Extensive horizons of pyritic shale occur in Mid-Proterozoic sediments of the eastern Belt basin, Montana, U.S.A. These pyritic shales are of striped appearance. Laminated pyrite beds alternate with nonpyritic shale beds. Laminated pyrite beds have wavycrinkly internal laminae and are interpreted as mineralized microbial mats. Pyrite is essentially the only sulfide mineral in these shales. Pyritic shale horizons occur along the basin margins, and it is feasible that colloidal iron was introduced by rivers into basin marginal lagoons and then incorporated into microbial mats and reduced to pyrite. The pyritic shales in the Newland Formation show great similarity to those that host the Pb-Zn deposits of Mt. Isa and McArthur River. It is suggested that pyritic shales of this kind are relatively common in Mid-Proterozoic shales, and that the processes that led to the occasional formation of Pb-Zn ore bodies in these shales are not related to those that formed the pyritic shales themselves. 相似文献

In previous investigations, nearshore pyritic shale horizons in the Mid-Proterozoic Newland Formation were interpreted to be due to non-clastic colloidal iron supply by streams. New data on the chemical composition of shales in the Newland Formation support this interpretation. In these shales, Fe and Al show a positively correlated trend that intercepts the Fe axis above the origin. These relationships suggest control of Fe by clays (via iron oxide coatings on clay minerals), and the presence of an additional, non-clastic iron component. Shales from stratigraphic intervals during which pyritic shale horizons were deposited plot above the Fe/Al trend typical for the remainder of the Newland Formation.Pyritic shale horizons in sediments are favourable hosts for base-metal deposits of the pyrite-replacement type. Fe/Al relationships as found in the Newland Formation may help to identify stratigraphic horizons in other sedimentary basins that contain pyritic shale horizons and potentially base-metal mineralization. 相似文献

The Black Butte copper deposits (formerly known as Sheep Creek) are a group of sediment hosted, laterally extensive Cu–(Co–Ag) deposits hosted in dolomitic shale of the mid-Proterozoic Newland Formation. Copper–cobalt mineralization occurs in zones of massive, laminated pyrite that were locally reworked and infiltrated by Cu-rich fluids during early diagenesis. Cobalt, along with substantial nickel and arsenic, mainly occurs as impurities within early, porous pyrite, or as minute grains of sulpharsenides (i.e., cobaltite, glaucodot, and/or alloclasite). Later thermal events remobilized the Co, Ni, and As to form intergrowths of siegenite (Co,Ni)3S4 and tennantite. The temperature of this later event is constrained by the mineralogical assemblage to have been relatively low, between 125 and 225 °C. Although many of the characteristics of SEDEX-type deposits are present at Black Butte (e.g., laterally extensive massive pyrite horizons, interbedded black shales, abundant barite and local phosphate horizons, and rifted continental margin setting), the lack of economic Pb and Zn mineralization in the main deposits, and the abundance of Cu with high Co, is more typical of sediment-hosted stratiform copper deposits. The Neihart Formation, a hematitic quartz sandstone resting below the base of the Belt Supergroup, may have been an important source bed for Cu–Co–Ni–Ag fluids. It is speculated that these fluids, ideal for forming Cu deposits, were expelled along growth faults near the margin of the Belt Basin and deposited metals on or just below the sea floor in a setting that is typical of SEDEX deposits. This unique mineral deposit model may have applications to other districts where Cu–Co-rich sulfides are deposited in an exhalative setting. 相似文献

The possible role of benthic microbial mats during the formation of carbonaceous shales in shallow Mid-Proterozoic basins 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2

A considerable portion of the upper member of the Mid-Proterozoic Newland Formation, Meagher County, Montana, consists of carbonaceous silty shales (striped shale facies). This type of shale facies is common in Proterozoic basins and is host to several major base metal deposits. The striped shales were deposited in a subtidal setting, basinward of carbonates characterized by cryptalgal laminites, mudcracks and flat pebble conglomerates. The carbonaceous silty shales are considered remnants of benthic microbial mats. Irregular internal laminae, patterns of particle trapping, mechanical deformation during penecontemporaneous soft-sediment deformation and filamentous microbiota provide evidence for this interpretation. The dolomitic clayey shale contains graded silt-clay couplets, and these are interpreted as storm layers. Modern subtidal microbial mats can only survive under special conditions, but in the Proterozoic, it is suggested that benthic microbial mats colonized the shallow seafloor during periods of low sediment input, leading to the formation of carbonaceous shales. 相似文献

