青海沱沱河地区多才玛铅锌矿床是西南三江特提斯北段新生代铅锌矿集区的典型矿床之一,本文首次应用飞秒激光剥蚀多接受器等离子体质谱法对多才玛铅锌矿床中金属硫化物的原位S和Pb同位素进行了测定。结果显示:黄铁矿、方铅矿和闪锌矿的原位S同位素的δ~(34)S_(V-CDT)值介于-26.34‰～4.24‰之间,均值-12.15‰(n=20),其中闪锌矿的δ~(34)S_(V-CDT)值介于-10.30‰～-3.52‰,均值-7.39‰(n=9);方铅矿的δ~(34)S_(V-CDT)值为-26.34‰～-11.74‰,均值-20.36‰(n=9);黄铁矿的δ~(34)S_(V-CDT)值分别为2.50‰,4.24‰。矿床δ~(34)S数据范围较宽,总体表现为富集负值硫的特征,说明有机质可能参与成矿。岩浆热液期发育的黄铁矿δ~(34)S值具有深源特征,沉积热液期发育的方铅矿和闪锌矿的δ~(34)S值表明成矿过程存在还原作用,指示盆地地层还原流体的混入,综上可认为多才玛铅锌矿床硫具有混合来源的特征。方铅矿原位Pb同位素结果为~(206)Pb/~(204)Pb=18.866～18.929,~(207)Pb/~(204)Pb=15.674～15.689,~(208)Pb/~(204)Pb=39.052～39.174。方铅矿与地层的Pb同位素组成一致,位于上地壳平均Pb演化线之上,具上地壳和地幔混合俯冲带铅的特征,表明其成矿物质的来源多样。结合矿床学、矿物学及同位素数据,本文认为多才玛铅锌矿床S元素主要来源于赋矿围岩,Pb金属元素主要来源于藏北钾质火山岩,侵入地层岩浆与盆地流体的混合是金属硫化物沉淀的重要机制。  相似文献

贵州纳雍枝铅锌矿床地质、地球化学及矿床成因   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2       下载免费PDF全文
纳雍枝铅锌矿床位于扬子陆块西南缘,是黔西北地区五指山背斜内近年来取得勘查突破的大型铅锌矿床(1.30Mt),也是川滇黔矿集区贵州境内目前发现的最大规模的铅锌矿床。矿体受层位和构造控制明显,呈似层状、脉状及透镜状产于五指山背斜南东翼穿层和顺层构造带内,赋矿围岩为下寒武统清虚洞组和上震旦统灯影组白云岩。无论是缓倾斜的似层状矿体,还是陡倾斜的脉状矿体,矿石中普遍发育角砾状、脉状、网脉状和浸染状构造,金属矿物主要为闪锌矿,次为方铅矿和黄铁矿,脉石矿物以白云石、方解石为主,次为石英和重晶石。研究结果显示,该矿床硫化物δ~(34)SV-CDT值变化范围较宽,介于4.7‰~22.8‰之间,平均16.68‰,多数集中在18‰~22.5‰之间,远高于赋矿白云岩的δ~(34)S_(V-CDT)值(7.3‰)。硫化物总体呈现δ~(34)S_(闪锌矿)δ~(34)S_(方铅矿)δ~(34)S_(黄铁矿),暗示S同位素分馏未达到平衡,成矿流体的δ~(34)S_(∑S)值应高于硫化物的平均δ~(34)S值(16.68‰)。因此,成矿流体中的硫主要来源于赋矿海相碳酸盐岩中的蒸发膏岩,是蒸发硫酸盐矿物热化学还原(TSR)作用的产物。硫化物具有正常Pb的组成特征,~(206)Pb/~(204)Pb、~(207)Pb/~(204)Pb及~(208)Pb/~(204)Pb变化范围分别为17.8240~17.9701、15.6364~15.7651和37.8956~38.3230,与赋矿白云岩Pb同位素组成略有不同,但壳源特征明显,很可能来源于区域基底岩石。综上认为,纳雍枝铅锌矿床兼具层控和断控成矿特征,成矿物质主要由壳源岩石提供,硫化物沉淀受控于富金属流体与富还原硫流体的混合作用,其形成是区域构造与大规模成矿流体耦合作用的结果,属于MVT矿床。  相似文献

