Full Text Available From the petrogenetic study is established that pluton of Trujillo is an porphyritic adamellite, crystallised in three phases with an alteration one. Later, the porphyritic microadamellite crystallised in three petrogenetic facies: biotitic, leucocratic and turmaline. Each facies has three crystalitation phases and an alteration one. The major elements were analysed in adamellites, microadamellites and contacts between tugsten veins and porphyritic adamellite. From Harker, AFM and CaO-Na2O-K2O diagrams is emphasized an alcaline and peraluminic character. The distribution of trace elements is agree with the material evolution; Rb, Cs. Sr. Ba y Li settle better this connection.
En función del estudio petrológico, el plutón de Trujillo está constituido por una adamellita porfídica que ha cristalizado en tres fases, presentando una cuarta de alteración. Posteriormente consolidó la microadamellita porfídica, bajo tres facies petrogenéticas, en el siguiente orden: Biotítica, leucocrática y turmalinizada. Cada una de estas tres facies comportan tres fases de cristalización y una de alteración. El análisis de elementos mayores ha sido realizado en las adamellitas, microadamellitas y en los contactos de: los filones volframíferos con la adamellita porfídica. De la interpretación del los diagramas de Harker y de los triangulares AFM y CaO-Na2-K2O se deduce un marcado carácter alcalino y peraluminoso en los tres grupos de muestras. Se han analizado también numerosos elementos traza, observándose una cIara concordancia entre el grado de diferenciación del material y el contenido en dichos elementos; siendo Rb, Cs, Sr, Ba y Li los que mejor reflejan dicha evolución. -

Full Text Available Logrosan apophyses (Cáceres, España has two differents petrographic types: a porphyritic two mica adamellite and a porphyritiv two mica microadamellite. It's an alkaline with silico-sodic trend and peraluminous granitoid. A greisen alteration has been produced by the tin-veins in the host-rock.
The moderatly high content values of uranium are ranged between 6.9 and 11.9 ppm, with a mean of 9.5 ppm. Thorium has lower concentrations levels. The Th/U ratio has an average value of 0.8.
The fact that thorium ís correlated positivels with ferromagnesian elements indicates that is probably contained within the boitites.
Higher thorium and uranium values are founded in the adamellite type.
Greisen has produced an uranium leaching that would be important as uranium mineralization source outside the apophyses. Although has not been observed uranium mineralizations in the geological area study.
La apófisis de Logrosán (Cáceres, España está constituida por una adamellita y una microdamellita, ambas de dos micas. Geoquímicamente presenta un carácter marcadamente alcalino, con una tendencia silicosódica clara, y peraluminoso. Los filones estanníferos existentes han producido una greisenificación en la roca encajante.
El fondo geoquímico del uranio está comprendido entre 6,9 y 11,9 ppm, con un valor medio de 9,5 ppm, y es ligeramente superior al habitual para estos materiales. El fondo del torio es inferior y el valor medio de la relación Th/U es de 0,8.
Existe una buena correlación positiva entre el torio y los elementos ferromagnesianos. Probablemente se encuentra asociado a las biotitas.
Los fondos geoquímicos más altos, en torio y uranio, corresponden a la facies adamellítica.
La greisenificación ha provocado una lixiviación de uranio que ha podido actuar como fuente para posibles mineralizaciones extraplutónicas, aunque en el estudio geológico de la zona no han sido -

The behaviour of radioactive elements (RE) during formation of multiphase intrusive series of various ages, types and alkalinity nature, placed in different structural formation zones of West Uzbekistan is discussed (on the basis of 230 quantitative determinations). It is established that maximum RE concentrations in the intrusive series considered are U=3-5, Th=11-17 g/t and correspond to granodiorites, adamellites, granites and granosienites. The typical behaviour for U and Th is the growth of their concentrations in the direction from gabbro- to granodiorites (granosienites) and granites, and then decrease to leucocrat granites (alkaline, biotite or bimica ones). The evolution of magmatic systems occurred not along the line of differentiation of melts, but along the line of their ''washing'' with fluid mainly at the level of magma generation and on their way to upper horizons of Earth crust. High concentrations (several times more than a clark) must occur in cases of additional RE introduction