The Paleoproterozoic McArthur Basin (McArthur Group) of northern Australia hosts world-class sedimentary ‘exhalative’ (SEDEX) McArthur type Zn–Pb deposits, which are largely hosted within a sequence of 1.64 Ga pyritic carbonaceous shales deposited in an extensional rift setting. A well-known example of these is McArthur River (or Here's Your Chance [HYC] Zn–Pb–Ag deposit). The ~ 1.78 Ga McDermott and ~ 1.73 Ga Wollogorang formations (Tawallah Group) both contain carbonaceous shales deposited in similar environments. Our observations suggest the carbonaceous facies of the Wollogorang Formation were deposited under mostly euxinic conditions, with periodically-high concentrations of sedimentary pyrite deposition. The carbonaceous shales in the older McDermott Formation contain considerably less early pyrite, reflecting a mostly sulfide-poor, anoxic depositional environment. Localized fault-bound sub-basins likely facilitated lateral facies variations, which is evident from synsedimentary breccias.The presence of evaporitic oxidized facies within the McDermott and Wollogorang formations, alongside evidence for synsedimentary brecciation in reduced shales are favourable criteria for SEDEX-style base metal deposition. Both formations overlie volcanic units, which could have been sources of base metals. Detailed X-ray petrography, new geochemical data and sulfur isotope data from historical drill cores indicate multiple horizons of stratiform and sediment breccia-hosted base metal sulfide within carbonaceous shale units, with high-grade Zn concentrations. A close association between sphalerite and ferromanganean dolomite alteration draws comparisons with younger SEDEX mineralization at HYC. Additionally, SEDEX alteration indices, used demonstrably as a vector to the younger orebodies, indicate the sedimentary rocks analyzed in this study are marginally below the ore window when compared to the overlying mineralized stratigraphy.Our data imply that localized active circulation of metalliferous brines occurred in the Tawallah Group basin. High-grade sulfide deposition in reduced facies alteration may represent distal expressions of larger SEDEX-style deposits. Furthermore, abundant pyrite and high molybdenum in the Wollogorang Formation suggest the global oceanic sulfate concentration was sufficient by ~ 1.73 Ga to engender intermittent but strong bottom-water euxinia during shale deposition, thus providing a robust chemical trap for base metal sulfide mineralization. 相似文献

The Woodlawn zinc‐lead‐copper deposit is one of a number of stratabound volcanogenic base‐metal deposits in the eastern part of the Lachlan Fold Belt. These deposits are commonly bandned and chemically zoned. They are copper‐rich at the base and lead‐zinc‐(barium)‐rich at the top. Alternatively, discrete copper‐rich, lead‐zinc‐rich and barium‐rich bodies may be developed. Oxide facies variants have been recognised at a number of localities. The deposits were formed in or adjacent to volcanic rifts during the Late Silurian. The Woodlawn deposit is located within the Captains Flat‐Goulburn Synclinorial Zone within a sequence of quartz‐feldspar porphyry, agglomerate, tuff, tuffaceous shale and black shale. 相似文献

The Timeball Hill and Silverton Formations of the 2.1–2.3 Ga Pretoria Group have regional lithological associations which are thought to have been favourable for the genesis of stratiform sulphide deposits. The observed association of carboniferous and pyritic black shales, tuffaceous material, stromatolitic carbonates and inferred turbidity current deposits is common in stratiform sulphide deposits of the sedimentary exhalative group. Massive sulphides in the Silverton Formation are compatible with a syngenetic brine discharge, probably related to deep fracture systems. The basal shales of the Timeball Hill Formation are significantly enriched in base-metals and Ba. Interlayered tuff beds at this stratigraphic level have PGE-contents of up to 1 g/t. The REE-geochemistry of Pretoria Group sedimentary rocks supports hydrothermal activity as an important factor in both stratigraphic units. 相似文献

