saline-melt inclusions (THOM = 870–890 °C). The last inclusion type shows evidence for immiscibility between several fluids (silicate melt – aqueous chloride-rich
liquid – carbonate/sulfate melt?) during heating and cooling below 870 °C. There is no evidence for fluid circulation below
700 °C and participation of externally derived meteoric fluids in skarn formation. Skarns have considerably variable 206Pb/204Pb (19.047–19.202), 207Pb/204Pb (15.655–15.670), and 208Pb/204Pb (38.915–39.069) and relatively low 143Nd/144Nd (0.51211–0.51244) ratios. The carbon and oxygen isotope compositions of skarn calcites (δ13CV-PDB = −5.4 to −1.1‰; δ18OV-SMOW = 11.7 to 16.4‰) indicate formation from a 18O- and 13C-enriched fluid. The isotope composition of skarns and the presence of silicate melt inclusion-bearing wollastonite nodules
suggests assimilation of carbonate wall rocks by the alkaline magma at moderate depths (< 5 km) and consequent exsolution
of CO2-rich vapor and complex saline melts from the contaminated magma that reacted with the carbonate rocks to form skarns.

A microthermometric study of inclusions in granites and pegmatites in the Proterozoic Harney Peak Granite system identified four types of inclusions. Type 1 inclusions are mixtures of CO2 and H2O and have low salinities, on average 3.5 wt.% NaCleq; type 2 inclusions are aqueous solutions of variable salinities, from 0 to 40% wt.% NaCleq; type 3 inclusions are carbonic, dominated by CO2, with no detectable water; and type 4 inclusions consist of 20 to 100% solids, with the remaining volume occupied by a CO2-H2O fluid. Many inclusions have a secondary character; however, a primary character can be unambiguously established in several occurrences of the type 1 inclusions. These inclusions were trapped above the solidus and represent the exsolved magmatic fluid. The secondary populations of types 1, 2, and 3 probably formed as a result of reequilibration and unmixing of the type 1 fluid that progressively changed composition and density with decreasing temperature and pressure and was finally trapped along healed microfractures under subsolidus conditions. Type 4 inclusions are primary and are interpreted to be trapped, fluid-bearing, complex silicate melts that subsequently solidified or underwent other posttrapping changes.It is demonstrated that primary type 1 fluid inclusions that coexist with crystallized melt inclusions in the complex, Li-bearing Tin Mountain pegmatite were trapped along the two-fluid phase boundary in the system CO2-H2O-NaCleq. Consequently, the temperature and pressure conditions of trapping are identical to the bulk homogenization conditions—on average 340°C and 2.7 kbar. These conditions indicate that this Li-, Cs-, Rb-, P-, and B-rich pegmatite crystallized at some of the lowest known temperatures for a silicate melt in the crust. An internally consistent, empirical solvus surface in P-T-XCO2 coordinates was generated for the pseudobinary CO2-(H2O-4.3 wt.% NaCleq) pegmatite fluid system. Distribution coefficients for the major species CO2, H2O, NaCl, and CH4 between the immiscible CO2-rich and H2O-rich fluid phases as a function of pressure and temperature were extracted from data for the two cogenetic fluid inclusions types. 相似文献

Fluid infiltration into retrograde granulites of the Southern Marginal Zone(Limpopo high grade terrain)is exemplified by hydration reactions.shear zone hosted metasomatism,and lode gold mineralisation.Hydration reactions include the breakdown of cordierite and orthopyroxene to gedrite kyanite,and anthophyllite,respectively.Metamorphic petrology,fluid inclusions,and field data indicate that a low H_2O-activity carbon-saturated CO_2-rich and a saline aqueous fluid infiltrated the Southern Marginal Zone during exhumation.The formation of anthophyllite after orthopyroxene eslablished a regional retrograde anthophyllite-in isograd and occurred at P-T conditions of- 6 kbar and 610 C,which fixes the minimum mole fraction of II.0 in the CO_2-rich fluid phase at- 0.1.The maximum H_2O mole fraction is hxed by the lower temperature limit(~800℃) for partial melting at ~0.3.C-O-H fluid calculations show that the CO_2-rich fluid had an oxygen fugacity that was 0.6 log10 units higher than that of the fayalite-magnetitequartz buffer and that the CO_2/(CO_2+CH_4) mole ratio of this fluid was 1.The presence of dominantly relatively low density CO_2-rich fluid inclusions in the hydrated granulites indicates that the fluid pressure was less than the lithostatic pressure.This can be explained by strike slip faulting and/or an increase of the rock permeability caused by hydration reactions. 相似文献

