The results of electron-microscopy investigations of calcite precipitated in a water-conducting fracture in a ca. 1800 Ma granitic rock from 207 m below sea level at the island of Aspo on the southeastern (Baltic) coast of Sweden are compared with measurements of carbon, oxygen, and sulfur isotope composition of the calcite and embedded pyrite. Parts of the calcite had extremely low delta 13C values, indicative of biological activity, and contained bacteria-like microfossils occurring in colonies and as typical biofllms. X-ray microanalysis demonstrated these fossils to be enriched in carbon. Our results provide evidence for ancient life in deep granitic rock aquifers and suggest that the modern microbial life found there is intrinsic. Modeling historical and present geochemical processes in deep granitic aquifers should, therefore, preferably include biologically catalyzed reactions. The results also suggest that the search for life on other planets, e.g., Mars, should include subsurface material. 相似文献

A compilation and comparison of fracture mineral studies from the Canadian and Fennoscandian Shields and the French Massif Central shows many similarities indicating larger external control over fracture mineral deposition, with different rock types exerting local controls. The sites investigated represent a wide range of geological settings, and host rock types ranging from felsic intrusive and extrusives to ultramafic intrusives and volcanics that span an age range from 2.5 to 0.36 Ga. Typical fracture minerals found at Canadian Shield sites include calcite, quartz, chlorite and clays, and these do not appear to be dependant on age, erosional depth or geological environment. The Fennoscandian Shield has a much larger variety of fracture filling minerals with epidote, zeolites, prehnite, fluorite, pyrrhotite, Fe oxides, serpentine, graphite, magnesite and barite in addition to the minerals typically found at Canadian Shield sites. The major control on fracture mineral type is most likely variations in rock type, and fluid chemistry and temperature. 相似文献

Oxidizing conditions normally prevail in surface waters and near-surface groundwaters, but there is usually a change to reducing conditions in groundwater at greater depth. Dissolved O2 originally present is consumed through biogenic and inorganic reactions along the flow paths. Fracture minerals participate in these reactions and the fracture mineralogy and geochemistry can be used to trace the redox front. An important task in the safety assessment of a potential repository for the disposal of nuclear waste in crystalline bedrock, at an approximate depth of 500 m in Sweden, is to demonstrate that reducing conditions can be maintained for a long period of time. Oxygen may damage the Cu canisters that host nuclear waste; additionally, in the event of a canister failure, oxidizing conditions may increase the mobility of some radionuclides. The present study of the near-surface redox front is based on mineralogical (redox-sensitive minerals), geochemical (redox-sensitive elements) and U-series disequilibrium investigations of mineral coatings along open fractures. The fractures have been sampled along drill cores from closely spaced, 100 m deep boreholes, which were drilled during the site investigation work in the Laxemar area, south-eastern Sweden, carried out by the Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Co. (SKB). The distribution of the redox-sensitive minerals pyrite and goethite in open fractures shows that the redox front (switch from mainly goethite to mainly pyrite in the fractures) generally occurs at about 15–20 m depth. Calcite leaching by recharging water is indicated in the upper 20–30 m and positive Ce-anomalies suggest oxidation of Ce down to 20 m depth. The U-series radionuclides show disequilibrium in most of the samples, indicating mobility of U during the last 1 Ma. In the upper 20 m, U is mainly removed (due to oxidation) or has experienced complex removal and/or deposition. At depths of 35–55 m, both deposition and removal of U are indicated. Below 55 m, recent deposition of U is generally indicated which suggests removal of U near surface (oxidation) and deposition of U below the redox front. Scattered goethite occurrences below the general redox front (down to ca 80 m) and signs of U removal at 35–55 m mostly correlate with sections of high transmissivity (and/or high fracture frequencies). This shows that highly transmissive fractures are generally required to allow oxygenated groundwaters at depth greater than ca 30 m. Removal of U (oxidation) below 55 m within the last 300 ka is not observed. Although penetration of glacial waters to great depths has been confirmed in the study area, their potential O2 load seems to have been reduced near the surface. 相似文献