滇西镇康水头山Pb-Zn矿床是保山地块镇康Pb-Zn-Fe-Cu多金属矿集区内又一重要找矿成果。矿体呈似层状、透镜状产于上寒武统保山组大理岩化灰岩中,呈NEE向顺层产出,矿石矿物主要为闪锌矿和方铅矿,偶见黄铜矿和黄铁矿等;脉石矿物主要有白云石、绿泥石、方解石、石英和绢云母等。本文基于对矿床地质特征的详细研究,结合矿床H、O、S、Pb同位素组成,对其成矿流体和矿质来源进行了探讨,同时与毗邻的芦子园超大型Pb-Zn-Fe-Cu多金属矿床进行了对比。研究表明:该矿床石英的δD值介于-101.1‰~-93.3‰之间,均值为-96.85‰(n=4),δ~(18)O_(H_2O)值为3.37‰~3.77‰之间,均值为3.57‰(n=4),表明成矿流体早期以原生岩浆水为主,有大气降水的混入。矿床金属硫化物的δ~(34)S值均为正值,介于4.1‰~12.2‰,均值为8.23‰(n=10),与旁侧的芦子园矿床δ~(34)S值(8.9‰~12‰)较为接近。该矿床可划分出三个成矿阶段,阶段Ⅱ为以闪锌矿和方铅矿为主的主要成矿阶段(δ~(34)S主要集中在4.1‰~6.2‰之间),其δ~(34)S均值可近似代表成矿热液中的δ~(34)S∑S值,即δ~(34)S∑S≈δ~(34)S均值=6.56‰(n=7),闪锌矿和方铅矿δ~(34)S值有部分重叠,但总体上具有δ~(34)S闪锌矿δ~(34)S方铅矿以及不同颜色闪锌矿之间δ~(34)S深棕色闪锌矿δ~(34)S棕褐色闪锌矿δ~(34)S浅棕色闪锌矿的分布特征,暗示硫同位素在硫化物间的分馏达到平衡,表明S同位素组成较为稳定,显示水头山矿床具有深部壳源岩浆成因的特征。矿床金属硫化物的Pb同位素分析显示,Pb同位素组成非常集中(~(206)Pb/~(204)Pb=18.3408~18.4483,均值为18.3815,~(207)Pb/~(204)Pb=15.8337~15.9440,均值为15.8745,~(208)Pb/~(204)Pb=38.8224~39.4391,均值为38.9941,n=10),投点主要分布在上地壳演化线上方,表明其Pb主要来自于以岩浆作用为主的上地壳物质。本文认为矿区深部壳源岩浆热液是水头山矿床最重要的成矿流体与矿质来源,流体的混合作用是矿床金属元素沉淀和富集的重要机制,矿床具有低温、后生成矿特征,推测矿床的形成与燕山晚期的岩浆热液作用有关。  相似文献

蟒硐铅锌矿床位于黔西北铅锌成矿区垭都-蟒硐构造成矿亚带南东部,紧邻筲箕湾铅锌矿床,为一小型矿床。对该矿床主要原生矿体主成矿期块状硫化物矿石中的黄铁矿、闪锌矿和方铅矿进行了S、Pb同位素组成分析。结果表明该矿床S同位素组成变化不大,介于+10.7‰~+13.7‰(均值+12.2‰,n=12),与筲箕湾矿床δ34S CDT值相近(+8.4‰~+11.6‰,均值10.5‰,n=11),不同于δ34SCDT值在0±3‰的幔源硫,而与地层蒸发岩中所含的石膏(+15‰)和重晶石(+22‰~+28‰)以及泥盆纪至三叠纪海水(+20‰~+35‰)的S同位素组成相近。因此,推测成矿流体中的S是地层膏盐层中海相蒸发硫酸盐热化学还原的产物。蟒硐矿床Pb同位素组成变化较小,其206Pb/204Pb为18.582~18.668(均值18.635,n=6),207Pb/204Pb为15.706~15.811(均值15.739,n=6)和208Pb/204Pb为39.075~39.341(均值39.176,n=6)。在207Pb/204Pb-206Pb/204Pb图上位于上地壳铅平均演化线之上,主要与上泥盆统至下二叠统沉积岩投影区域重叠,部分与基底岩石投影区域重叠,与峨眉山玄武岩投影区域明显不同。因此,蟒硐矿床成矿流体中的金属主要来自赋矿沉积岩,但不能排除基底岩石的贡献。综合分析认为,蟒硐铅锌矿床成矿流体和物质均主要来自赋矿地层沉积岩,部分来自基底岩石,峨眉山玄武岩没有明显贡献,矿床成因属于与盆地卤水有关的后生热液矿床。  相似文献

