Noble gases fingerprint a metasedimentary fluid source in the Macraes orogenic gold deposit, New Zealand
The world-class Macraes orogenic gold deposit (∼10Moz resource) formed during the late metamorphic uplift of a metasedimentary schist belt in southern New Zealand. Mineralising fluids, metals and metalloids were derived from within the metasedimentary host. Helium and argon extracted from fluid inclusions in sulphide mineral grains (three crush extractions from one sample) have crustal signatur...
متن کاملOrogenic gold deposits: A proposed classification in the context of their crustal distribution and relationship to other gold deposit types
The so-called ‘mesothermal’ gold deposits are associated with regionally metamorphosed terranes of all ages. Ores were formed during compressional to transpressional deformation processes at convergent plate margins in accretionary and collisional orogens. In both types of orogen, hydrated marine sedimentary and volcanic rocks have been added to continental margins during tens to some 100 milli...
متن کاملSource Partitioning Using Stable Isotopes: Coping with Too Much Variation
BACKGROUND Stable isotope analysis is increasingly being utilised across broad areas of ecology and biology. Key to much of this work is the use of mixing models to estimate the proportion of sources contributing to a mixture such as in diet estimation. METHODOLOGY By accurately reflecting natural variation and uncertainty to generate robust probability estimates of source proportions, the ap...
متن کاملUsing Thermochronology to Understand Orogenic Erosion
Erosion of orogenic mountain ranges exhumes deeply buried rocks and controls weathering, climate, and sediment production and transport at a variety of scales. Erosion also affects the topographic form and kinematics of orogens, and it may provide dynamic feedbacks between climate and tectonics by spatially focused erosion and rock uplift. Thermochronology measures the timing and rates at which...
متن کاملHot and Cold Spring Deposits as a Source of Palaeo-fluid Samples on Mars
Introduction: Fluid inclusions are micron-scale volumes of fluid entrapped during the precipitation of minerals. Fluids are entrapped during primary mineral growth, and during healing of later fractures. The water in fluid inclusions in minerals precipitated in the upper crust of Mars contains a record of the ambient environment during precipitation. This includes data on fluid temperature and ...
