The Strathcona iron-nickel-copper sulfide ore deposit lies atthe base of the Sudbury Nickel Irruptive along the north rimof the Sudbury basin. In the vicinity of the deposit the mainbody of the Nickel Irruptive consists of an upper unit of 3700ft (1200 m) of granophyre (the ‘micropegmatite’)and a lower unit of 1500 ft (500 m) of augite norite (the ‘felsicnorite’) separated by 300 ft (100 m) of transitional rock(the ‘transition zone’). Two augite norite intrusions(the ‘mafic norite’ and the ‘xenolithic norite’)that are younger than the felsic norite occur along its lowercontact. The xenolithic norite is relatively rich in xenolithsand grades downwards into a unit known as the ‘hanging-wallbreccia’. The breccia resembles the xenolithic noritebut contains a higher proportion of xenoliths. A quartz-plagioclase-augite gneiss (the ‘footwall gneiss’)underlies all units of the Nickel Irruptive. A cataclastic breccia(the ‘footwall breccia’) which formed as a resultof comminution of both gneiss and overlying Irruptive rocksis present in most areas between the gneiss and the Nickel Irruptive.The ore body occurs partly as a dissemination of sulfides inthe matrix of the hanging-wall breccia (‘hanging-wallore’), partly as a fine dissemination and massive stringersof sulfide in the footwall breccia matrix (‘main-zoneore’), and partly as massive stringers of sulfide in thefootwall gneiss (‘deep-zone ore’). Xenoliths in the xenolithic norite and hanging-wall brecciarange from dunite to olivine gabbro. Olivine in the xenoliths(composition estimated by an X-ray method) varies from Fo73to Fo85, and hypersthene and augite (composition estimated byelectron microprobe analysis) vary from Fs25 to Fsi3, and Fsi3to Fs5, respectively. The iron content of the mafic mineralsshows a positive correlation with the proportion of felsic mineralsin the xenoliths, suggesting that the xenoliths have been derivedfrom a cryptically layered body of mafic and ultramafic rock.The wide distribution of xenoliths around the margin of theNickel Irruptive coupled with the absence of any obvious externalsource is strong evidence that the xenoliths are cognate, supportingWilson's (1956) proposal that the Irruptive is a funnel-shapedintrusion with a zone of ultramafic rocks towards its base. Hypersthene ranges from Fs33 to Fs28 in the felsic norite, fromFs28 to Fs22 in the mafic norite, and from Fs28 to Fs20 in thexenolithic norite. Augite ranges from Fsl6 to Fs14 in the felsicnorite and from Fs14 to Fsn in both the mafic and xenolithicnorites. The distribution coefficient for iron and magnesiumbetween coexisting augite and hypersthene ranges from 1-0 insome of the xenoliths to 1-5 in some samples of felsic norite,indicating that the two pyroxenes equilibrated at, or near,magmatic temperature. The composition of plagioclase in thefelsic norite, mafic norite, and xenolithic norite is aroundAn65-70 but decreases to An44 in those Irruptive rocks closestto the footwall breccia. The composition of plagioclase withinthe breccia varies between An32 and An43. Sodium metasomatismappears to have affected the breccia and to have spread outto affect adjacent rocks. The concentration of nickel and copper in the sulfides variessystematically across the ore deposit. The nickel content ofiron-nickel sulfides varies between 2-5 and 3 per cent in thehanging-wall ore but increases regularly from 3 per cent to5 or 5-5 per cent from hanging wall to footwall across the main-zoneore. Copper concentration shows a similar but more erratic variation.The variation is attributed to thermal diffusion of nickel andcopper within the main-zone ore along a gradient induced bythe overlying, hot, Nickel Irruptive. The principal opaque minerals in the ore body are, in the orderof their abundance, pyrrho-tite of at least two types, magnetite,pentlandite, chalcopyrite, and pyrite. All of the sulfides inthe hanging-wall ore are the result of exsolution from a high-temperature,pyrrhotite solid solution. Pyrite started to exsolve below 700C, chalcopyrite below 450 C, and pentlandite below 300 C.Monoclinic pyrrhotite formed from the host hexagonal pyrrhotiteprobably between 300 and 250 C. The temperature of formationof the sulfides in the main-zone ore has been obscured by reworkingof the ore after its first emplacement. The principal ore sulfides, pyrrhotite and pentlandite, arecommon throughout the mafic norite, xenolithic norite, and hanging-wallbreccia, occurring in amounts around 5 per cent in most samples.Pyrrhotite and pentlandite are extremely rare in the overlyingfelsic norite where pyrite is the most common sulfide. It occursin amounts between 01 and 0-5 per cent, commonly together withsecondary amphibole after pyroxene. The sulfides in the maficand xenolithic norites and in the hanging-wall breccia occupyspaces interstitial to the silicates, and little or no replacementof silicates by sulfides has occurred. In the main-zone ore,evidence of small-scale replacement