Abstract

Hercynian S-type granites from the Hauzenberg igneous complex show a range of boron concentration from 1 to 12 ppm. The whole-rock boron data are not significantly correlated with concentrations of other trace elements (Zr, Rb, Ba, Sr, Ni, V, Co, Cu, Zn, F); neither is boron correlated with the major elements (except with sodium) or with the differentiation index (DI). The boron budget in the rock-forming minerals (plagioclase, alkali feldspar, quartz, biotite, muscovite) of the tourmaline-free granites reveals that the highest concentrations of boron occur in muscovite, whereas the greatest amount of boron is incorporated in plagioclase (57-69%) due to its high modal amount. Boron in plagioclase increases with the extent of of sericitization (obtained by X-ray diffractometry). Muscovite in a pegmatite contains more than 50% of the total boron. The areal distribution of boron within the complex is neither uniform nor random; an increase of boron concentrations from granodioritic to granitic rocks is indicated, whereas the late differentiates are depleted in boron.

Relations of zoned pegmatites to other pegmatites, granite, and metamorphic rocks in the southern Black Hills, South Dakota

Journal Article Norton, J; Redden, J

The pegmatite field and the Harney Peak Granite of the southern Black Hills, South Dakota, form an igneous system that progresses from slightly biotitic muscovite granite through layered pegmatitic granite, with alternating sodic and potassic rocks, to simple plagioclase-quartz-perthite pegmatites, and on to zoned pegmatites. Most of the country rocks are Lower Proterozoic mica schists that were isoclinally folded and metamorphosed to biotite and almandine grades before granitic activity began. At 1,700 Ga, intrusion of the Harney Peak Granite created a large dome in these rocks, a thermal aureole with a staurolite, a first sillimanite isograd, and a small areamore »« less
PEGMATITES OF THE MIDDLETOWN AREA, CONNECTICUT

Journal Article Stugard, F - U.S. Geol. Survey Bull.

The pegmatites of the Middletown area in Connecticut have been mined almost continuously for feldspar and muscovite mica since about 1865. Pegmatites in this and other areas have recently become the subject of renewed interest because they are the potential source of beryl. From 1948 to 1950 the Geological Survey studied and mapped the pegmatites in an area of about 58 square miles near Middletown. The primary objectives of the mapping were to determine beryllium resources of tbe Middletown area and to ascertain relations of beryl-bearing pegmatites to non-beryl-bearing pegmatites and to type of wall rock.

Geology of the Hog Mountain tonalite and associated lode gold deposits, Northern Alabama Piedmont: Final report for the 1986-1987 project year

Technical Report Green, N; Lesher, C

The Hog Mountain tonalite intrudes lower Paleozoic graphitic phyllites of the Wedowee formation and is transgressed by a series of planar, en echelon, bifurcating, auriferous quartz-sulfide veins with well-defined sericite-sulfide alteration envelopes. Least-altered tonalite is white, medium-grained, and weakly to non-foliated. It is characterized by moderately uniform distributions of quartz and oscillatory-normal zoned plagioclase (An/sub 7-41/), with minor amounts of biotite, muscovite, ilmenite, apatite, zircon and corroded garnet; K-feldspar is rare. Least-altered granitoids are peraluminous (A/CNK > 1.15), exhibit significant major- and trace-element variations, are characterized by relatively low REE contents, and have moderately high /delta//sup 18/O (+9.7 to +11.2more »« less
Hydrothermal alteration facies within the intrusive-hosted Salave gold prospect, NW Spain

Conference Harris, M - Geol. Soc. Am., Abstr. Programs; (United States)

The Salave gold prospect occurs within an Hercynian granodioritic complex intruding Cambro-Ordovician metasediments and a heterogeneous gabbroic body. Mineralization consists mostly of disseminated and veinlet pyrite, arsenopyrite, molybdenite, stibnite, and lesser sphalerite associated with a zoned sequence of hydrothermal alteration. Gold occurs as free particles and/or intergrown with the sulfides. Mathematical appraisal of analytical data suggests that the hydrothermal alteration resulted from largely isochemical redistribution processes imposed on the mineralogy of the host granodiorite by influxes of sporadically boiling fluids rich in CO/sub 2/. Hydrothermal alteration is described in terms of a zonal sequence inward from unaltered host rock throughmore »« less
Thermally induced chemical migration: a natural analog approach. Progress report, September 1984-September 1985

Technical Report Papike, J

The objective has been to understand the extent and mechanisms of chemical migration in the broadest sense, i.e., over a range of temperatures and in diverse geologic media. Pegmatites are genetic links between ''normal granites'' and hydrothermal systems. At some stage in their crystallization history with falling temperature (and sometimes pressure) an aqueous fluid phase exsolves and coexists with a silicate melt. Little is known about the composition of these fluids, the element partitioning behavior between fluid and silicate melt, and how these fluids interact with previously crystallized granite. It is these fluids that ''leak'' out of the pegmatites andmore »« less