成矿热液的总硫同位素组成(ΣS)可以更加准确地反映成矿流体中硫的来源。本文通过对湖南宝山矿床硫同位素以及总硫同位素的研究发现,金属硫化物样品的δ~(34)S值绝大多数为正值,变化区间为6.40‰~6.91‰,一般为-6.40‰~5.29‰,均值为2.22‰,其中黄铁矿δ~(34)S变化范围为-1‰~4.61‰,均值为2.92‰;方铅矿δ~(34)S变化范围为-0.80‰~1.70‰,均值为0.53‰;闪锌矿δ~(34)S变化范围为1.80‰~4.31‰,均值为2.69‰。具有集中的δ~(34)S值分布以及单一的峰值,表明硫的来源比较单一,具有岩浆硫特点,同位素组成具有δ~(34)S_(黄铁矿)δ~(34)S_(闪锌矿)δ~(34)S方铅矿的特征,证明成矿物质沉淀时基本达到了硫同位素分馏平衡。通过总硫同位素的分析,得出高温与低温两组数据,通过Pinckney图解计算获得中低温阶段的δ~(34)S_(ΣS)为1.28‰,高温阶段的δ~(34)S_(ΣS)为1.68‰。表明成矿流体的硫同位素组成变化很小,仅有0.4‰,且其总硫同位素组成为1.78‰,均显示矿床成矿流体具有地幔硫的特点,表明矿床中的硫可能来自地幔。  相似文献

云南金沙厂铅锌矿床硫同位素地球化学特征   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  
金沙厂铅锌矿床位于云南省东北部,川-滇-黔铅锌成矿域的西北部,矿体主要赋存于下寒武统和上震旦统的碳酸盐地层中。该矿床的主要矿石矿物是闪锌矿和方铅矿,主要脉石矿物是重晶石、萤石和石英。闪锌矿的δ34S值分布于3.9‰～11.2‰之间,平均为5.7‰;方铅矿的δ34S值在6.0‰～9.0‰之间,平均为7.1‰;两个重晶石的δ34S值分别为34.8‰和34.5‰。重晶石的δ34S值与下寒武地层硫酸盐的一致,排除其他可能来源,认为重晶石的硫来源于下寒武统地层。硫化物的硫不可能来自细菌硫酸盐还原作用,因为流体包裹体均一温度远高于细菌的存活温度。硫酸盐热化学还原作用产生的同位素分馏至多为20‰,由此可知下寒武统地层中硫酸盐发生热化学还原作用产生的还原硫δ34S值至少应为14‰,这个值远高于该矿床硫化物δ34S值,因此这种机制不是还原硫的唯一来源。矿区周围广泛分布玄武岩,并且与岩浆有关的硫化物δ34S值比较低,所以硫化物中的硫可能来自岩浆活动。在方铅矿和闪锌矿共生的样品中,闪锌矿的δ34S值大于方铅矿的δ34S值,说明成矿流体的硫同位素局部达到平衡。利用矿物对硫同位素组成计算的硫化物平衡温度与流体包裹体均一温度一致。  相似文献

冰洞山铅锌矿床是扬子地块北缘铅锌找矿的新突破。矿床主要形成于基底隆起部位的震旦系陡山沱组,矿体呈层状、似层状产于陡山沱组第四段白云岩角砾岩中,围岩蚀变很弱。矿石主要呈中粗粒晶质结构,充填于白云岩角砾岩间。金属矿物主要为闪锌矿、方铅矿等。与矿石共生的方解石流体包裹体分析表明流体均一温度为95~175℃,密度为0.897~1.117 g/cm3,估算成矿流体压力为25.4~32.5 MPa,计算相应的深度为1.24~1.43 km。矿石中硫化物的δ(34S)为13.03‰~33.72‰,其δ(34S)的顺序为:黄铁矿闪锌矿方铅矿;硫酸盐的δ(34S)为32.07‰~47.22‰,S来源于海相硫酸盐的还原。矿石硫化物的铅同位素组成为:N(206Pb)/N(204Pb)=17.660~18.093,N(207Pb)/N(204Pb)=15.457~15.694,N(208Pb)/N(204Pb)=37.444~38.288,成矿金属来源于震旦系-寒武系。矿石伴生碳酸盐矿物的δ(13CPDB)为-1.22‰~-0.31‰,成矿流体中的CO2为震旦系碳酸盐岩的溶解成因。冰洞山铅锌矿床成矿流体可能为起源于盖层沉积的中低温盆地卤水,伴随穹隆构造过程中,成矿流体向陡山沱组白云岩角砾岩运移并发生热液充填成矿,在成因上为MVT型铅锌矿床。  相似文献

