The paper presents the detailed mineralogical and petrographic study of spinel-bearing marbles at the Luc Yen deposit, North Vietnam. The LA-ICP-MS analysis of 74 spinel grains, combined with mineralogical data, allows us to discriminate them into fve types according to mineral assemblages and trace element geochemistry. Forty seven minerals are identifed as inclusions in spinel grains and 38 minerals are described at Luc Yen deposit for the frst time including leonardsenite, tintisite, manasseite, chalcoalumite, cobaltite and spherocobaltite. The mineral assemblages, trace element pattern, and specifc mineral inclusions indicate the involvement of hydrothermal fuids related to magma intrusions in the formation of, at least, two of fve spinel types at the deposit.

The trace element (TS) composition of isocubanite, chalcopyrite, pyrite, bornite, and covellite from oxidized Cu-rich massive sulfides of the Ashadze-2 hydrothermal field (12°58′ N, Mid-Atlantic Ridge) is studied using LA-ICP-MS. The understanding of TE behavior, which depends on the formation conditions and the mode of TE occurrence, in sulfides is important, since they are potential sources for byproduct TEs. Isocubanite has the highest Co contents). Chalcopyrite concentrates most Au. Bornite has the highest amounts of Se, Sn, and Te. Crystalline pyrite is a main carrier of Mn. Covellite after isocubanite is a host to the highest Sr, Ag, and Bi contents. Covellite after pyrite accumulates V, Ga and In. The isocubanite+chalcopyrite aggregates in altered gabrro contain the highest amounts of Ni, Zn, As, Mo, Cd, Sb (166 ppm), Tl, and Pb. The trace element geochemistry of sulfides is mainly controlled by local formation conditions. Submarine oxidation results in the formation of covellite and its enrichment in most trace elements relative to primary sulfides. This is a result of incorporation of seawater-derived elements and seawater-affected dissolution of accessory minerals (native gold, galena and clausthalite).

Sulfides in upper mantle lherzolite xenoliths from Cretaceous alkaline-ultramafic rocks in the Jetty Peninsula (East Antarctica) were studied for their major and trace-element compositions using SEM and LA-ICP-MS applied in situ. Modal abundance of sulfides is the lowest in Cpx-poor lherzolites ≤ Spl-Grt lherzolites << Cpx-rich lherzolites. Most sulfides are either interstitial (i-type) or inclusions in rock-forming minerals (e-type) with minor sulfide phases mostly present in metasomatic veinlets and carbonate-silicate interstitial patches (m-type). The main sulfide assemblage is pentlandite + chalcopyrite ± pyrrhotite; minor sulfides are polydymite, millerite, violarite, siegenite, and monosulfide solution (mss). Sulfide assemblages in the xenolith matrix are a product of the subsolidus re-equilibration of primary mss at temperatures below ≤300 °C. Platinum group elements (PGE) abundances suggest that most e-type sulfides are the residues of melting processes and that the i-type sulfides are crystallization products of sulfide-bearing fluids/liquids. The m-type sulfides might have resulted from low-temperature metasomatism by percolating sulfide-carbonate-silicate fluids/melts. The PGE in sulfide record processes are related to partial melting in mantle and intramantle melt migration. Most other trace elements initially partitioned into interstitial sulfide liquid and later metasomatically re-enriched residual sulfides overprinting their primary signatures. The extent of element partitioning into sulfide liquids depends on P, T, fO2, and host peridotite composition.
