Abstract:
AbstractAlbitite, locally aegirine- and riebeckite-bearing, formed as a result of sodium metasomatism of felsic dykes and argillites along the Melones Fault Zone near Jamestown, California. Pyrite, magnetite, hematite and titanite are common in small amounts in altered dykes. The dykes were originally plagioclase-hornblende porphyritic, and had major and trace element abundances typical of calc-alkaline rocks, whereas they now have Na2O contents as high as 11.40%. Associated fracture-filling veins are dominated by albite, but locally include aegirine, analcime, paragonite, calcite and sodic scapolite. Quartz is present in most albitic rocks, but is absent in riebeckite- and aegirine-bearing samples. Albitization predated CO2 metasomatism and formation of sericite-pyrite assemblages that are typical of gold deposits of the Mother Lode Belt.Alkaline fluids responsible for Na-metasomatism had elevated Na+/K+ and Na+/H+ relatively high fO2, and low aH4SiO4. The presence of titanite indicates fluid. The presence of titanite indicates fluid XCO2 was low, in contrast to fluids that formed later carbonate-bearing assemblages. Sodic scapolite suggests that, at least locally, the fluids attained very high salinities.Mass balance calculations indicate that alteration involved addition of large amounts of sodium, and the removal of SiO2 and K2O. Textural preservation, combined with volume factors calculated from specific gravity and whole rock analytical data, indicate that Na-metasomatism was essentially isovolumetric.Sodium-rich zones along the Melones Fault Zone are closely associated with fault-bounded bodies of ultramafic rock, typically altered to talc-carbonate or quartz-magnesite-Cr muscovite assemblages. Carbonatization and talc-forming reactions in the ultramafic rocks may lead to SiO2-undersaturated fluids. Expansion of the muscovite stability field in terms of Na+/K+-Na+/H+, as a result of incorporation of Cr (up to 7.7% Cr2O3) in muscovite, would result in H+- and K+-depletion as the fluid interacts with ultramafic rocks. This could lead to fluids with elevated Na+/K+ and high pH, as documented in this occurrence.

Abstract:
AbstractPeraluminous granites and trondhjemites make up small plutonic bodies intruded into high-grade paragneisses in the Peloritani Mountains, marking the beginning of late Variscan granitoid magmatism in southernmost Italy. The granites range from low-Ca monzogranites to alkali feldspar granites, while the trondhjemites vary from trondhjemites s.s. to low-Ca trondhjemites. Relatively high radiogenic (87Sr/86Sr)i ratios (mostly from 0.7073 to 0.7125) and negative εNd values (mostly from −5.66 to −8.73) point to crustal sources for all the granitoids. Major and trace element compositions indicate an absence of genetic relationships between the trondhjemites s.s. and the low-Ca granitoids, but possible relationships between the low-Ca trondhjemites and the granites. All of the studied granitoids have near-pure melts compositions, consistent with H2O-fluxed and dehydration melting of metasediments for the trondhjemites and the granites, respectively. However, the unusual compositions of the low-Ca trondhjemites and microstructural evidence in these rocks for pervasive subsolidus replacement of magmatic feldspars by secondary sodic plagioclase indicate that they were derived instead from metasomatic alteration of the granites. Thus, water may be involved in the production of trondhjemites in two different ways, driving water-fluxed melting in the magma source and driving alkali metasomatism at the sites of granite emplacement in the upper crust.

