L'aspidolite fluorée : rôle des évaporites dans la genèse du rubis des marbres de Nangimali (Azad-Kashmir,Pakistan)

Ruby-bearing marbles from Nangimali, in the Azad-Kashmir, Pakistan, contain, besides phengite, different mica intergrowths: paragonite, phlogopite and aspidolite (sodium phlogopite). Both phlogopites, intimately linked and coexisting with paragonite, are fluorine rich, contrary to phengite and paragonite. F-enriched aspidolite is described for the first time. Phengite is either associated with phlogopite or could be isolated. The presence of aspidolite in the ruby-bearing marbles, together with other arguments such as salt solid inclusions and presence of anhydrite, suggest the implication of evaporites in the genesis of gem corundums.

Emerald dating through Ar/Ar step-heating and laser spot analysis of syngenetic phlogopite     

A. Cheilletz  G. F  raud  G. Giuliani  G. Ruffet 《Earth and Planetary Science Letters》1993,120(3-4):473-485

Emerald, occurring in K-metasomatic rocks developed at the contact of the Carnaíba leucogranite with serpentinite (Bahia State, Brazil), has been dated using an original ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar procedure. It combines step heating and spot fusion experiments on two types of phlogopite crystals: (1) bulk samples and individual grains extracted from the enclosing K-metasomatic host rocks; and (2) syngenetic solid inclusions precipitated along growing zones of the emerald host crystals. The second procedure uses in situ laser probe experiments on rock sections. In spite of the huge amounts of excess ⁴⁰Ar detected in adjacent emerald, we could measure reliable ages of 1951 ± 8 Ma and 1934 ± 8 Ma for the Trecho Velho and Braulia occurrences, respectively. Spot fusion data had higher discrepancy than the step heating data, but minute crystals of phlogopite included in emeralds bearing excess argon do not reveal excess argon. A muscovite belonging to the same granite hydrothermal complex gave a plateau age of 1976 ± 8 Ma, which may correspond to a higher closure temperature of the KAr system during the cooling of the whole pluton and associated hydrothermal halo.

These accurate measurements lead to the following conclusions: (1) direct emerald dating is possible; (2) in spite of a polyphase history during the Transamazonian orogenesis (2 Ga), combined step heating and spot fusion experiments give a better precision for granite-related emerald mineralization than the scattered ages obtained by Rb-Sr and K-Ar methods; (3) the late-Transamazonian tectonothermal retrograde event which probably caused the dispersion of previous Rb-Sr and K-Ar data is not revealed by our procedure; (4) the emerald mineralization and K-metamorphism appear to be linked with the thermal history of the leucogranite; (5) in addition to its use in polyphase crustal domains, accurate ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar dating is of major interest in the field of metallogenic models, even, for instance, for mineralizations characterized by disturbed isotopic systems, which record effects as excess argon.  相似文献   

The pliocene volcanism of the voras Mts (Central Macedonia,Greece)     

N. Kolios  F. Innocenti  P. Manetti  A. Peccerillo  O. Giuliani 《Bulletin of Volcanology》1980,43(3):553-568

Major element chemistry, K/Ar ages and trace element data are reported for volcanic rocks from the Voras volcanic complex of Central Macedonia (Greece). Petrological data show that the Voras volcanic rocks consist essentially of intermediate members of the high-K calc-alkaline and shoshonitic series, the most abundant rock types being high-K andesites and dacites, latites and trachytes. K/Ar ages determined on selected samples show values ranging between 5.0 and 1.8 m.y., indicating that the Voras volcanism was active from Pliocene up to the Lower Pleistocene. The high Th, Hf, Ba and LREE shown by some representative samples together with their strongly fractionated light and heavy REE patterns and the absence of significant negative Eu anomalies indicate a magma genesis by low degrees of partial melting of a source enriched in large ion lithophile elements, leaving a garnet-bearing and plagioclase-free residue. This source is believed to be represented by a mantle garnet peridotite enriched in incompatible elements. The geotectonic significance of the K-rich volcanism of the Voras area is discussed within the general framewoek of the late Tertiary tectonic evolution of the Aegean area and its emplacement is related to the distension tectonic movements which have affected the boundary area between the Macedonian microplate and the European craton since the Neogene.  相似文献

