Pyrite is an ordinary mineral which appears in different types of deposits and it is an important gold-bearing mineral in gold deposits. Through studying the composition typomorphic characteristics of pyrite, we have achieved some genesis information. However, the study on pyrite composition typomorphism in different genesis gold deposits is rare. The paper studied major and trace elements of pyrite of different genetic deposits by using δFe—δS, δFe/δS—As, (Fe+S)—As and Co—Ni—As plot method and achieved major elements characteristics of different deposits. The results show that each genetic type gold deposit has its typical characteristics. This result are well applicable to genetic studies of pyrite in gold deposits and the distribution characteristics are helpful for studying pyrite in gold deposits
Jilongshan Au-Cu deposit is a typical skarn deposit in the southeastern Hubei metallographic province of the Middle-Lower Yangtze River Fe-Cu metallogenic belt. But little study of ore-forming material source has been made in Jilongshan Au-Cu deposit. Therefore, we discussed the ore-forming material source by analyzing 15 lead geochemistry samples collected in Jilongshan deposit. The ranges of the Pb isotopic compositions are from 17.358 to 18.589 for 206Pb/204Pb, 15.414 to 15.745 for 207Pb/204Pb and 37.956 to 39.094 for 208Pb/204Pb, which are anomalous and their single-stage model ages cannot be used as a criterion for metallogenic epoch. However, the distributing characteristics of the single-stage model ages suggest that the ore Pb have mixing sources. The linear distribution of Pb isotope in tectonic model diagram suggests that the consistent relation of granodiorite porphyry, skarn, marble and ore, which is also a good proof that the ore-forming materials are partly from magma.
Morphology of pyrite has been an important indicator of conditions in the ore-forming environment. This study establishes a new pyrite morphology quantification method to characterize different types of magmatic-hydrothermal gold deposits, applying this method to the Linglong, Sanshandao and Xiadian magmatic-hydrothermal gold deposits in Jiaodong peninsula, China. We used K curve and coefficient Y to characterize the Linglong type and Jiaojia type gold deposits. It showed that Linglong type and Jiaojia type gold deposits had different K curves and coefficient Y characteristics. The results showed that this method was proper in magmatic-hydrothermal gold deposits. It is concluded that the K curve and the coefficient Y are important parameters to characterize pyrite morphology in magmatic-hydrothermal gold deposits. This quantification method was called “K curve method”.
Clay minerals are the main ingredients of the ocean floor sediments, which completely record a lot of geological information and have important meanings in the studies of source material, sedimentary environment, global climate change, sea-level fluctuation and ocean currents evolution. This paper studies composition and combination distribution characteristics of 312 surface clay mineral samples and makes the mineral mapping in Beibu gulf. The results show that the components of clay minerals in Beibu gulf are mainly mixed layer of illite and montmorillonite, kaolinite, chlorite and illite and each average content are 49.95%, 24.69%, 14.07% and 11.28%, respectively. According to combination and content of the clay minerals, the distribution areas of clay minerals in Beibu gulf can be divided into four divisions of 1, 2, 3 and 4 divisions. The differences of 4 divisions are closely related with the source area parent rocks and circulation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