Abstract:
The Piquiri Syenite Massif, southernmost Brazil, is part of the post-collisional magmatism related to the Neoproterozoic Brasiliano-Pan-African Orogenic Cycle. The massif is about 12 km in diameter and is composed of syenites, granites, monzonitic rocks and lamprophyres. Diopside-phlogopite, diopside-biotite-augite-calcic-amphibole, are the main ferro-magnesian paragenesis in the syenitic rocks. Syenitic and granitic rocks are co-magmatic and related to an ultrapotassic, silica-saturated magmatism. Their trace element patterns indicate a probable mantle source modified by previous, subduction-related metasomatism. The ultrapotassic granites of this massif were produced by fractional crystallization of syenitic magmas, and may be considered as a particular group of hypersolvus and subsolvus A-type granites. Based upon textural, structural and geochemical data most of the syenitic rocks, particularly the fine-grained types, are considered as crystallized liquids, in spite of the abundance of cumulatic layers, schlieren, and compositional banding. Most of the studied samples are metaluminous, with K2O/Na2O ratios higher than 2. The ultrapotassic syenitic and lamprophyric rocks in the Piquiri massif are interpreted to have been produced from enriched mantle sources, OIB-type, like most of the post-collisional shoshonitic, sodic alkaline and high-K tholeiitic magmatism in southernmost Brazil. The source of the ultrapotassic and lamprophyric magmas is probably the same veined mantle, with abundant phlogopite + apatite + amphibole that reflects a previous subduction-related metasomatism.

Abstract:
Mineralogical and chemical data are presented for a suite of Na–Cr-rich clinopyroxenes associated with chromite, winchite (sodium-calcium amphibole), titanite and calcite in Mg-Cr-rich silicocarbonatites from the Samalpatti carbonatite complex, Tamil Nadu, South India. The Mg-Cr-rich silicocarbonatites occur as 10–30 cm large enclaves in pyroxenites. The chemical composition of the pyroxenes differs among individual enclaves, with variable proportions of diopside, kosmochlor and jadeite-aegirine end-members. These compositions fill a previously unoccupied space in the kosmochlor-diopside-jadeite+aegirine ternary plot, indicating a distinct origin of kosmochlor-rich pyroxene compared with previous findings from diverse settings. The Na–Cr-rich clinopyroxene has low ΣREE = 9.2 ppm, with slight enrichment in LREE (LaN = 7), coupled with low HREE (YbN = 0.6), and flat HREE, paralleled by a significant fractionation of Nb/Ta (2408) and Th/U (26.5). Sodic metasomatism (fenitization) associated with either carbonatite emplacement at shallow levels or during carbonatite ascent through the upper mantle most likely was the major process operating in the area. We suggest two scenarios of the formation of Na–Cr-rich pyroxene: (1) from mantle-derived chromian mineral phases (spinel and/or garnet) through fenitization, with subsequent corrosion by growing winchite due to volatile influx; (2) via metasomatic reaction of Cr-rich garnet in mantle peridotite due to reaction with Na-rich carbonatite melt. Collectively, the appearance of kosmochlor may play an important role in deconvolving metasomatic processes, and fenitization in particular. If combined with petrologic experiments, it could improve our understanding of the origin and subsequent history of chemical signatures of carbonate-rich materials in the mantle.

Abstract:
A mineralogical study was carried out in mafic and felsic volcanic rocks of the Acampamento Velho Alloformation at Cerro do Bugio, Perau and Serra de Santa Bárbara areas (Camaquã Basin) in southern Brazil. The Acampamento Velho bimodal event consists of two associations: lower mafic at the base and upper felsic at the top. Plagioclase and alkali-feldspar were studied using an electronic microprobe, and magnetite, ilmenite, rutile, illite and alkali-feldspar were investigated through scanning electron microscopy. The rocks were affected by a process of late sodic autometasomatism. In mafic rocks, Ca-plagioclase was transformed to albite and pyroxenes were altered. In felsic rocks, sanidine was partially pseudomorphosed, generating heterogeneous alkali-feldspar. In this association, unstable Ti-rich magnetite was replaced by rutile and ilmenite. In mafic rocks, the crystallization sequence was: (1) Ti-rich magnetite (?), (2) pyroxene and Ca-plagioclase, (3) albite (alteration to Ca-plagioclase), (4) sericite, chlorite and calcite (alteration to pyroxene), and kaolinite (alteration to plagioclase/albite). In felsic rocks: (1) zircon, (2) Ti-rich magnetite, (3) sanidine, (4) quartz. The introduction of late Na-rich fluids, generated the formation of (5) heterogeneous alkali-feldspar, (6) ilmenite and rutile from the Ti-rich magnetite, (7) albite in the spherulites. Finally, alteration of sanidine, vitroclasts and pumice to (8) illite.