Two sites on the east coast of Sweden (Forsmark and Laxemar/Simpevarp) are currently being investigated as potential geologic hosts for a deep repository isolating high-level nuclear waste. In this paper, a methodology for fracture mineral studies is suggested with focus on the variation in depth of the fresh/saline water interface and location of the redox front in the bedrock. The most commonly precipitated fracture minerals in crystalline rocks are chlorite, calcite, quartz, K-feldspar, Ca–Al-silicates like epidote, prehnite and laumontite, sulphides and Fe-oxides. Of these, calcite is the mineral best suited for palaeohydrological studies since it precipitates during a wide range of conditions including low-temperature conditions during the Pleistocene and Holocene epochs. Sulphides and Fe-oxides/hydroxides provide information on the position of the redox front. In order to carry out palaeohydrological studies, a number of prerequisites are required such as; high quality drill core material, geological knowledge of the sequence of fracture mineralizations; the post-glacial (Holocene) evolution in the area; high quality groundwater chemistry, including stable isotopes; and a conceptual model of the hydrogeochemistry that is to be tested. The choice of methods used here is based on the fact that both the Forsmark and Laxemar/Simpevarp sites are situated in Palaeoproterozoic crystalline rocks with reactivation of fractures over at least 1.5 Ga, and they have been exposed to glaciations/deglaciations and transgressions/regressions of the Baltic Sea during the Quaternary. This has resulted in a palaeohydrology with a range of groundwaters of quite different chemistry and stable isotopic composition. The suggested scheme for solving the variation in depth of the fresh/saline water interface focuses on fracture calcite. It includes a step-by-step procedure with;

Red-staining of rocks due to fluid–rock interaction during hydrothermal circulation in fractures is a common feature in crystalline
sequences. In this study, red-stained metagranitic rock adjacent to fractures in Forsmark, central Sweden, has been studied
with emphasis on the mineral reactions and associated element mobility occurring during the alteration. The main mineral reactions
associated with the hydrothermal alteration are an almost complete saussuritization of plagioclase accompanied by total chloritization
of biotite. Magnetite has been partly replaced by hematite whereas quartz and K-feldspar were relatively unaffected by the
hydrothermal alteration. We show that redistribution of elements on the whole rock scale was very limited and is mainly manifested
by enrichment of Na2O and volatiles and depletion of CaO, FeO and SiO2 in the red-stained rock. However, on the microscale, element redistribution was more extensive, with both intragranular and
intergranular migration of e.g. Ca, K, Na, Al, Si, Fe, Ba, Cs, Rb, Sr, Ti and REEs. The altered rock shows a shift towards
higher total oxidation factors, but the change is smaller than 1σ and the red-staining of the rock is due to hematite dissemination
rather than a significant oxidation of the rock. An increase in the connected porosity is also observed in the altered rock. 相似文献

This paper gives an overview of the behaviour of U in two natural systems, the Forsmark site (a granitic system) in Sweden and the Ruprechtov site (a Tertiary sedimentary system) in the Czech Republic, which have been investigated in the frame of the FUNMIG project. It is not a full review paper on U geochemistry. It shows how different approaches and methods have been used to derive information on U solubility and speciation, on characteristics of key processes as well as on timescales of these processes and accordingly information on the long-term stability of U phases in the natural systems. The results are set in a wider context by relation to selected results from other sites. 相似文献

Drilling through the Palaeoproterozoic bedrock at Forsmark, central Sweden, during the site investigation for a potential geological repository of highly radioactive nuclear waste has provided high quality drill-core material from the upper 1 km of the Fennoscandian Shield. Analyses of stable isotopes (δ13C, δ18O, δ34S, 87Sr/86Sr), rare earth elements and fluid inclusions in fracture filling calcite and pyrite from these drill cores have resulted in the discrimination of several episodes of fracture mineralisations. These events represent migration of fluids during a wide range of conditions, ranging from high-temperature hydrothermal to present-day groundwater circulation. Four major events have been distinguished: 1) Precipitation of epidote, chlorite and quartz under hydrothermal conditions (T > 150–200 °C) during the Proterozoic, sometime between 1.8 and 1.1 Ga. 2) Hydrothermal circulation at temperatures close to 200 °C with precipitation of adularia, albite, prehnite, laumontite, calcite and chlorite. Most of these minerals precipitated during a tectonothermal event between 1.1 and 1.0 Ga, possibly in response to far-field effects of the Sveconorwegian orogeny. 3) Precipitation of mainly quartz, calcite, pyrite and asphaltite occurred during the Palaeozoic, at temperatures between 60 and 190 °C (mainly at < 100 °C). Mixing of a fluid emanating from an organic rich overlying sedimentary cover and a deep basinal fluid from the crystalline bedrock is suggested to have caused this precipitation, possibly as a far-field response to the Caledonian orogeny and/or the development of the Caledonian foreland basin. 4) The youngest generation of fracture minerals is associated with formation of clay minerals and calcite with minor occurrences of pyrite and goethite. These minerals have probably precipitated episodically during a long time period (possibly from the Late Palaeozoic to the present) from various fluids at low temperature conditions (< 50 °C). Few calcites in equilibrium with the present groundwater suggest that the ongoing precipitation of calcite is very limited. 相似文献