新疆西天山赛里木地块中部的库尔尕生铅锌矿床受NW向断裂构造的控制;矿体呈脉状、透镜状;矿石呈网脉状、块状、浸染状、角砾状和斑杂状构造;矿石的矿物组成简单,金属矿物主要有方铅矿、闪锌矿、黄铁矿,脉石矿物主要为石英和方解石。脉石石英中发育纯液体包裹体和气液两相包裹体,均一温度为135.4~158.8℃。脉石石英和方解石的H、O、C同位素研究显示,成矿流体的δD值主要为-96.8‰~-84.3‰,δ18O值为-10.92‰~-6.11‰,反映出成矿流体来自岩浆水与大气水的混合水;方铅矿的δ34S值为4.1‰~8.4‰,与区域上晚石炭世的斑岩体来源硫范围(如达巴特流纹斑岩体硫化物的δ34S值为4.9‰~7.9‰,平均6.3‰)相似,揭示其硫可能为斑岩来源;方铅矿的铅同位素组成为206Pb/204Pb=18.207~18.291,207Pb/204Pb=15.595~15.654,208Pb/204Pb=38.085~38.291,在Δβ-Δγ成因分类图解上投影于"化学沉积型铅"与"海底热水作用铅"界线附近,可能反映出有相当一部分成矿金属物质来源于围岩。综合分析认为,库尔尕生铅锌矿床可能是与斑岩有关的远源低温热液型矿床。  相似文献

云南会泽和毛坪铅锌矿床位于扬子地块西南缘川-滇-黔铅锌多金属矿集区的中南部,小江断裂带、昭通-曲靖隐伏断裂带和垭都-紫云断裂带的构造复合部位,是我国著名的MVT型铅锌矿床。本文以会泽和毛坪铅锌矿为例,系统研究了矿床中矿石硫化物、矿区相关碳酸盐岩地层中微量硫酸盐(CAS)以及外围不同时代膏盐层中石膏的硫同位素组成,探讨了膏盐层在云南会泽和毛坪铅锌矿成矿中的作用。会泽矿床矿石硫化物的δ~(34)S_(V-CDT)值为11.0‰~20.0‰,多数集中在13.0‰~17.0‰之间,平均14.7‰,大致代表总硫的同位素组成。石炭系碳酸盐岩地层中微量硫酸盐的δ~(34)S_(V-CDT)值为10.4‰~18.6‰,平均13.1‰,较矿石硫化物的值稍低。矿区外围石炭系膏盐层中石膏的δ~(34)S_(V-CDT)值为12.9‰~17.1‰,平均13.6‰,与石炭系碳酸盐岩中微量硫酸盐的δ~(34) S_(V-CDT)值几乎完全一致。毛坪矿床矿石硫化物的δ~(34)S_(V-CDT)值与其赋存层位密切相关,赋存于摆佐组(C1b)的矿石硫化物的δ~(34)S_(V-CDT)值为7.1‰~17.5‰,平均12.8‰,较会泽矿石硫化物的值稍低,与石炭系碳酸盐岩地层中微量硫酸盐和石膏的值一致;赋存于宰格组(D3zg)的矿石硫化物的δ~(34)S_(V-CDT)值为18.3‰~22.7‰,平均21.1‰,与赋存于摆佐组(C1b)的矿石硫化物的值和会泽矿床矿石硫化物的值明显不同。矿区外围宰格组(D3zg)膏盐层中石膏的δ~(34)S_(V-CDT)值为21.9‰~25.9‰,平均23.6‰,与毛坪矿床宰格组(D3zg)矿石硫化物的值相似。通过对比会泽、毛坪矿床中不同赋矿层位矿石硫化物、石炭系不同层位碳酸盐岩中微量硫酸盐和矿区外围不同时代膏盐层中石膏的硫同位素组成及变化规律,提出会泽、毛坪铅锌矿床矿石硫化物中的硫主要来源于赋矿层位膏盐层中石膏硫酸盐的热还原。其中会泽铅锌矿的硫绝大部分来自石炭系膏盐层,只有10%的硫来自下伏的宰格组膏盐层;毛坪铅锌矿床中赋存于宰格组的矿体,矿石硫主要来自宰格组膏盐层,而赋存于摆佐组的矿体,矿石硫主要来自摆佐组膏盐层,即膏盐层是在原地被还原的。成矿作用分为两个阶段,第一阶段石膏与甲烷等有机质发生热化学反应,全部被还原形成H2S,储存在层间裂隙或溶洞之中,同时发生大规模白云岩化;第二阶段淋滤了深部基底岩石中Pb、Zn等金属成矿物质的成矿流体与储存在层间裂隙或溶洞之中的富含H2S的流体混合,形成黄铁矿、方铅矿和闪锌矿等富集沉淀,形成高品位矿石。  相似文献

