mineralogy, geochemistry and genesis of the gheshlagh bauxite deposit, southeast of gorgan
Authors
abstract
the gheshlagh bauxite deposit is located 110 km southeast of gorgan. the deposit has been developed as a stratiform horizon with more than 2 km length and a thickness of about 25 m along the contact of ruteh and elika carbonate formations. textural analysis indicates both allochthonous and autochtonous origins for the bauxites. bohemite, diaspore, anatase, rutile, hematite, goethite, kaolinite, svanbergite, pyrite, and quartz were identified in the ore paragenesis. based on textural and mineralogical evidence, the deposit can be divided into five distinct units including upper bauxite, upper kaolinite, hard bauxite, lower kaolinite and lower bauxite. accumulation coefficients of trace elements and geochemical indices such as ti/cr, tio2/al2o3, zr/ti and nb/y, combined with the geological evidence suggest the basaltic rocks of the soltanmeidan formation as the main source of bauxite materials. combination of mineralogical and geochemical data shows that the deposit formed in two main stages. first, bauxite materials, fe and ti oxides and clay minerals developed as authigenic bauxitization processes of basaltic parent rock. then, these materials were transported to karst depressions and were accumulated as a bauxite horizon.

The Zaraj-Sou bauxite deposit (southwest of Ramsar, Mazandaran Province, northern Iran) was developed as discontinuous stratified layers and/or lenses along the boundary between carbonate rocks of the Elika (Triassic) and shales and sandstones of the Shemshak (Lower Jurassic) formations. Diaspore, kaolinite, hematite, and anatase are the major mineral phases of the ores. Texturally, the bauxite...

Temelieh area is located about 20 Km northwest of Selseleh (Lorestan Province). Geologically, the area is a small part of the Harsin radiolarite complex. Petrography consists of radiolarite, peridotite, gabbro, plate dikes, basalt and andesite, limestone, and marble. Manganese mineralization occurs as vein-veinlet and is mainly formed in faults, joints, and fractures that crosscut in radiolarit...

The Qara Sabalan manganese deposit belongs to the Qara Dagh-Sabalan metallogenic zone and is located in the eastern part of this zone (north of Meshginshahr). Geology of the area include volcanic (pyroclastic) rocks and the small outcrop of sub volcanic bodies (quartz-monzodiorite) with Eocene to Oligocene age. Mn deposit is hosted within the trachyandesite and tuff. Mn mineralization occurs as...

Mehredjan bentonite deposit is located ~33 km southeast of Khoor in Isfehan province. It includes 15 discrete outcrops and occurs as layered and massive forms within a volcano-clastic sequence. Bentonitization process was accompanied with development of minerals such as montmorillonite, quartz, cristobalite, calcite, kaolinite, halite, albite, orthoclase, and muscovite. The collected field and ...

The Hajiabad manganese deposit is located about 40 km northeast of Hajiabad, Hormozgan Province. This deposit is structurally located in the southeastern border of the Sanandaj-Sirjan zone. The manganese mineralization in the study area is hosted by calcite-dolomitic marbles and mica schists of Devonian age, as layers, veins and massive ores. Based on microscopic investigations, the ores are do...
