Discovery and Significance of Carbonate Mud Mounds from Cu-polymetallic Deposits in the Middle and Lower Yangtze Metallogenic Belt:Examples from the Wushan and Dongguashan Deposits
摘要
Abstract
Bedded sulfide orebodies occur in the Wushan and Dongguashan Cu deposits in the Middle and Lower Yangtze mineralization belt. In this study, we found a typical circular or laminated texture in the bedded sulfide ores. Based on microscopic observation of thin sections of the ore samples, carbon and oxygen isotopic analysis, and scanning electron microscope (SEM) observation, we suggested that this type of sulfide ores belongs to a mineralized kind of carbonate mud mound. The macroscopic structures of these sulfide ores are quite similar to those of cavities system of typical carbonate mud mounds, and there are also bacteria structures found in some of the ore samples with SEM analysis. Previous studies show that the carbonate mud mound generally develops in a slope setting with water depth deeper than platform. It is also shown that the occurrence of carbonate mud mound has a close relationship with sea-floor hydrothermal exhalative ore-forming processes. The conservation conditions of the carbonate mud mounds in the two copper deposits are different, in the Dongguashan Cu deposit a lot of primary exhalative sedimentary textures are preserved, bacteria structures are found, and the carbon-oxygen isotopic compositions show primary sedimentary characteristics, while those in the Wushan Cu deposit show hydrothermal altered/overprinted textures, and no bacteria structures have been found so far, the carbon-oxygen isotopic compositions also indicate a hydrothermal reworking. In summary, the discoveries of carbonate mud mounds structure sulfide ores in the Wushan and Dongguashan Cu deposits provide new evidence for the Hercynian sedimentary hydrothermal-exhalative mineralization in the Middle and Lower Yangtze metallogenic belt.关键词