Fracture minerals calcite, pyrite, gypsum, barite and quartz, formed during several events have been analysed for δ13C, δ18O, δ34S, 87Sr/86Sr, trace element chemistry and fluid inclusions in order to gain knowledge of the paleohydrogeological evolution of the Simpevarp area, south-eastern Sweden. This area is dominated by Proterozoic crystalline rocks and is currently being investigated by the Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Co. (SKB) in order to find a suitable location for a deep-seated repository for spent nuclear fuel. Knowledge of the paleohydrogeological evolution is essential to understand the stability or evolution of the groundwater system over a time scale relevant to the performance assessment for a spent nuclear fuel repository. The ages of the minerals analysed range from the Proterozoic to possibly the Quaternary. The Proterozoic calcite and pyrite show inorganic and hydrothermal-magmatic stable isotope signatures and were probably formed during a long time period as indicated by the large span in temperatures (c. 200–360 °C) and salinities (0–24 wt.% eq. CaCl2), obtained from fluid inclusion analyses. The Paleozoic minerals were formed from organically influenced brine-type fluids at temperatures of 80–145 °C. The isotopic results indicate that low temperature calcite and pyrite may have formed during different events ranging in time possibly from the end of the Paleozoic until the Quaternary. Formation conditions ranging from fresh to brackish and saline waters have been distinguished based on calcite crystal morphologies. The combination of δ18O and crystal morphologies show that the fresh–saline water interface has changed considerably over time, and water similar to the present meteoric water and brackish seawater at the site, have most probably earlier been residing in the bedrock. Organic influence and closed system in situ microbial activity causing disequilibrium are indicated by extremely low δ13C (down to −99.7‰), extreme variation in δ34S (−42.5‰ to +60.8‰) and trace element compositions. The frequency of calcite low in δ13C and high in Mn, as well as pyrite with biogenically modified δ34S decreases with depth. Strontium isotopes have been useful to separate the different generations and the Sr isotope ratios in the groundwaters have been determined mainly by in situ water–rock interaction processes. The difficulty of separating late Paleozoic calcite from possibly recent calcite, and the fact that these calcites are usually found in the same fracture systems indicate that water conducting structures have been intermittently conductive from the Paleozoic and onwards. The methodology used has been successful in separating the different generations and characterising their formation conditions. 相似文献

Fission-track thermochronology has been applied to apatite, zircon and titanite from various depths of the Baltic Shield. Burial due to Sveconorwegian (Grenville) and Caledonian foreland sedimentation is revealed.
Titanite and zircon fission-track ages from surface samples (from eastern Sweden) do not vary significantly and average ∼ 850 Myr. It is suggested that Sveconorwegian sediments reached a thickness of at least 8 km in eastern Sweden. Exhumation of these sediments was succeeded by deposition of Lower Palaeozoic cover rocks. Apatite fission-track ages along a transect from SW to NE across the shield, increase from ∼ 300 Myr to ∼ 900 Myr and yield the Phanerozoic history of subsidence and exhumation. Apatite fission tracks, in the basement of the thickest parts of the foreland basin, were totally annealed. These results suggest a > 600 km wide Caledonian foreland basin filled by Devonian sediments that were > 2.5 km thick in southern and western Sweden, thinning to the east (in Finland). 相似文献