Abstract:
AbstractStrontium-rich epidote, including epidote-(Sr) and epidote with major amounts of Sr (i.e. epidote containing up to 17.3 wt.% SrO), was found in pumpellyite schist and epidote blueschist in a tectonic block in the serpentinite mélange of the Kurosegawa Zone, central Kyushu, Japan. The tectonic block is 20 m wide and made primarily of lawsonite blueschist, with subordinate amounts of pumpellyite schist and epidote blueschist. The pumpellyite schist typically occurs at the edge of the block and is composed mainly of pumpellyite with subordinate amounts of strontium-poor epidote, albite and chlorite, and thin veins of fine-grained calcite and clinopyroxene. Epidote-(Sr) forms rims around strontium-poor epidote, fills fractures in strontium-poor epidote and also occurs interstitially between pumpellyite aggregates and along the boundaries between pumpellyite and calcite-clinopyroxene veins. The epidote blueschist is found between the pumpellyite schist and lawsonite blueschist, and consists mainly of sodic amphibole, epidote and titanite, with albite veining. Strontium-rich epidote occurs as rims, replacing Sr-poor epidote near the albite vein. The bulk strontium contents of the rocks are as follows: lawsonite blueschist (200 ppm), epidote blueschist (2800 ppm) and pumpellyite schist (~10,700 ppm). The chemical and petrological characteristics of the Sr-rich epidote-bearing metabasites suggest that the infiltration of a metamorphic fluid promoted extensive Sr metasomatism during the later stages of high-pressure metamorphism.

The newly-discovered Oberon gold deposit, Tanami Goldfields, represents a Paleoproterozoic mesothermal orogenic gold deposit hosted in the Tanami Group. Recent drilling has intersected extensive mineralised zones at various positions within the lower stratigraphy. Studying drillhole TID0065 using a number of different techniques, the project set out to understand the lithostratigraphy of the sequence and its relationship with gold mineralisation, constraints on depositional environments and associated hydrothermal alteration, along with correlations to other deposits in the region. The sequence consists of a dolomitic mudstone, grading up into a phyllite, with a siltstone protolith. This meta-sandstone represents the main host for gold mineralisation and is similar to that seen in the Coyote deposit. Conformably overlying this unit is a rapidly-deposited well-defined turbidite sequence. Gold is also hosted in the overlying Boudin Chert unit, a graphitic, pyrite rich rock that has hosts distinctive diagenetic boudin structures. The Boudin Chert represents a transition into an anoxic sediment-starved environment. Increased clastic input along with a drop in sea level further defines the rest of the sequence, with a siltstone, mudstone and sandstone package and intercalated volcaniclastics and ignimbrites noted in the upper part of the drillhole extending into the Killi Killi Formation. Mineralisation is predominantly stratabound but thrust stacking provides a secondary control to the gold distribution pattern. Gold mineralisation is associated with Na-enrichment and K-depletion; albite is the dominant feldspar in the gold-hosting assemblage. This demonstrates a possible sodic metasomatism of an alkali assemblage. The wide variation in chlorite composition, expressed as varying proportions of chamosite and clinochlore end-members between lithologies, is suggestive of multiple fluid phases and/or alteration events, including possible „seafloor metamorphism‟ prior to hydrothermal activity. Primary alteration in the deposit is represented by an earlier chlorite-sericite assemblage and a later stage calcite-dolomite alteration in certain lithologies at the base of the sequence. Using chlorite thermometry, peak metamorphic temperatures were calculated to be at 366 ± 21 °C (i.e. greenschist facies); conditions reach amphibolite grade less than a kilometre away. Electron probe microanalysis suggests the mineralising fluids were volatile-rich, as demonstrated by the high F content of biotite and apatite. Future exploration potential for deposits of this type should focus on identification of Fe-enriched turbiditic sequences, chlorite-albite-muscovite assemblages and the presence of arsenopyrite. Graphitic oxygen-deprived beds enriched in a range of trace elements with strong pyrite alteration are also good indicators of gold mineralisation.