In the Rajpura-Dariba belt zinc and lead mineralization was established on the basis of gossan and opinions were given that
the deposits are stratiform and syngenetic. During last two decades metamorphism and volcanic processes have been attributed
for the generation of exhalative and remobilized lead-zinc ore bodies. Subsequent exploration was based on the concept of
successive borehole planning around positive intersections. Areas having surface indications of base metal mineralization
and their extensions have been already explored. Recent deep drilling by Hindustan Zinc Limited (HZL) in this area has intersected
rich ore lodes, thereby confirming depth ward continuity of ore zones at some places. It indicates possibility of searching
hidden deposits by innovative techniques. Therefore, today, there is a challenge before geoscientists to discover new deposits
in this area by an exploration technique which should have low risk, consume less time and it should be cost effective. 相似文献

The Upper Cretaceous (Campanian) Kenilworth Member of the Blackhawk Formation (Mesaverde Group) is part of a series of strand plain sandstones that intertongue with and overstep the shelfal shales of the western interior basin of North America. Analysis of this section at a combination of small (sedimentological) and large (stratigraphical) scales reveals the dynamics of progradation of a shelf-slope sequence into a subsiding foreland basin. Four major lithofacies are present in the upper Mancos and Kenilworth beds of the Book Cliffs. A lag sandstone and channel-fill shale lithofacies constitutes the thin, basal, transgressive sequence, which rests on a marine erosion surface. It was deposited in an outer shelf environment. Shale, interbedded sandstone and shale, and amalgamated sandstone lithofacies were deposited over the transgressive lag sandstone lithofacies as a wave-dominated delta and its flanking strand plains prograded seaward. Analysis of grain size and primary structures in Kenilworth beds indicates that there are four basic strata types which combine to build the observed lithofacies. The fine- to very fine-grained graded strata of the interbedded facies are tempestites, deposited out of suspension by alongshelf storm flows (geostrophic flows). There is no need to call on cross-shelf turbidity currents (density underflows) to explain their presence. Very fine- to fine-grained hummocky strata are likewise suspension deposits created by waning storm flows, but were deposited under conditions of more intense wave agitation on the middle shoreface. Cross-strata sets in this region are bed-load deposits that accumulated on the upper shore-face, in the surf zone. Lag strata are multi-event, bed-load deposits that are the product of prolonged storm winnowing. They occur on transgressive surfaces. While the graded beds are tempestites in the strict sense, all four classes of strata are storm deposits. The distribution of strata types and their palaeocurrent orientations suggests a model of the Kenilworth transport system driven by downwelling coastal storm flows, and probably by a northeasterly alongshore pressure gradient. The stratification patterns shift systematically from upper shoreface to lower shoreface and inner shelf lithofacies partly because of a reduction in fluid power expenditure with increasing water depth, but also because of progressive sorting, which resulted in a decrease in grain size in the sediment load delivered to successive downstream environments. The Kenilworth Member and an isolated outlier, the Hatch Mesa lentil, constitute a delta-prodelta shelf depositional system. Their rhythmically bedded, lenticular, sandstone and shale successions are a prodelta shelf facies, and may be prodelta plume deposits. Major Upper Cretaceous sandstone tongues in the Book Cliffs are underlain by erosional surfaces like that beneath the Blackhawk Formation, which extend for many tens of kilometres into the Mancos shale. These surfaces are the boundaries of Upper Cretaceous depositional sequences. The sequences are large-scale genetic stratigraphic units. They result from the arranging of facies into depositional systems; the depositional systems are in turn stacked in repeating arrays, which constitute the depositional sequences. The anatomy of these foreland basin sequences differs 相似文献

Facies and origin of shales from the mid-Proterozoic Newland Formation, Belt Basin, Montana, USA 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2

