Thermal Overprint

Two types of hydrothermal veins were found in the Ordovician claystones of the Bohdalec Formation (Barrandian, Prague Basin) during the excavation of tunnel of subway Line D at Prague-Pankrác site. The first type is represented by short hair-thin veinlets of various directions fulfilled by dickite. The second type comprises thicker NNW - SSE trending veins with prevailing quartz, which cut the host rocks across the whole width of the gallery. In addition to quartz, they contain also dickite, chlorite (thuringite-chamosite), carbonates of dolomite-ankerite series (Dol37.5-44.0Ank42.0-46.8Ktn10.9-16.1), calcite, fluorapatite, pyrite (with up to 0.5 wt. % Mn), galena (with ~0.6 wt. % Se) and sphalerite (with ~1 wt. % Fe and up to 0.35 wt. % Sn and 0.36 wt. % Cu). Except for calcite, which forms younger veinlets in older quartz fill, all other mentioned minerals form minute inclusions enclosed in quartz, which are arranged parallel with outer margin of the vein. Based on mineral assemblage and chemical composition of individual minerals, highly variable crystallization temperatures (<100 - 350 °C) can be interpreted in various mineralogically distinct domains of the quartz vein. We assume a polyphase, episodic origin of individual domains of the vein fill, close to the crack-seal mechanism, which was bound to successive evolution of the adjacent fault structure. The maximum formation temperatures exceeding by a value of ca. 100 °C the highest reported temperatures of Variscan thermal overprint of Lower Paleozoic rocks of the Prague Basin are explained by production of friction heat in the fault structure. It is probable that part of parent fluids originated from sedimentary iron ores occurring in the host Ordovician sedimentary sequence.

Primary Gold

Primary gold mineralization occurring in the Lungri Khola region is observed in the Pre­ Cambrian green schist facies and Lower Paleozoic micaceous marble and limestone. The Pre-Cambrian green schist facies comprising mainly of sericite and chloritic quartzite, chlorite schist, quartz-chlorite schist, chlorite phyllite and schistose pebble beds include a discontinuous auriferous zone which persists laterally for about 30 km extension from the Gajul khola in the west to the upper reaches of Gam khola in the east. The auriferous host rocks are found confined close to the contact with the overlying Lower Paleozoic carbonates. Eight distinct auriferous hosts are encountered in the Pre-Cambrian green schists facies. Occurrence of auriferous host in the Lower Paleozoic limestone and marble is rather irregular and insignificant So far minor quartz-carbonate veins have indicated the presence of gold. Finely disseminated gold with minor amount of pyrite, chalcopyrite and rarely arsenopyrite occurs in the above hosts. Visible gold ranging from 0.08 to 2 mm dimension has been recovered. Gold content of upto 6.7 gm/ton has been recorded but in general they show 0.1 gm/ton gold which is significantly 30 to 60 times higher in magnitude than the background value. Depending upon the type of the hosts, three possible models, namely (1) volcanogenic (2) hydrothermal and (3) syn-sedimentary, could be suggested for the origin of the primary gold mineralization which has later undergone remobilisation after the initial deposition.

North-northeast of the village of Ilinden (Southern Pirin Mnt.) three eclogite boudins were separated on the geological map in scale 1:50 000 (Sarov, 2010). The rocks belong to the Slasten lithotectonic unit. The mineral assemblage and mineral chemistry do not allow these rocks to be classified as eclogites. They can be considered as eclogite-like ones, formed by postmagmatic-metasomatic alteration of the host rocks. Based on LA-ICP-MS sphene U-Pb dating, eclogite-like rocks yield a Late Jurassic age (160±19 Ma).

Rifted Margin

This article provides stratigraphic and geochronological data from a central part of Gondwana’s northern margin — the Moroccan Meseta Domain. This region, located to the north of the Anti-Atlas area with extensive outcrops of Precambrian and lower Paleozoic rocks, has hitherto not received much attention with regard to its Precambrian geology. Detrital and volcanic zircon ages have been used to constrain sedimentary depositional ages and crustal affinities of sedimentary source rocks in stratigraphic key sections. Based on this, a four-step paleotectonic evolution of the Meseta Domain from the Ediacaran until the Early Ordovician is proposed. This evolution documents the transition from a terrestrial volcanic setting during the Ediacaran to a short-lived carbonate platform setting during the early Cambrian. The latter then evolved into a rifted margin with deposition of thick siliciclastic successions in graben structures during the middle to late Cambrian. The detritus in these basins was of local origin, and a contribution from a broader source area (encompassing parts of the West African Craton) can only be demonstrated for postrifting, i.e., laterally extensive sandstone bodies that seal the former graben. In a broader paleotectonic context, it is suggested that this Cambrian rifting is linked to the opening of the Rheic Ocean, and that several peri-Gondwanan terranes (Meguma and Cadomia–Iberia) may have been close to the Meseta Domain before drifting, albeit some of them seem to have been constituted by a distinctly different basement.

ABSTRACTThe effects of key geochemical parameters on Kd values for radionuclides in the host rock (pumice, sandstone) of a LLW repository were elucidated through a sensitivity analysis, using a thermodynamic speciation/sorption model for the elements Sr and Ni. The complex mineral assemblage of the rock was approximated by a component-additivity approach. Using published ion exchange and surface complexation parameters, Kd for both Sr and Ni could be well explained by the same model mineralogy and surface chemistry. Model results suggest that pCO2 can have a significant effect on Kd, and that a correct approximation of groundwater chemistry is a critical component of sorption modeling.

AbstractThis report documents the last pteraspids, (armored, jawless members of the Heterostraci), which are otherwise only known from the Early Devonian of the Old Red Sandstone Continent. Tuberculate pteraspid heterostracans are described from the Middle Devonian beds of two formations in western North America. The late Givetian Yahatinda Formation of Alberta and British Columbia consists of channels cut into lower Paleozoic rocks and represents deposition in marine to littoral environments. Clavulaspis finis (Elliott et al., 2000a) new combination is redescribed from additional material from the Yahatinda Formation and reassigned to the new genus Clavulaspis because the original genus name is invalid. The Eifelian Spring Mountain beds of Idaho consist of a large channel that represents a clastic-dominated estuarine environment. It contains Scutellaspis wilsoni new genus new species, and the previously described species from the Spring Mountain beds is redescribed and reassigned to Ecphymaspis new genus, which was prompted by new material and a review of the validity of the original genus name. Phylogenetic analysis shows that these three new taxa form part of the derived clade Protaspididae.UUID: http://zoobank.org/9cf09b21-cec1-4ce4-bc2b-658d0b515e10
