Tourmaline occurs in a wide range of compositional environments, but its occurrence in meta-evaporites is less commonly investigated. Highly magnesian ( X Mg = 0.90–0.98), poikiloblastic tourmaline occurs in a sulfate-rich, anhydrite– gypsum-bearing meta-evaporite in the Arignac Gypsum Mine, France and preserves a petrologic record of this unusual geochemical environment. Originally a Triassic evaporite deposit, the sample is interpreted to have undergone high-temperature–low-pressure (HT–LP) metamorphism and subsequently experienced low-grade, highly deformed overprints. Poikiloblastic tourmaline preserves relicts of the HT–LP mineral assemblage, as inclusions of anhydrite, phlogopite, dolomite, tremolite, Cl-rich scapolite (71–85 % marialite component), rutile, zircon, and fluor-apatite. The low-grade deformational overprints are characterized by partial replacement of anhydrite by gypsum, phlogopite by clinochlore, dolomite by talc, and scapolite by mixtures of near end-member albite and K-feldspar with later crosscutting calcite and celestite. Tourmaline develops two textural zones – zone 1 with few mineral inclusions and zone 2 with abundant inclusions and/or complex chemical zoning. The tourmaline

A seismic reflection profile was realized in the eastern part of the Bohemian Cretaceous Basin in the years 2013–2015. Seismic research was supported by a detailed gravity and geoelectric survey. The profile crossed three significant hydrogeological structures or districts: Vysoké Mýto, Ústí and Kyšperk synclines. Interpretation of geophysical data enabled a determination of the Cretaceous sediments with a thickness of up to 250 m and Permian sediments even with a thickness of 2000 m. The seismic reflectors and gravity effect, together with the boreholes and geological mapping, were used to compile the uncovered geological map.

The Plio–Quaternary post-collisional volcanism in the Karapınar area is represented by two occurrences: (1) Karacadağ Volcanic Complex (KCVC) and (2) Karapınar Volcanic Field (KPVF). The investigated volcanic units are the southwes - tern part of the Neogene to Quaternary Cappadocia Volcanic Province (CVP) in Central Anatolia. The CVP generally displays calc–alkaline affinity in the Late Miocene to Pliocene rocks, but both calc-alkaline and sodic alkaline affinity in the Plio–Quaternary rocks, all of which have an orogenic geochemical signature. Such a volcanic activity contradicts the Western and Eastern Anatolian volcanism characterized by anorogenic OIB-like sodic alkaline volcanic rocks postdating early orogenic calc–alkaline ones. We hypothesize that such temporal and geochemical variations in the investigated rocks result from crustal contamination and present major and trace element chemistry and Sr–Nd–Pb–O isotope geochemistry, coupled with 40 Ar/ 39 Ar geochronology data to restrict the genesis and evolution of the rocks. The Neogene Karacadağ volcanic rocks are represented by lava flows, domes and their pyroclastic equivalents constituting a stratovolcano, and dated by new 40 Ar/ 39 Ar ages of 5.65 to 5.43 Ma. They are mainly composed of andesitic, rarely basaltic, dacitic and trachytic rocks and have a calc–alkaline character. Constituting a monogenetic volcanic field, the Quaternary Karapınar volcanic rocks are typically formed by cinder cones, maars and associated lavas, including xenoliths and xenocrysts plucked from the Karacadağ rocks. They comprise basaltic to andesitic rocks with a transitional affinity, from sodic alkaline to calc–alkaline. Both the Karacadağ and Karapınar volcanic rocks display incompatible trace element patterns rather characteristic for orogenic volcanic rocks. The Sr, Nd and Pb isotopic systematics of both units show a relatively narrow range, but their δ 18 O values are markedly different. The Karacadag volcanic rocks have δ 18 O values ranging from 7.5 to 8.9 ‰, resembling those of subduction-related basalts, but the Karapınar volcanics have δ 18 O ratios between 5.7 and 6.5 ‰ corresponding to OIB-like rocks. Additionally, δ 18 O values and 87 Sr/ 86 Sr ratios correlate positively with SiO 2 in the rocks, indicating that contamination played an important role during differentiation processes. All the data obtained suggest that the Karacadağ basaltic rocks stemmed from a subduction-modified lithospheric mantle source. On the other hand, the origin of the Karapınar basaltic rocks can be explained in terms of OIB-like melts contaminated with the Karacadağ volcanic rocks to gain orogenic geochemical signature, which may be an alternative model for the origin of the CVP sodic alkali basalts.

