The dolostone reservoir of the Middle Permian Maokou Formation in Eastern Sichuan has good prospects for oil and gas exploration. Study of dolomitizing genesis of the Maokou Formation is essential for predicting the distribution of the dolostone reservoir. Petrography, in situ geochemistry, Sr-Mg isotopes, and fluid inclusions were carried out on samples from the Maokou Formation in Eastern Sichuan in order to discuss the dolomitizing process. Based on mineral and textural characteristics, dolomites were divided into four components: partially clouded dolomite (PCD), mosaic-like dolomite (MLD), cloudy-centered and clear-rimmed dolomite (CACD), and saddle dolomite (SDD). Results indicate that the Maokou Formation in Eastern Sichuan mainly experienced two stages of dolomitization. PCD, MLD, and cloudy-centered dolomite (CCD) were formed during the early dolomitization. They all show turbid crystal planes and bright orange-red CL and have similar trace element contents, 87Sr/86Sr ratios, and rare-earth patterns, indicating that they might be formed in the same fluid. This is a period when dolomitizing fluids mainly migrated along pores or microcracks and replaced protogenetic calcites, which occurred in the shallow burial stage of the Maokou Formation before the Late Permian. Clear-rimmed dolomite (CRD) and SDD were formed in the late stage of dolomitization. They all have clean crystal planes and darkly red CL. CRD of the ERY profile has trace element contents, 87Sr/86Sr ratios, and rare-earth patterns similar to SDD of the HLCH profile and Well TL6, inferring that both may be formed in the same fluid. Combined with high SrO contents and homogenous temperatures of fluid inclusions of CRD and SDD and Mg-isotopic compositions, they were generated by hydrothermal dolomitization. The hydrothermal fluid stage is related to the movement of the Emeishan Large Igneous Province, which was made up of basaltic magmatic fluids mixing with the surface water. The hydrothermal fluid mainly migrated upwards along structural fractures or faults and filled in structural fractures, occurring in the Late Permian to Middle-Late Triassic.

O Stock Nefelina-Sienítico Rio Pardo se localiza na porção sul do conjunto de intrusões alcalinas que constitui a Província Alcalina do Sul do Estado da Bahia. Esse corpo aflora numa área de 46 km2, sendo constituído por sienito, sienito com nefelina, nefelina sienito e sodalita sienito. A idade Pb-Pb obtida em monocristal de zircão para esse stock foi de 725 ± 2 Ma, a qual se insere no intervalo de idades para o magmatismo da parte sul dessa província alcalina (732 Ma a 720 Ma). Os dados litoquímicos obtidos para esse stock o posicionam na suíte alcalina subsaturada em SiO2 da Província Alcalina do Sul do Estado da Bahia. Os conteúdos de elementos traços asseguram sua afinidade anorogênica. Sua evolução, controlada por cristalização fracionada, se marca por acentuado enriquecimento em Na2O (até 15%) e Al2O3 (até 25%) e marcantes decréscimos em SiO2 (63% a 45%) e Elementos Terras Raras.Palavras-chave: nefelina sienito, idade Pb-Pb, Rio Pardo, BahiaABSTRACT: THE RIO PARDO NEPHELINE-SYENITIC STOCK, SOUTH BAHIA ALKALINE PROVINCE. The Rio Pardo nepheline-syenitic intrusion is located in the southern sector of the South Bahia Alkaline Province. It crops out over an area of 46 km2 and consists of syenite, nepheline-bearing syenite, nepheline syenite and blue-sodalite syenite. The Pb-Pb single-zircon evaporation age of 725 ± 2 Ma obtained for the Rio Pardo stock is in agreement with the age range (732 Ma to 720 Ma) for the southern part of province. Lithochemical data provide evidence to consider the Rio Pardo stock as a body of the SiO2 sub-saturated alkaline suite of the South Bahia Alkaline Province. Trace element contents indicate anorogenic afinity and the stock evolution, controlled by a fractional crystallization process, resulted in an outstanding enrichment of Na2O (up to 15%) and Al2O3 (up to 25%), and an important depletion of SiO2 (63% to 45%) and Rare Earth Elements.Keywords: nepheline syenite, Pb-Pb age, Rio Pardo, Bahia State.,

The Tuwu porphyry copper deposit is located on the Dananhu-Haerlik island arc in eastern Tianshan, NW China. Based on geology, petrology, and in situ trace element studies of pyrite and chlorite, we redefined the characteristics of hydrothermal fluids and the following three mineralization stages: premineralization stage (stage Ⅰ), porphyry metallogenic stage (stage Ⅱ), and superimposed transformation stage (stage Ⅲ). Pyrite stage Ⅰ (Py-I) has the highest Co/Ni ratios, and the precipitation crystallization of chlorite (Chl-I2) has the similar rare earth element distribution patterns with those of volcanic rocks Carboniferous Qieshan (CQ), indicating intense volcanic hydrothermal activity. The Co/Ni ratios of Py-II1 and Py-II2 (stage Ⅱ) tend to decrease over time. Moreover, the rare earth element (REE) distribution patterns of Chl-II have similar LREE enrichment, and the Eu anomalies in Chl-II1, Chl-II2, and Chl-II3 range from positive to negative. The initial ore-forming fluid was mainly magmatic hydrothermal fluid, and with the late-stage addition of meteoric water and continuous sulfide precipitation, the trace element composition of the fluid changed, and the whole system became more oxidizing. Py-III (stage Ⅲ) has the lowest Co/Ni ratios, and the REE distribution pattern of Chl-III is characterized by LREE enrichment. Moreover, the Chl-III shows obvious shear deformation characteristics. The results indicate that the host rocks experienced intensely superimposed reformation. By combining and integrating our results with the regional evolution processes in the eastern Tianshan, we propose that the Tuwu porphyry deposit has undergone magmatic hydrothermal and metamorphic hydrothermal processes. Volcanism (stage Ⅰ) provided the space and initial conditions for the emplacement of the metallogenic body. With the emplacement of the plagiogranite porphyry (stage Ⅱ), the main copper mineralization occurred in the porphyry and surrounding rocks. After porphyry mineralization (stage Ⅲ), regional ductile shearing and collisional compression led to a copper reaction, and its accumulation along the faults formed an ore shoot.

Twenty-one samples of hematitite and twelve samples of itabirite were collected from different deposits of the Quadrilátero Ferrífero (QF) area and were analyzed for trace and rare earth elements. The purpose of the study is to understand the element distribution in the QF in comparison with other iron formations (IF) around the world. Trace element contents are relatively low with considerable variability, being lower than the contents in the Algoma IF, Anamikie IF, Maru IF in Nigeria and Orissa IF in India. REE's abundance is relatively low, but higher than REE's of Hamersley IF of Western Australia, Surgur belt in India and lower than Kuruman IF in South Africa. Chondrite normalized patterns show slight degrees of fractionation for LREE to HREE and slightly positive Eu anomalies coupled with positive values of (La/Yb)CN and (La/Sm)CN ratios.