of silicates by sulfidesis common. The high percentage of pyrrhotite and pentlandite in the maficand xenolithic norites in contrast to the felsic norite, texturalrelations between sulfides and silicates, and the high temperaturesindicated by the pyroxene distribution coefficients lead tothe conclusion that the hanging-wall sulfides (including thehanging-wall ore) at Strathcona were introduced with these youngernoritic intrusions. Data on the solubility of sulfides in silicatemagmas rule out the possibility that the bulk of the sulfideswere in solution in the noritic magmas; the data support thehypothesis that during intrusion the sulfides were held in suspensionin the in the magmas as droplets of immiscible sulfide-oxideliquid. Calculations on the rate of settling to be expectedfor such sulfide droplets are consistent with this hypothesis.The manner of emplacement of the main-zone ore is less certain;our explanation is that this ore consists of sulfides that originallysettled out of, or collected along, the base of the hanging-wallbreccia zone and were subsequently incorporated in the brecciationthat gave rise to the footwall breccia. The origin of the sulfides at Strathcona is clearly connectedclosely with the origin of the younger noritic intrusions. Asimilar connexion exists between sulfides and young marginalintrusions at many other Sudbury deposits. Jt is possible thatboth sulfides and intrusions are portions of the Nickel Irruptivemagma that lagged behind the main body of magma and were intrudedat a later stage. Alternatively, the young intrusions may haveassimilated sulfides from a sulfide-rich zone within or at themargin of the deeper layers of the Irruptive. 相似文献

The Palaeoproterozoic Ni–Cu sulphide deposits of the PechengaComplex, Kola Peninsula, occur in the lower parts of ferropicriticintrusions emplaced into the phyllitic and tuffaceous sedimentaryunit of the Pilgujärvi Zone. The intrusive rocks are comagmaticwith extrusive ferropicrites of the overlying volcanic formation.Massive lavas and chilled margins from layered flows and intrusionscontain <3–7 ng/g Pd and Pt and <0·02–2·0ng/g Ir, Os and Ru with low Pd/Ir ratios of 5–11. Theabundances of platinum group elements (PGE) correlate with eachother and with chalcophile elements such as Cu and Ni, and indicatea compatible behaviour during crystallization of the parentalmagma. Compared with the PGE-depleted central zones of differentiatedflows (spinifex and clinopyroxene cumulate zones) the olivinecumulate zones at the base contain elevated PGE abundances upto 10 ng/g Pd and Pt. A similar pattern is displayed in intrusivebodies, such as the Kammikivi sill and the Pilgujärvi intrusion.The olivine cumulates at the base of these bodies contain massiveand disseminated Ni–Cu-sulphides with up to 2 µg/gPd and Pt, but the PGE concentrations in the overlying clinopyroxenitesand gabbroic rocks are in many cases below the detection limits.The metal distribution observed in samples closely representingliquid compositions suggests that the parental magma becamesulphide saturated during the emplacement and depleted in chalcophileand siderophile metals as a result of fractional segregationof sulphide liquids. Relative sulphide liquid–silicatemelt partition coefficients decrease in the order of Ir >Rh > Os > Ru > Pt = Pd > Cu. R-factors (silicate-sulphidemass ratio) are high and of the order of 104–105, andthey indicate the segregation of only small amounts of sulphideliquid in the parental ferropicritic magma. In differentiatedflows and intrusions the sulphide liquids segregated and accumulatedat the base of these bodies, but because of a low silicate–sulphidemass ratio the sulphide liquids had a low PGE tenor and Pt/Irand Cu/Ir ratios similar to the parental silicate melts. Duringcooling the sulphide liquid crystallized 40–50% of monosulphidesolid solution (mss) and the residual sulphide liquid becameenriched in Cu, Pt and Pd and depleted in Ir, Os and Ru. TheCu-rich sulphide liquid locally assimilated components of thesurrounding S-rich sediments as suggested by the radiogenicOs isotopic composition of some sulphide ores ( 相似文献

Serpentinized peridotites in an area south of Timmins, Ontario,have been extensively altered to tale and carbonate. In someplaces, rocks altered in this way have subsequently been decarbonatizedand converted back to a serpentine-magnetite assemblage. Chemicalanalyses of variably altered rocks indicate that the bulk chemicalchanges involved in the tale-carbonate alteration have beenthe addition of CO2, and removal of H2O and a very small amountof O2. Little or no magnesium, silicon, iron, or nickel metasomatismhas occurred. Consequently the relative partial pressures ofH2O and CO2 in solutions passing through the rocks are likelyto have been controlling factors for the alteration and subsequentdecarbonatization. 相似文献

Geochemistry of the J-M Reef of the Stillwater Complex, Minneapolis Adit Area II. Silicate Mineral Chemistry and Petrogenesis 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