Marble-hosted ruby deposits from Central and Southeast Asia: Towards a new genetic model     

Virginie Garnier  Gaston Giuliani  Daniel Ohnenstetter  Anthony E. Fallick  Jean Dubessy  David Banks  Hong Quang Vinh  Thrse Lhomme  Henri Maluski  Arnaud Pêcher  Kausar Allah Bakhsh  Pham Van Long  Phan Trong Trinh  Dietmar Schwarz 《Ore Geology Reviews》2008,34(1-2):169

Marble-hosted ruby deposits represent the most important source of colored gemstones from Central and South East Asia. These deposits are located in the Himalayan mountain belt which developed during Tertiary collision of the Indian plate northward into the Eurasian plate. They are spatially related to granitoid intrusions and are contained in platform carbonates series that underwent high-grade metamorphism. All occurrences are located close to major tectonic features formed during Himalayan orogenesis, directly in suture zones in the Himalayas, or in shear zones that guided extrusion of the Indochina block after the collision in South East Asia. Ar–Ar dating of micas syngenetic with ruby and U–Pb dating of zircon included in ruby gives evidence that these deposits formed during Himalayan orogenesis, and the ages document the extensional tectonics that were active, from Afghanistan to Vietnam, between the Oligocene and the Pliocene.The petrography shows that ruby-bearing marbles formed in the amphibolite facies (T = 610 to 790 °C and P ~ 6 kbar). A fluid inclusion study defines the conditions of gem ruby formation during the retrograde metamorphic path (620 < T < 670 °C and 2.6 < P < 3.3 kbar) for the deposits of Jegdalek, Hunza and northern Vietnam.Whole rock analyses of non-ruby-bearing marbles indicate that they contain enough aluminum and chromiferous elements to produce all the ruby crystals that they contain. In addition, (C, O)-isotopic analyses of carbonates from the marbles lead to the conclusion that the marbles acted as a metamorphic closed fluid system that were not infiltrated by externally-derived fluids. The carbon isotopic composition of graphite in marbles reveals that it is of organic origin and that it exchanged C-isotopes with the carbonates during metamorphism. Moreover, the O-isotopic composition of ruby was buffered by metamorphic CO₂ released during devolatilisation of marble and the H-isotopic composition of mica is consistent with a metamorphic origin for water in equilibrium with the micas. The (C, O, H)-isotopic compositions of minerals associated with marble-hosted ruby are all in agreement with the hypothesis, drawn from the unusual chemistry of CO₂–H₂S–COS–S₈–AlO(OH)-bearing fluids contained in fluid inclusions, that gem ruby formed at P ~ 3 kbar and 620 < T < 670 °C, during thermal reduction of evaporite by organic matter, at high temperature-medium pressure metamorphism of platform carbonates during the Tertiary India–Asia collision. The carbonates were enriched in Al- and chromiferous-bearing detrital minerals, such as clay minerals that were deposited on the platform with the carbonates, and in organic matter. Ruby formed during the retrograde metamorphic path, mainly by destabilization of muscovite or spinel. The metamorphic fluid system was rich in CO₂ released from devolatilisation of carbonates, and in fluorine, chlorine and boron released by molten salts (NaCl, KCl, CaSO₄). Evaporites are key to explaining the formation of these deposits. Molten salts mobilized in situ Al and metal transition elements contained in marbles, leading to crystallization of ruby.  相似文献

Physiological and genetical adaptation to temperature in fish populations     

A. Colosimo  A. Giuliani  F. Maranghi  O. Brix  S. Thorkildsen  T. Fischer  R. Knust  H. O. Poertner 《Continental Shelf Research》2003,23(17-19):1919

The physiological and genetical adaptation of fishes to environmental temperatures has been studied by analyzing data concerning: (i) the oxygen binding properties of haemoglobin recorded during growth experiments on Atlantic cod, and (ii) the primary structure of haemoglobin (Hb) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) of several fish species living in polar and temperate areas. The results on the oxygen binding properties of cod's haemoglobin indicate that for this species a temperature of around 12°C is the most favourable one, irrespective of the haemoglobin genotype, and are in line with recent evidence challenging the existence of significant evolutionary differences between cod stocks in North Atlantic. The primary structures of both Hb and LDH from species living under temperate environments show a higher variability as compared to that from polar species, although the difference in the recurrent patterns of hydrophobicity between the two areas is much larger for Hb. These results highlight the dominant role of physiological and genetical factors in shaping the adaptation to temperature at the individual and at the species level, respectively.  相似文献   