The Archaean granitic terrane south and south-west of the Barberton greenstone belt consists predominantly of an older suite of tonalitic and trondhjemitic gneisses into which have been emplaced two large multi-component granitoid bodies known as the Heerenveen and Mpuluzi batholiths. Although geochronologic and Sr-isotopic studies demonstrate that there is little distinction between the ages and initial ratios of the various phases associated with these batholiths, each body displays contrasting textural and geochemical characteristics. The oldest phase is represented by coarse porphyritic granitic rocks into which is intruded a medium-to-fine-grained homogeneous granodioritic phase. Both phases are components of a bimodal association that is, in turn, intruded by a third phase which includes medium-grained pink or grey granodiorite and adamellite dykes feeding a homogeneous sheet-like carapace over-lying the coarser porphyritic granites. A fourth phase, consisting predominantly of potassic migmatites and gneisses, occurs in the areas rimming the batholiths and represents the product of interaction between the batholith magmas and components of the pre-existing crust in the region. Geochemically, the Heerenveen batholith has trondhjemitic affinities whereas the Mpuluzi batholith consists predominantly of potassic granites. Together with the Nelspruit batholith north of the Barberton greenstone belt the three granitic bodies show a progression in actual values of K 2 O, Na 2 O, Rb, and Sr with the Nelspruit body having chemical characteristics intermediate between the two

Granite and syenite plutons with alkaline affinities ranging in age from 550 to 750 Ma sporadically puncture the Precambrian granulites of the Kerala region. All the bodies are small (20 to 60 sq km), E-W to NW-SE elongated elliptical intrusives with sharp contacts and lie on or close to major late Proterozoic lineaments. Geochemical plots of A-F-M and An-Ab-Or relations show an apparent alkali enrichment trend on the former, but the plutons define relatively distinct fields on the latter. Most of the plutons are adamellitic to granitic by chemistry. The variations of SiO2 with log sub 10 K2O/MgO (1) brings out the distinct alkaline nature of the plutons. Some of the granites are extremely potassic, like the Peralimala pluton, which shows up to 11.8 percent K2O. On a SiO2-Al2O3-Na2O+K2O (mol percent) plot, the plutons vary from peraluminous to peralkaline, but none are nepheline normative. Low MgO, low to moderate CaO and high Fe2O3/FeO values are other common characteristics. Among trace elements, depletion of Ba, Sr and Rb with high K/Ba and K/Rb values are typical. Overall, the plutons show a trend of decreasing K/Rb ratio with increasing K content. Individual plutons show more clearly defined trends similar to those from granitic masses characterized by plagioclase fractionation.

Petrographic and structural observations on the calc-alkalic plutonism of western Corsica revealed the existence of several successively emplaced units associated with large basic bodies. The present mineralogical and geochemical study deals with the genesis, evolution and relationships of these different units. Basic plutonism is represented by three genetically linked types of rock: norites and troctolites with cumulate textures characterized by low REE contents and either no Eu anomaly or a positive Eu anomaly; gabbros with enriched LREE relatively to HREE patterns, probably close to an initial basaltic liquid; and diorites ranging up to charnockites which represent liquids evolved to varying degrees, mainly by fractional crystallization. Trace element data and studies on the evolution of pyroxene pairs demonstrate the consanguinity of these calc-alkaline basic rocks which are derived from a high alumina basaltic melt. The various granitoids (granodiorites, monzogranites and leucocratic monzogranites, i.e., adamellites) have distinct evolution trends as shown by the composition of their mafic minerals and by trace element distributions. They cannot be considered as being derivatives of the basic suite and they cannot be related by a common fractionation sequence. Rather, they represent distinctive batches of crustal anatexis. In addition, hybridization phenomena with the basic melt are noticed in granodiorites. The particular problem of the low La/Yb, Eu/Eu∗ and the high U, Th, Cs leucocratic monzogranites is discussed in detail. In addition to more conventional trace element diagrams, the simultaneous statistical treatment of all the geochemical data by correspondence factor analysis is shown to be a very use tool in distinguishing between the different units and to classify the elements according to their geochemical properties.