河南省老里湾银铅锌矿床位于华北克拉通南缘华熊地块崤山断隆区,是近年来在崤山东部浅覆盖区新发现的一处大型矿床。老里湾矿床的矿体受断裂构造控制,主要呈浸染状、细脉浸染状和脉状赋存于早白垩世花岗斑岩体内的NW向和NNW向断裂破碎带中,亦有少量的矿体产于中元古界熊耳群火山岩内的断裂中。根据矿物共生组合、矿石组构及脉体穿插关系,将老里湾银铅锌矿床的成矿过程划分为3个成矿阶段,即:(1)绢云母+闪锌矿+方铅矿+黄铁矿阶段(早阶段);(2)重晶石+闪锌矿+方铅矿+银矿物±碳酸盐±石英阶段(中阶段);(3)闪锌矿+方铅矿+银矿物阶段(晚阶段)。文章对花岗斑岩的石英斑晶和热液阶段重晶石流体包裹体的研究表明,石英斑晶中主要发育含子矿物多相包裹体(S型)、富液两相水溶液包裹体(WL型)及少量的富气两相水溶液包裹体(WG型);重晶石中主要发育WL型包裹体。花岗斑岩的石英斑晶中包裹体完全均一温度介于338~586℃,平均494℃;盐度w(Na Cleq)介于11.0%~70.2%,密度为0.87~1.27 g/cm~3,属于高温、高盐度的H_2O-Na Cl体系。成矿中阶段的重晶石中包裹体均一温度为128~401℃,平均254℃;盐度w(Na Cleq)为1.6%~8.1%,密度0.59~0.95g/cm~3,属于中温、低盐度的H_2O-Na Cl体系。成矿中阶段重晶石中流体的δ~(18)O水值介于5.9‰~8.4‰,δDV-SMOW值介于-89.7‰~-65.5‰,表明成矿流体为岩浆水。重晶石的δ~(13)CPDB变化于-22.9‰~-12.5‰,具有花岗质岩浆演化形成的流体特征。矿石金属硫化物的δ~(34)S值介于1.9‰~5.9‰,平均3.5‰,具有深源硫的特征;成矿阶段重晶石的δ~(34)S值介于9.2‰~11.1‰,平均10.2‰。重晶石的δ34S值大于硫化物的δ~(34)S值,是同位素分馏造成的。矿床金属硫化物的Pb同位素组成较为集中,~(206)Pb/~(204)Pb介于17.262~17.430;~(207)Pb/~(204)Pb介于15.444~15.501;~(208)Pb/~(204)Pb介于37.774~38.050。S-Pb同位素组成表明老里湾矿床的成矿物质主要来自矿区内的早白垩世花岗质岩浆。崤山东部发育斑岩型钼铅锌银成矿系统,老里湾银铅锌矿床属于该成矿系统的浅部脉状矿化端员。初始中低盐度流体的降温是老里湾银铅锌矿床矿质沉淀的主要机制。  相似文献

Pelagic deposits at Abadeh represent a complete biostratigraphic record across the Permian/Triassic boundary (PTB). The presumed water depth during deposition of these sediments was between 60 and 90 m. Similar to other Permian/Triassic boundary sections, the succession at Abadeh is characterised by a negative carbon isotope shift of approximately 4. The values start to decrease in the lower C. changxingensis - C. deflecta s.l. Zone, reach –0.12 (V-PDB) in the uppermost Permian just below the PTB, remain low to the early I. isarcica Zone (–0.32) and increase subsequently in the upper I. isarcica Zone. For the time interval of the PTB negative carbon isotope excursion, between the C. iranica and the I. isarcica Zones, no correlation exists between the 13Ccarb and the 18Ocarb. The above observations argue against the conclusion of Heydari et al. (2001) that the carbon isotope event at the P/T transition is an alteration artefact and not a global signal. The decrease in 13Ccarb is accompanied by a ~5 (and potentially up to 10) increase in 34SSSS. Together, these features are thought to reflect a complex global event, notably the development of widespread anoxic oceans with anoxic bottom layers rising onto the shelves. For the carbon isotope drop, other factors, such as the collapse of ocean primary productivity may also have played a role. The 87Sr/86Sr ratios of Dzhulfian seawater show only a minor increase from 0.70705 to 0.70710, reaching 0.70720 in the Dorashamian. The increase becomes steeper in the Early Triassic reaching 0.70754 in the N. dieneri Zone. The rise of the strontium isotope values is thought to be related to enhanced continental weathering under humid climatic conditions in the uppermost Permian (C. meishanensis - H. praeparvus Zone) and the lack of a dense land vegetation in the Early Triassic, prior to the Spathian (Upper Olenekian).  相似文献