Titanium contents of both vein and magmatic quartz from five Bohemian gold deposits with known P–T history were used to calculate/discuss the titanium oxide activities (a TiO 2 ) of natural quartz formed in the absence of Ti-buffering phases at 250–550 °C and 0.1–4 kbar. Data suggest significant variations in a TiO 2 during vein quartz formation, due to variation of P, T and growth rate. Negative correlation between a TiO 2 and quartz formation temperature was documented for intrusion-related gold deposits, implying quartz precipitation under closed-system conditions (i.e., without substantial equilibration of the ascending fluid with surrounding rocks). We propose a relationship for quantifying disequilibrium quartz formation that can be readily applied to quartz with known P–T history. The relationship was tested on natural samples exhibiting both rapid and slow

Pokhodyashinite CuTlSb 2 (Sb 1– x Tl x )AsS 7– x , is a new sulfosalt from the Vorontsovskoe gold deposit, Sverdlovsk Oblast’, Northern Urals, Russia. It forms anhedral grains up to 0.1 × 0.05 mm in size in calcite and is associated with major orpi-ment, pyrite, realgar and minor baryte, clinochlore, As-bearing fluorapatite, harmotome, prehnite, native gold and a rich spectrum of sulfosalts. Pokhodyashinite is black, opaque, and has a metallic luster and a black streak. It is brittle, with an uneven fracture and poor cleavage on {100}. The Vickers hardness (VHN, 20 g load) is 55 kg/mm 2 , corresponding to a Mohs hardness of 2. The calculated density is 5.169 g/cm 3 . In reflected light, pokhodyashinite is grayish-white, bireflectance is distinct. In crossed polars, it is strongly anisotropic; rotation tints vary from dark brownish gray to light bluish-gray. No internal reflections are observed. The reflectance values for wavelengths recommended by the Commission on Ore Mineralogy of the IMA are ( R min / R max , %): 28.9/34.6 (470 nm), 27.6/33.4 (546 nm), 26.7/32.4 (589 nm), 26.1/31.1 (650 nm).

Phase relations in the Hg–Pd–Te system were studied at 350 °C using the silica glass tube method. The following binary phases were confirmed to be stable at 350 °C: PdHg (potarite), HgTe (coloradoite), Pd13Te3, Pd20Te7 (keithconnite), Pd7Te3, Pd9Te4 (telluropalladinite), Pd3Te2, PdTe (kotulskite), and PdTe2 (merenskyite). Kotulskite (PdTe) dissolves up to 8 at. % Hg at 350 °C. Other palladium tellurides do not dissolve Hg. Two ternary phases were proved to be stable in the system at 350 °C: Pd3HgTe3 (temagamite) and a new phase Pd4HgTe3. The Pd4HgTe3 phase is orthorhombic, Pnma space group with unit-cell parameters a = 13.1520(2), b = 11.6879(2), c = 4.25758(5) Å, V = 654.480(5) Å3 and Z = 4. The Pd4HgTe3 phase can be viewed as a ternary ordered variant of the Hg-bearing kotulskite. Synthetic temagamite forms stable assemblages with several phases representing minerals merenskyite and coloradoite, coloradoite and potarite, merenskyite and kotulskite, phase Pd4HgTe3 and kotulskite s.s., and phase Pd4HgTe3 and potarite. The occurrence of temagamite and its associations indicate the formation of mineralization below 570 °C. The new phase Pd4HgTe3 forms stable associations with synthetic analogs of temagamite and potarite, potarite and telluropalladinite, telluropalladinite and kotulskite s.s., temagamite and kotulskite s.s. The phase Pd4HgTe3 can be expected to be found in such associations under natural conditions.