The ductile shear zone in Xingcheng-Taili area (western Liaoning Province in China) is tectonically located in the eastern section of the northern margin of the North China craton, and dominantly comprises deformed granitic rocks of Neoarchean and Triassic to Late Jurassic age, which were affected by shearing within middle- to low-grade metamorphic conditions. Because a high-temperature metamorphic overprint is lacking, microstructures attesting to low-temperature ductile deformation are well preserved. However, the rocks and its structures have not been previously analyzed in detail except by U-Pb zircon dating and some geochemistry. Here, we describe the deformation characteristics and tectonic evolution of the Xingcheng-Taili ductile shear zone, in order to understand the mode of lithosphericscale reactivation, extension and thinning of the North China craton. The ductile deformation history comprises four successive deformation phases: (1) In the Neoarchean granitic rocks, a steep gneissosity and banded structures trend nearly E-W (D1). (2) A NE-striking sinistral structure of Upper Triassic rocks may indicate a deformation event (D2) in Late Triassic times, which ductile deformation structures superimposed on Neoarchean granitic rocks. (3) A gneissose structure with S-C fabrics as well as an ENE-trending sinistral strike-slip characteristic (D3) developed in Upper Jurassic biotite adamellite and show the deformation characteristics of a shallow crustal level and generated mylonitic fabrics superimposed on previous structures. (4) Late granitic dykes show different deformational behavior, and shortening with D4 folds. The attitude of the foliation S and mineral stretching lineation of three main types of rocks shows remarkable differences in orientation. The shapes of recrystallized quartz grains from three main types of granitic rocks with their jagged and indented boundaries were natural records of deformation conditions (D1to D3).

Dashui large gold deposit is located in the south of western Qinling Moutains between Qinling orogenic zone and Songpan-Ganzi orogenic zone. It was controlled by NWW-trending fault zone. The host rocks of the gold mineralization is mainly Triassic altered limestone and adamellite dikes. The σ 34 S values of pyrite range from -1.8 to +4.5 per mil with a mean of 2.40‰, reflecting a deep source of sulfur. Oxygen isotope data of calcite in ores indicates that calcite has σ 18 O values ranging from -22.4 to -11.1 per mil The calculated σ 18 O water values of calcite range from -4.32 to +8.33 per mil and the σD values range from -61.1 to -101 per mil, σD and σ 18 O water values suggesting that the ore fluids were mainly derived from magma in the early stage of mineralization. However, the values in the late mineralization stage decrease, indicating mixing of meteoric waters at the time of the mineralization. Homogenization temperatures of fluid inclusions are relatively low, falling between 100 and 400℃ and mostly between 150 and 200℃, with a peak value of 175℃. Salinities exhibit a wide range from 2.70 to 9.10 wt.% NaCl equiv , with a mean of 4.88 wt.% NaCl equiv In addition, the early gold mineralization occurred from 196 Ma to 182.8 Ma, and late gold mineralization took place range from 72.15 Ma to 41.21 Ma, based on the Rb-Sr isochron dating of inclusions from calcite in ores, it means that the Dashui gold deposit at least has twice gold mineralization.

This work is a contribution to a better knowledge of Precambrian formations of Odienne region (Côte d’Ivoire), through their petrography and geochemistry. Those formations may be divided into two main groups: - first the metamorphic rocks constituted of Liberian rock relics, volcanic and volcano-sedimentary complex of Birimian age, ortho-gneiss and amphibolites considered either as Ante-Eburnean or early from the Eburnean cycle; - second, the plutonic rocks which are mainly made of granitoids. The discovery of aluminous gneiss of granulite facies within the Liberian formations, petrographically and chemically similar to those described in the Man region, and the presence of magnetite containing quartzites, are evidences of the existence of Liberian basement in the Odienne region. All the features of the Odienne Eburnean volcanism, as shown by the study made on the volcanic and volcano-sedimentary complex, allow us to connect it to the calco-alkaline series. In the present case, a formation model related to the big cutting accidents seems to fit best. As for the granitoids, they show: • a cataclais characterized by mineral torsions or breakages, a frequent mineral lineation, and an ondulating extinction; these are evidences of a syncinematic set-up; • a high content of Na_2O that seems to be expressed by a very important plagioclasic charge; • an evolution wholly silico-potassic in nature; all the samples studied vary from a quartzic-diorite pole to a granitic pole, with the majority of the compositions found in the granodiorite and adamellite domains ; the magma which generated those granitoids is of the calco-alkaline type; • relatively low average uranium and thorium contents; most of the radioactivity of those rocks is concentrated in the biotite or in the accessory minerals (generally in the form of inclusions in the biotite).