Diamond-bearing carbonate rocks from Kumdy-Kol, Kokchetav massif, Kazakhstan, were strongly altered by fluids flowing through fractures and infiltrating along grain boundaries during exhumation. Alteration includes retrogradation of high-grade silicate assemblages by hydrous minerals, replacement of diamond by graphite and of dolomite by calcite. Diamond-bearing carbonate rocks are among the most intensely altered isotopically with δ18OVSMOW values as low as +9‰, δ13CVPDB=−9‰, and 87Sr/86Sr as high as 0.8050. Evidence of isotopic equilibration between coexisting dolomite and high-Mg calcite during ultrahigh-pressure metamorphism (UHPM) is preserved only rarely in samples isolated from infiltrating fluids by distance from fractures. Isotopic heterogeneity and isotopic disequilibrium are widespread on a hand-specimen scale. Because of this lack of homogeneity, bulk analyses cannot provide definitive measurements of 13C/12C fractionation between coexisting diamond and carbonate. Our study adequately documents alteration on a scale commensurate with observed vein structures. But, testing the hypothesis of metamorphic origin of microdiamonds has not fully succeeded because our analytical spatial resolution, limited to 0.5 mm, is not small enough to measure individual dolomite inclusions or individual diamond crystals.  相似文献

In an effort to constrain the mechanism of dolomitization in Neogene dolomites in the Bahamas and improve understanding of the use of chemostratigraphic tracers in shallow‐water carbonate sediments the δ34S, Δ47, δ13C, δ18O, δ44/40Ca and δ26Mg values and Sr concentrations have been measured in dolomitized intervals from the Clino core, drilled on the margin of Great Bahama Bank and two other cores (Unda and San Salvador) in the Bahamas. The Unda and San Salvador cores have massively dolomitized intervals that have carbonate associated sulphate δ34S values similar to those found in contemporaneous seawater and δ44/40Ca, δ26Mg values, Sr contents and Δ47 temperatures (25 to 30°C) indicating relatively shallow dolomitization in a fluid‐buffered system. In contrast, dolomitized intervals in the Clino core have elevated values of carbonate associated sulphate δ34S values indicating dolomitization in a more sediment‐buffered diagenetic system where bacterial sulphate reduction enriches the residual in 34S, consistent with high sediment Sr concentrations and low δ44/40Ca and high δ26Mg values. Only dolomites associated with hardgrounds in the Clino core have carbonate associated δ34S values similar to seawater, indicating continuous flushing of the upper layers of the sediment by seawater during sedimentary hiatuses. This interpretation is supported by changes to more positive δ44/40Ca values at hardground surfaces. All dolomites, whether they formed in an open fluid‐buffered or closed sediment‐buffered diagenetic system have similar δ26Mg values suggesting that the HMC transformed to dolomite. The clumped isotope derived temperatures in the dolomitized intervals in Clino yield temperatures that are higher than normal, possibly indicating a kinetic isotope effect on dolomite Δ47 values associated with carbonate formation through bacterial sulphate reduction. The findings of this study highlight the utility of applying multiple geochemical proxies to disentangle the diagenetic history of shallow‐water carbonate sediments and caution against simple interpretations of stratigraphic variability in these geochemical proxies as indicating changes in the global geochemical cycling of these elements in seawater.  相似文献

Iron is one of the most abundant transition metal in higher plants and variations in its isotopic compositions can be used to trace its utilization. In order to better understand the effect of plant-induced isotopic fractionation on the global Fe cycling, we have estimated by quantum chemical calculations the magnitude of the isotopic fractionation between different Fe species relevant to the transport and storage of Fe in higher plants: Fe(II)-citrate, Fe(III)-citrate, Fe(II)-nicotianamine, and Fe(III)-phytosiderophore. The ab initio calculations show firstly, that Fe(II)-nicotianamine is ～3‰ (56Fe/54Fe) isotopically lighter than Fe(III)-phytosiderophore; secondly, even in the absence of redox changes of Fe, change in the speciation alone can create up to ～1.5‰ isotopic fractionation. For example, Fe(III)-phytosiderophore is up to 1.5‰ heavier than Fe(III)-citrate2 and Fe(II)-nicotianamine is up to 1‰ heavier than Fe(II)-citrate. In addition, in order to better understand the Fe isotopic fractionation between different plant components, we have analyzed the iron isotopic composition of different organs (roots, seeds, germinated seeds, leaves and stems) from six species of higher plants: the dicot lentil (Lens culinaris), and the graminaceous monocots Virginia wild rye (Elymus virginicus), Johnsongrass (Sorghum halepense), Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis), river oat (Uniola latifolia), and Indian goosegrass (Eleusine indica). The calculations may explain that the roots of strategy-II plants (Fe(III)-phytosiderophore) are isotopically heavier (by about 1‰ for the δ56Fe) than the upper parts of the plants (Fe transported as Fe(III)-citrate in the xylem or Fe(II)-nicotianamine in the phloem). In addition, we suggest that the isotopic variations observed between younger and older leaves could be explained by mixing of Fe received from the xylem and the phloem.  相似文献