The platinum group element (PGE) rich J-M Reef of the StillwaterComplex is associated with the reappearance of olivine and chromiteas cumulus phases within a sequence of gabbroic and noriticcumulates. The Olivine-Bearing Subzone (OBZ I) which hosts theReef is interpreted as the result of fresh influxes of magmainto the Stillwater chamber. Cumulus pyroxenes from the Norite Subzone (No II) overlyingOBZ I are enriched in Fe over Mg, depleted in Cr and have similarNi contents relative to pyroxenes from the underlying GNo I.The most primitive pyroxene compositions are found in PBc andBc layers within OBZ I, and the most evolved as oikocrysts inOBZ I anorthositic layers. Plagioclase An content correlatesclosely with pyroxene MgO/FeO, except within OBZ I where a verticalAn/En trend is observed. These observations may be synthesized into a model involvingreplenishment of the chamber by high pressure differentiatesof a liquid P, representing the parental magma to the UltramaficSeries of the Stillwater. Liquid P crystallizes olivine at thepressure of the Stillwater chamber, but owing to migration ofthe olivine-orthopyroxene phase boundary is saturated with bronziteat higher pressures. The spectrum of cumulus mineralogy andmineral compositions within and above OBZ I may be generatedby a series of magma influxes having compositions derived byvarious degrees of high pressure fractionation from liquid P. The characteristic textures of the heterogenous plagioclase-olivinecumulates of OBZ I may be explained by mixing of P-type replenishingliquid with a fractionated resident liquid containing suspendedplagioclase crystals. Anorthositic layers within OBZ I formedfrom influxes of liquid derived by approximately 30 per centfractionation of P. Model density calculations indicate that the liquids shouldhave entered the chamber as a serious of buoyant plumes. Lateralvariations in OBZ I stratigraphy arise from pulses of differentsize spreading to varying distances from the feeder axis. TheReef formed from a single layer transgressing earlier faciestransitions. 相似文献

Munro Township, in the Archean Abitibi greenstone belt of northeastOntario, contains volcanic and hypabyssal rocks of two magmaseries: (1) an Fe-rich tholeiitic series of basaltic to daciticlava flows (3–10 m thick), layered peridotite-pyroxenite-gabbroflows (120 m thick), and layered sills (700 m thick); (2) anultramafic-mafic komatiitic series, comprising discrete lavaflows of peridotitic to andesitic composition (1–17 mthick), layered peridotite-gabbro flows (120 m thick), and layeredsills (500 m thick). The komatiitie lavas form a successionabout 1000 m thick that is both underlain and overlain by thickersuccessions of tholeiitic volcanic rocks. Three types of komatiite are recognized: peridotitic, pyroxenitic,and basaltic komatiites. The most ultramafic are peridotiticcumulates rich in forsteritic olivine (Fo89–94), at thebases of flows and sills. Many less mafic peridotitic komatiites(MgO: 20–30 per cent), which typically form the upperparts of flows and the marginal parts of small intrusions, exhibitspinifex textures indicative of their formation from ultrabasicliquids. Pyroxenitic komatiites (MgO: 12–20 per cent)also may contain olivine, but are dominated by clinopyroxene,usually in spinifex textures. Basaltic komatiites (MgO <12per cent) are composed mainly of clino-pyroxene and plagioclaseor devitrified glass, rarely in spinifex texture and more commonlyin equigranular textures. Peridotitic komatiite with roughly30 per cent MgO appears to represent a parental liquid fromwhich the more ultramafic komatiites formed by accumulationof olivine, and the less mafic types were derived by fractionationof olivine, joined and finally succeeded in later stages byclinopyroxene and plagioclase. Komatiites of Munro Township share many of the characteristicsof the komatiites from the Barberton Mountain Land, South Africa(Voljoen & Viljoen, 1969a and b), but lack the high CaO/Al2O3ratios that distinguish the Barberton rocks. The Munro komatiitesare identical in this respect to ultramafic volcanic rocks inAustralia, Canada, Rhodesia, and India. It is proposed thatthe definition of the term komatiite be broadened so that itincludes all members of this ultramafic-mafic rock series, notonly those from Barberton Mountain Land. The proposed criteriaare: (1) highly ultramafic compositions in noncumulate lavas;(2) unusual volcanic structures such as spinifex texture andpolyhedral jointing; (3) low Fe/Mg ratios at given Al2O3 valuesor high CaO/Al2O3 ratios; low TiO2 at given SiO2; and high MgO,NiO, and Cr2O3. 相似文献

The Jinchuan Ultramafic Intrusion: Cumulate of a High-Mg Basaltic Magma 总被引：30，自引：1，他引：30