Shales constitute more than 60% of the world's sediments, yet while facies models for sandstones and carbonates are at a high level of sophistication, the study of shales has clearly lagged behind. In the mid-Proterozoic Newland Formation six major shale facies types, deposited in nearshore to basinal environments, are distinguished on the basis of bedding characteristics, textural features, and the proportions of silt, clay and carbonate. Textural features of these shale types are related to sedimentary environments as deduced from associated lithologies. The shales are undisturbed by bioturbation, and their textural and sedimentary characteristics reflect subaqueous growth of microbial mats, erosion and deposition by storms, deposition of flocculated vs. dispersed clays, continuous slow background sedimentation, winnowing by waves or currents, and subaerial exposure. 相似文献

Copper-bearing sandstones and shales of Yunnan, China are found in Jurassic and Cretaceous red beds of the central and eastern Yunnan paraplatform and the western Yunnan parageosyncline. Several such deposits, which the author states are of some size and good quality, have been found and explored in the last few years. The copper-bearing sandstone and shale deposits range from typical syngenetic to hydrothermal with some transitional types. The primary deposits formed as syngenetic precipitation of copper minerals with shale, sandstone, and local conglomerate in lacustrine delta facies in a subsiding basin. Sedimentation was cyclic, and nine sedimentation cycles are distinguished. Copper-bearing sandstone and conglomerate were deposited mainly in the lower beds of a cycle and copper-bearing shale in the middle and upper sections, mainly in shallow water. The basin was broad in its early stages, but sinking in the later stages was more confined. More than 10, 000 m of red bed-type, sediments formed in the deepest depressions; part of the younger sediment was cannibalized from earlier basin deposits. Syngenetic deposits range from lenticular impregnations to widespread thin deposits. Pyrite chalcopyrite, and bornite, and their oxidation products, are in these beds, many of which are not of minable thickness or grade. Post-Cretaceous orogeny formed folds and rift zones and was accompanied by felsic and mafic intrusive rocks and mafic lavas. The copper in some areas was mobilized from syngenetic source beds and moved into structural traps, into beds of greater porosity, and into fracture zones. Most of the commercial deposits are mobilized ores. In the latter, chalcocite, bornite, and chalcopyrite are in bedded deposits and these, together with cobalt-bearing tennantite, are in the vein and stockwork deposits. Neither the location of individual deposits or grade of ore is given. – A.R. Kinkel, Jr. 相似文献

Sonrai basin, located along the southwestern margin of Bundelkhand Granite-Gneiss Complex (BGC) is known for its base metal and phosphorite mineralization. Uranium mineralization of appreciable grade and thickness was reported in Pisnari block in the northern part of this basin during sub-surface exploration activity in 1976-97. This was in the form of uranium-bitumin association within fractures in the carbonate-terrigenous sediments of Gorakalan shale, Rohini carbonate and Bandai sandstone of Sonrai Formation of Bijawar Group. Similar mineralization was also noted within the lower chloritic shale member of Solda Formation of the same Group. During subsequent drilling activity at a later phase (2005-09), uranium rich zones within Rohini carbonate and chloritic shale members were corroborated by the interception of mineralized bands in two boreholes drilled near Pisnari. Petrographic study of radioactive core samples reveal that uranium mineralization is closely associated with globular carbonaceous matter and sulphides along the fractures. Uranium is either adsorbed in carbonaceous matter or occurs as ultrafine inclusions of coffinite within carbonaceous matter. An additional phase of secondary uranium mineral (uranophane) is also noted in one of the boreholes. The uranium minerals, in association with sulphides, fill up moderately dipping fractures (approximately 15o towards North) which are oblique to the core axis of the inclined borehole and thus, the mineralization is characterized as hydrothermal fracture-controlled vein type mineralisation. C-HN- S analysis of carbonaceous matter occurring in close association with the uranium minerals reveal heterogeneity in composition with respect to carbon and sulfur. The present paper aims at discussing the geological, petrological and radiometric aspects of this mineralization, so as to enhance the understanding of the same. 相似文献