The Emarat deposit, with a total proved reserve of 10 Mt ore grading 6% Zn and 2.26% Pb, is one of the largest Zn–Pb deposits in the Malayer–Esfahan belt. The mineralization is stratabound and restricted to Early Cretaceous limestones and dolomites. The ore consists mainly of sphalerite and galena with small amounts of pyrite, chalcopyrite, calcite, quartz, and dolomite. Textural evidence shows that the ore has replaced the host rocks and thus is epigenetic.Sulfur isotopes indicate that the sulfur in sphalerite and galena has been derived from Cretaceous seawater through thermochemical sulfate reduction. Sulfur isotope compositions of four apparently coprecipitated sphalerite–galena pairs suggest their precipitation was under equilibrium conditions. The sulfur isotopic fractionation observed for the sphalerite–galena pairs corresponds to formation temperatures between 77 °C and 168 °C, which agree with homogenization temperatures of fluid inclusions.Lead-isotope studies indicate that the lead in galena has been derived from heterogeneous sources including orogenic and crustal reservoirs with high 238U/204Pb and 232Th/204Pb ratios. Ages derived from the Pb-isotope model give meaningless ages, ranging from Early Carboniferous to future. It is probable that the Pb-isotope model ages that point to an earlier origin than the Early Cretaceous host rocks are derived from older reservoirs in the underlying Carboniferous or Jurassic units, either from the host rocks or from earlier-formed ore deposits within these units.This research and other available data show that the Emarat Zn–Pb deposit has many important features of Mississippi Valley-type (MVT) lead–zinc deposits and thus we argue that it is an MVT-type ore deposit.  相似文献

The classic hotspot hypothesis [Morgan, W. J., 1971. Convection plumes in the lower mantle. Nature 230, 42–43], which posits that linear volcanic chains are traces of fixed plumes in the mantle on moving lithospheric plates, was instrumental in elevating the plate tectonics paradigm in the 1960s into a modern Earth Science theory. The hypothesis itself, however, remains conjectural because many of its predictions, particularly the simple age-progressive type of volcanism, are not observed in many linear volcanic chains. As an alternative explanation, it is proposed that linear volcanic chains are formed through magmatism along pre-existing lines of weakness such as transform zones and old sutures, or along cracks created by stresses on lithospheric plates. The Marquesas linear volcanic chain in south-central Pacific has geologic features that are consistent with some of the predictions of both hypotheses. To better constrain the origin of this volcanic chain, we collected major and trace element and Sr, Nd, Pb, and He isotopic data from several Marquesan lavas. Our new analyses combined with literature data classify the samples into the well established tholeiitic to mildly alkalic, low 87Sr/86Sr, high 143Nd/144Nd, shield-building volcanic phase lava group and highly alkalic, high 87Sr/86Sr, low 143Nd/144Nd, post-shield phase group. Lead isotopes show generally higher 206Pb/204Pb ratios and suggest evidence of crustal assimilation for the shield-building phase lavas, consistent with the argument that the shield-building phase volcanism has a lithospheric source component. On the other hand, post-shield phase lavas that are predicted to represent the true composition of the mantle source by the hotspot hypothesis have higher 3He/4He ratios and these are coupled to other geochemical tracers. Thus our results show that the Marquesas volcanic chain, similar to many other linear volcanic chains, has a high 3He/4He component in its mantle source. The presence of such a distinct source component cannot be easily explained by dispersed upper mantle heterogeneities, but provides a powerful constraint for the hotspot origin of many linear volcanic chains.  相似文献

