چکیده

In this study two small, but genetically related iron carbonate deposits Mačje Jame and Vranjski Potok, south west of Busovača (MBSM), located in the pre-Devonian metamorphic complex were investigated in detail. Analyses of the main chemical components, trace elements, REE, isotope composition of C, O, S, 87Sr/86Sr ratio of rhyolite, plot of REE normalized to CI chondrites and a microscopic study of thin and polished sections were performed. Three mineralization phases were identifi ed: the oldest is the main phase (90-95 wt %) with Fe (Ca, Mg, Mn) carbonates (siderite, ankerite, Fe-dolomite) as the predominant minerals, whereas magnetite, haematite, albite, allanite, pyrite I, quartz I represent subordinate minerals. The second phase is the pneumatolytic-kata-thermal phase (5-10 wt %) characterized by pyrrhotite relicts, pyrite II, quartz II, arsenopyrite and some supposed accessory minerals such as cassiterite, wolframite, gersdorffi te, and columbite. The youngest is the kata-meso-epithermal-hydatogene phase (<1 wt %) which gave quartz III-chalcedony as gangue mineral and marmatite, chalcopyrite, boulangerite, gel-pyrite-marcasite, sphalerite, enargite, tetrahedrite, galena, cosalite, bismuth and sternbergite as ore minerals. An almost identical paragenesis has been observed in the oldest ore deposit of the Gemericum Palaeozoic metamorphic complex (RADVANEC and BARTALSKY, 1987). The fi rst and second mineralization phase of both ore deposits formed in the Carboniferous from metamorphogenohydrothermal fl uids generated from S-granitoid magmatic rocks and their protoliths. This claim is strongly supported by very similar REE and their interior disposition between these deposits and metarhyolites as well as by the obtained strontium ratios. The third, youngest phase is the product of a very weak overprint of hydrothermal activity in the Late Variscan (290-260 Ma) and in the Upper Permian-Lower Triassic (260-240 Ma).

Genesis of the Tang Zagh iron deposit by using mineralogical and geochemical data, Hormozgan province

The Tang Zagh iron deposit is located about 117 km Northeast of Bandar Abbas, Hormozgan Province in the structural folded-thrusted zone of the Zagros basin. Iron mineralization occurs in the form of iron oxides (hematite) within the salt dome and/or in fractures and between the layers of the younger strata with the Tertiary age. Based on the microscopic studies, dolomitic fragments of the host ...

In the Case of Maden Complex, Geochemical Constraints on the Origin and Tectonic Implication of Eocene Magmatism in SE Turkey

The origin and geodynamic setting of the Maden Complex, which is situated in the Bitlis–Zagros Suture Zone in the Southeast Anatolian Orogenic Belt, is still controversial due to lack of systematic geological and geochemical data. Here we present new whole rock major–trace–rare earth element data from the Middle Eocene volcanic rocks exposed in Maden Complex and discuss their origin in the ligh...

Geochemical Constraints on the Origin of Volcanic Rocks from the Andean Northern Volcanic Zone, Ecuador

Whole-rock geochemical data on basaltic to rhyolitic samples from 12 volcanic centers are used to constrain the role of continental crust in the genesis of magmas formed beneath the anomalously wide subduction-related volcanic arc in Ecuador. Relatively homogeneous, mantle-like, isotopic compositions across the arc imply that the parental magmas in Ecuador were produced largely within the mantl...