Mesozoic granitoids are widespread in southeastern China, which accompanied with lots of world-famous polymetallic deposits. The mineralization is believed to be related to the Mesozoic granitic magmatism. However, the petrogenesis of these granites and their relation to the mineralization are still debated. As a typical granitic pluton, Xitian granites from the eastern Hunan Province are formed during this period and associated with tungsten-tin deposit. Whole-rock geochemical, SIMS zircon geochronology and oxygen isotopes, as well as LA-ICPMS zircon Lu-Hf isotopic analyses, were carried out on a suite of rocks from Xitian granitic pluton to constrain their magmatic sources and petrogenesis. Xitian granitic pluton is mainly composed of biotite adamellite, biotite granite, fine-grained granite. SIMS and LA-ICPMS U-Pb dating of zircons indicate that there are two episodes of these rocks, i.e., Late Triassic granites (227-233Ma) and Late Jurassic granites (150-154Ma). The Xitian granites are silica-rich, potassic and weakly peraluminous. Petrographic and geochemical features show that they are highly fractionated I-type granites. The combined elemental and isotopic results indicated that the Late Triassic granite in Xitian area experienced a process of crystal fractionation of crustal-derived magmas coupled with strong assimilation of the surrounding rocks. The occurrence of Jurassic granitoids in Xitian area is attributed to ascending of mantle-derived magmas, which provide heat for partial melting of crustal materials. The Late Jurassic granite may be derived from juvenile crust or partial melting of ancient crustal rocks, whereas high degrees of crystal fractionation further enriched tungsten-tin in the evolved granitic rocks.

Full Text Available Three weathering profiles of granitic rocks and two arkoses in the NW of Madrid Province have been studied. Rocks are granodiorites and adamellites with albites showing variable degrees of sericitization, and no-weathered potassic feldspars. Clay fraction in the weathered horizons from these rocks displays high content in beidellite, and minor amounts of illite and 7 Ǻ-halloysite. On the other hand, beidellite, illite and well crystallized kaolinite are clay minerals in the arkosic rocks. Microfabric characteristics from SEM studies show abundant weathered albites with clean surfaces and formation of beidellite in all areas of the samples. Moreover, spatial relations between albite and beidellite are not observed. In pedochemical weathering of albite, sodium from this mineral should be exchanged with protons from soil solution with very quick kinetics. This initial alkalinization produces an increase in the silica solubility released from albite network. In these environments, a continued contact between weathering solution and albite causes a silica and alumina enrichment and beidellite or 7 Ǻ-halloysite precipitation. Microclimatic variations in weathering environment may cause fluctuations in silica and alumina activities with resultant pH changes. So, when silica activities are high, beidellite neoformation is favoured; on the contrary, 7 Ǻ-halloysite is precipitated.Se han estudiado tres perfiles de alteración de rocas graníticas y dos muestras de arcosas en la zona NO de la provincia de Madrid. Las rocas, clasificadas como granodioritas y adamellitas, presentan albitas con sericitización variable, y escasos feldespatos potásicos muy poco alterados. La fracción arcilla de los horizontes de alteración de estas rocas presenta un alto contenido en beidellita, así como porcentajes menores de ilita y haloisita-7Ǻ. Por otra parte, los minerales de la arcilla presentes en las arcosas son ilita, beidellita y caolinita bien