Analyses of environmental isotopes (18O, 2H, and 87Sr/86Sr) are applied to groundwater studies with emphasis on saline groundwater in aquifers in the Keta Basin, Ghana. The 87Sr/86Sr ratios of groundwater and surface water of the Keta Basin primarily reflect the geology and the mineralogical composition of the formations in the catchments and recharge areas. The isotopic compositions of 18O and 2H of deep groundwater have small variations and plot close to the global meteoric water line. Shallow groundwater and surface water have considerably larger variations in isotopic compositions, which reflect evaporation and preservation of seasonal fluctuations. A significant excess of chloride in shallow groundwater in comparison to the calculated evaporation loss is the result of a combination of evaporation and marine sources. Groundwaters from deep wells and dug wells in near-coastal aquifers are characterized by relatively high chloride contents, and the significance of marine influence is evidenced by well-defined mixing lines for strontium isotopes, and hydrogen and oxygen stable isotopes, with isotopic compositions of seawater as one end member. The results derived from environmental isotopes in this study demonstrate that a multi-isotope approach is a useful tool to identify the origin and sources of saline groundwater.

Geochemical observations, including major ion and trace element analysis, and isotopic tracing have been carried out in the Subarnarekha River system (northeastern India) during a surface-water- and groundwater-monitoring program aimed at evaluating impacts of mining. The aquifer is of fracture type. Groundwater flow conditions and pollutant transfer were observed through a network of 69 wells. δ18O and δ2H results suggest that transfer from rainfall towards groundwater storage through soils and the unsaturated zone is fast, without any major transformation like evaporation. The scatter of 87Sr/86Sr signatures in surface water and groundwater are explained by three end-members. One is compatible with rainwater inputs. The most mineralised end-member represents anthropogenic inputs (agricultural practices and ore processing). The third end-member, characterised by a high 87Sr/86Sr signature, is believed to be controlled by natural geochemical processes, although affected by human activities (e.g. drainage of mine waste). Potential flow paths, investigated north of the area, reveal that all groundwater types seem to evolve more in pockets than along a flow path. The limited extent of transfer and the predominance of natural phenomena help to explain the moderate level of groundwater contamination and the characteristics of surface water contamination by mining and the metallurgy industry.  相似文献

Carbonates formed from hyperalkaline aqueous solutions at the Earth?s surface are known to bear the most extreme disequilibrium isotope signatures reported so far in nature. We present here the results for stable carbon (C), oxygen (O), and barium (Ba) isotope fractionation during the precipitation of witherite (BaCO3) induced by the chemical absorption of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) into an aqueous hyper-alkaline solution (at 4° and 21?°C; 1?atm total pressure). Independent from temperature, the barium carbonate formation was associated with a substantial enrichment of the lighter C and O isotopes in the solid compared to the atmosphere (C, O), close to previous results found in experiments and nature. A new approach is introduced to explain oxygen isotope fractionation upon hydroxylation of CO2. With Ba isotope enrichment factors between ?0.45 and ?0.53‰ (138/134ε) or ?0.34 and ?0.40‰ (137/134ε), respectively, the synthesized BaCO3 displays the highest kinetic enrichment of the light Ba isotope in the carbonate solid reported so far.  相似文献

Mineralogical, textural and geochemical investigations were made to determine the post-depositional evolution of Devonian and Early Carboniferous carbonates from Valle de Tena. The carbonate association is made up of low-Mg calcite, which occurs as micrite, spar cements, neomorphic patches and spar filling veinlets. Non-stoichiometric dolomite and ankerite occur as cements (dolomite also as replacements) in the Middle Devonian, post-dating calcite types. All these phases pre-date tectonic stylolites, indicating compaction after stabilization of the carbonate minerals. Strontium concentrations indicate that Early Devonian and Early Carboniferous micrites initially precipitated as aragonite; Middle and Late Devonian micrites precipitated as high-Mg calcites. Both precursors were diagenetically stabilized to low-Mg calcites through interaction with meteoric waters in phreatic environments. Trace elements in dolomite and ankerite indicate precipitation from Sr-enriched meteoric water. All studied carbonates, except Middle Devonian limestones, precipitated in reducing environments, which favoured incorporation of Fe and Mn. Late calcite generations precipitated from more saline waters than micrites. Light 18O values in micrites suggest alteration mainly in meteoric-phreatic environments. The dolomites and ankerites precipitated from more 18O-depleted fluids than the calcites, suggesting a greater contribution from meteoric waters. Variations in 13C of micrites represent primary secular trends, according to published 13C variations. The 13C oscillations within each succession probably relate to sea-level oscillations. Strontium isotopes also point to a meteoric origin of diagenetic fluids. Model calculations suggest that O and Sr isotopes equilibrated between calcites and fluid at relatively low water/rock ratios, whereas C isotopic signatures are inherited from limestones.  相似文献