The Jinchuan intrusion, situated in Gansu province, China, isan ultramafic dyke-like body emplaced in the Longshoushan upliftedterrain on the southwest margin of the Sino-Korea platform.The intrusion is 6 km long, 350 m wide and hosts a major Ni-Cusulfide deposit. It comprises three subchambers: the west, west-central,and east. The two western subchambers are narrow and deep, andboth are laterally zoned from dunite in the core through Iherzoliteto olivine pyroxenite toward the margins. The eastern subchamberis shallow and wide, and it shows vertical stratification gradingfrom dunite at the base upward into Iherzolite and plagioclaseIherzolite, then back to Iherzolite at the top. Sixty rock samples from the Jinchuan intrusion have been analyzedfor major and trace elements, and 54 samples were also analyzedfor the REE. All samples contain > 24 wt.% MgO, with themajority having > 35% when recalculated to 100% anhydrous.Negative linear correlations are observed between MgO and mostother constituents (except for a few such as Na2O, K2O, Sr,and Rb, which may have been affected by alteration), and itappears that the rocks were essentially formed as mixtures ofcumulus olivine and primary magma. Electron microprobe analyses show olivine compositions fromFo79 to Fo86, with most between Fo83 and Fo85. The MgO/(MgO+ FeO) value of the primary magma is calculated to have been 0.64, and its MgO content is estimated to have been 12 wt.%.Thus, the Jinchuan igneous body is probably the ultramafic cumulateportion of an intrusion of a high-magnesium basaltic magma relatedto continental rifting. We suggest that the two western subchambers of the Jinchuanintrusion represent the main conduit to the original magma chamberand that their zoning was formed by flow differentiation. Theeastern subchamber probably represents a higher level of themagma chamber, where crystallization was marked by convectionand periodic replenishment. After consolidation, the Jinchuanintrusion was tilted to the east so the deeper parts of thewestern subchambers are now exposed to the same erosion levelas the shallower part of the eastern subchamber. 相似文献

The portion of the Fe–S–O system including pyrrbotite,wüsite, magnetite, and iron has been studied between 900and 1080 °C by modifed silica-tube techniques. At 900 °C,tie lines extend from pyrrhotite containing between 63.53 and62.8±0.2 wt. per cent Fe to wüstite solid solutionand form pyrrhotite containing between 62.8 and 60.0 wt. percent Fe to magnetite. A ternary eutectic, troilite-wüstite-iron-liquidoccurs at 915±2 °C. A ternary invariant point, wherepyrrhotite (composition 62.8±0.2 wt. per cent Fe)+wüstite magnetite+liquid occurs at 934 °C. Pyrrohotite compositionstrongly influences the temperature of thee magnetite-pyrrhotitesolidus. Magnetite-pyrrhotite assemblages begin to melt at 934°C when the pyrrhotite contains 62.8 wt. lper cent Fe, at1010 °C when it contains 62.5 wt. per cent Fe, at 1030 °Cwhen it contains 62.0 wt. per cent Fe, and at 1050 °C whenit contains 60.5 wt. per cent Fe. Craig & Naldrett (1967) have shown that up to 20 wt. percent nickel substituting for iron in pyrrhotite solid solutionon a weight per cent basis has little effect on magnetite-pyrrhotitesolidus temperature and that up to 2 wt. per cent copper substitutingin a sunukar way lowers the solidus less than 20 °C. Byredetermining the solidus in the presence of H2O at 2 kb totalpressure Naldrett & Ricahrdson (1967) have show that, withinexperimental accuracy (± 10 °C), water has no effecton melting temperature. since natural iron-sulfide magmas rarelycrystallize pyrrhotites containing more than 62.5 wt. per centtotal metal, the temperature range of from 1010 to 1050 °Cdetermined in this study is probably within 20 °C of theminimum temperature of introduction of a large number of magnaticsulfide ores. Comparison of the melting temperatures of ores with those ofthe rocks with which they are associated suggest that crystallizationunder different water pressures is responsible for the presenceof sulfides disseminated as rounded ‘buck-shot’type spherules in some rocks ans as an interstittial fillingin others. The composition of an iron sufide-oxide ore magma settling fromits associated silicate magma is controlled by the sulfur andoxygen fugacities of the silicate magma at the moment when equilibrationbetween the two ceases. In the case of large bodies of massivesulfide ore, equilibration probably ceased when the ore settledout of its host; the sulfide to magnetite ratio of such orewill depen on how far below its liquidus temperature the sulfide-oxideliquid was at the moment of separation. In the case of sulfide-richdroplets remaining disseminated throughtot the plutonic hostrock, equilibration probably continued to subsolidus temperatures;under these conditions it is possible that the droplets maylose all of their oxygen to the host rock. Finally in the caseof sulfife-rich droplets trapped within rapidly cooled volcanicrocks complete re-equilibration was probably prevented by therate of cooling and consequently these droplets retain muchof their original oxygen as magnetite. 相似文献