Well-formed, texturally-early fluid inclusions in garnets from the Archean Pikwitonei granulite domain, Manitoba, Canada,
have been analyzed using microthermometric methods. The mean CO2 homogenization temperature (to liquid) for inclusions in 12 of 13 samples from the Cauchon Lake-Nelson River area is +15.2°
C (n=125, 2σ=8.2° C), corresponding to a CO2 density of 0.82 g/cm3. Inclusions in the remaining sample have somewhat lower CO2 homogenization temperatures (mean=+5.4° C, n=24). The studied inclusions contain an estimated 10 to 20 vol. percent H2O, with minor amounts of other fluid species such as CH4, N2, and/or H2S. The fluid inclusions were probably trapped during early garnet growth at relatively low pressures (≤5 kbar if at 750° C),
and appear to have undergone only limited or possibly no subsequent re-equilibration. This interpretation is consistent with
the “anti-clock-wise” P-T-t path (heating before loading) determined for the Pikwitonei region by other workers. For such a prograde path, inclusions
entrapped early, at high temperatures but at relatively low pressures, would experience internal underpressures during most
of the subsequent prograde and retrograde phases of metamorphism. The texturally-early fluid inclusions in garnets from the
Pikwitonei region therefore cannot be used to provide direct information about the highest metamorphic temperature and pressure conditions (750° C and 7 kbar). However, the results obtained in this study suggest that texturally-early fluid
inclusions in garnets may, in some cases, retain evidence of the prograde metamorphic path. 相似文献

ABSTRACT The metasedimentary sequence of the Deep Freeze Range (northern Victoria Land, Antarctica) experienced high-T/low-F metamorphism during the Cambro-Ordovician Ross orogeny. The reaction Bt + Sil + Qtz = Grt + Crd + Kfs + melt was responsible for the formation of migmatites. Peak conditions were c. 700–750° C, c. 3.5–5 kbar and xH2Oc. 0.5). Distribution of fluid inclusions is controlled by host rock type: (1) CO2-H2O fluid inclusions occur only in graphite-free leucosomes; (2) CO2–CH4± H2O fluid inclusions are the most common type in leucosomes, and in graphite-bearing mesosomes and gneiss; and (3) CO2–N2–CH4 fluid inclusions are observed only in the gneiss, and subordinately in mesosomes. CO2–H2O mixtures (41% CO2, 58% H2O, 1% Nad mol.%) are interpreted as remnants of a synmig-matization fluid; their composition and density are compatible P–T–aH2O conditions of migmatization (c. 750° C, c. 4 kbar, xH2Oc. 0.5). CO2-H2O fluid in graphite-free leucosomes cannot originate via partial melting of graphite-bearing mesosomes in a closed system; this would have produced a mixed CO2–CH4 fluid in the leucosomes by a reaction such as Bt + Sil + Qtz + C ± H2O = Grt + Crd + Kfs + L + CO2+ CH4. We conclude that an externally derived oxidizing CO2-H2O fluid was present in the middle crust and initiated anatexis. High-density CO2-rich fluid with traces of CH4 characterizes the retrograde evolution of these rocks at high temperatures and support isobaric cooling (P–T anticlockwise path). In unmigmatized gneiss, mixed CO2–N2–CH4 fluid yields isochores compatible with peak metamorphic conditions (c. 700–750° C, c. 4–4.5 kbar); they may represent a peak metamorphic fluid that pre-dated the migmatization. 相似文献

Gold mineralization in the Kolar schist belt of the Dharwar craton occurs dominantly in the form of a sulfide-poor Au-quartz
lode (the Champion lode exposed in the Mysore and other mines) and sulfide-rich auriferous lodes (from the Nundydroog mine).
Fluid inclusion microthermometric experiments were conducted on primary inclusions in quartz intimately associated with Au-mineralization.
Homogenization studies on aqueous-biphase (L + V), aqueous polyphase (L + V+ halite) and aqueous-carbonic (LCO2± VCO2 + Laq) inclusions from the Champion lode furnish a temperature range of 120 to 420 °C. Freezing of aqueous biphase inclusions and
dissolution of halite in the aqueous polyphase inclusions provide salinity of 5 to 50 wt.% NaCl equivalent. Fluid inclusion
thermobarometry from the total homogenization of aqueous-carbonic inclusions and from intersecting isochores of coeval pure-carbonic
(LCO2± VCO2) and pure-aqueous inclusions constrain the P-T path of evolution of the fluid in the Champion lode. Gold precipitation was likely to have been brought about in response
to a sharp fall in pressure with attendant unmixing of liquid-CO2 from the parent H2O-CO2 fluid of possible metamorphic origin. This would imply transportation of gold by some pressure-sensitive complex such as
the Au-carbonyl. Fluid characteristics are different in the sulfide-rich auriferous lodes, as indicated by the virtual absence
of the CO2-bearing and the halite-bearing inclusions. The fluid evolution path, as evident from the crude positive colinearity of temperature
and salinity, is due to mixing of a low (≤200 °C) temperature-low saline (≤7 wt.% NaCl equivalent) fluid with a high temperature
(≥400 °C)-high saline (≥50 wt.% NaCl equivalent) fluid. The lack of CO2 and association of Au with sulfides indicate a different mode of gold transport, as chloride or bisulfide complexing, deposition
of which was possibly brought about by fluid mixing.