SCOPED‐W: SCalable Online Platform for extracting Environmental Data and Water‐related model outputs          下载免费PDF全文

Yaniss Guigoz  Elham Rouholahnejad  Nicolas Ray  Grégory Giuliani 《Transactions in GIS》2017,21(4):748-763

This article presents SCOPED, an innovative approach for extracting environmental data using OGC services. In the field of water resource management, SCOPED‐W (‘W’ for ‘Water’) is a method that was developed in the framework of EU/FP7 IASON and EOPOWER projects. This platform supports the collection of data required to build a Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model and the uptake, spatialization and dissemination of raw data generated from the outputs of different SWAT models for the Black Sea region. Scientists are documenting the data served by the platform in ISO standardized metadata to support informed use. SCOPED‐W primarily targets the community of SWAT users in the Black Sea region but it can easily be replicated in other geographical areas. Additionally, the SCOPED approach is based on data interoperability that makes it fully compatible with other domains of application as demonstrated here with three original use cases. The article also highlights the benefits of the approach for the GEO community and discusses future improvements for supporting integration with other platforms such as UNEP Live.  相似文献   

Temporal variations of dissolved and particulate Th at a coastal station of the northern Adriatic Sea     

O. Radakovitch  M. Frignani  S. Giuliani  R. Montanari 《Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science》2003,58(4):813-824

Water–particle interactions, particle behaviour and short-time scale variability were assessed at a coastal station adjacent to the Emilia Romagna Region (Adriatic Sea) using dissolved and particulate ²³⁴Th analyses. The water column was sampled six times between March and September 1997. Measurements showed that ²³⁴Th is actively scavenged by particles but the dissolved fraction is always prevalent. Changes in hydrological conditions affect to some degree thorium activities and residence times. Dissolved thorium inventories slowly increased from May to July, then decreased in August, and increased again in September. In July, the formation of a sharp pycnocline associated with low productivity led to high dissolved and very low particulate ²³⁴Th activities due to inefficient scavenging. The presence of mucilaginous aggregates, observed in both August and September, may have played a role in scavenging of thorium. In September at 16 m depth, the highest ²³⁴Th particulate activity of the study period was measured, probably due to the presence of mucilage. However, the thorium deficit was scarce, due to the small sinking velocity of these aggregates. Both steady-state and non-steady state models were used to calculate residence times for the whole water column and its topmost part (10 m) obtaining strictly comparable results. Residence times in the whole water column are small, ranging from 15 to 45 and from 0.5 to 24 d for dissolved and particulate thorium, respectively.  相似文献   

Innovative monitoring tools for the complex spatial dynamics of river chemistry: case study for the Alpine region     

Caterina Gozzi  Roberta Sauro Graziano  Francesco Frondini  Antonella Buccianti 《Environmental Earth Sciences》2018,77(16):579

Chemical reactions in aqueous geochemical systems are driven by nonequilibrium conditions, and their dynamics can be deduced through the distributional analysis (identification of probability laws) of complex compositional indices. In this perspective, compositional data analysis offers the possibility to investigate the behavior of the composition as a whole instead of isolated chemical species, with the awareness that multispecies systems are characterized by the simultaneous interactions among all their parts. We addressed this problem using D???1 isometric log-ratio coordinates describing the D compositional dataset of the river chemistry of the Alpine region (D number of variables), thus working in the \({{\mathbb{R}}^{D - 1}}\) statistical sample space. The D???1 coordinates were chosen using the decreasing variance criterion so that each one could provide information about different space–time properties for the investigated geochemical system. Coordinates dominated by heterogeneity appear to be able to capture regime shifts only on a long-time period and monitor processes on a very wide scale. On the other hand, coordinates characterized by lower variability present multimodality, thus capturing the presence of alternative states in the analyzed spatial domain also for the current time. Further developments are needed to determine the ranges of conditions for which variability and other statistics can be useful indicators of regime shifts on different time–space scales in geochemical systems.  相似文献
