The origin of fluorite-barite mineralization at the interface between the Paris Basin and its Variscan basement: insights from fluid inclusion chemistry and isotopic (O, H, Cl) composition
We provide new constraints for the fluid flow system at the origin of two F-Ba deposits located at the unconformity between the south of the Paris Basin and the northern edge of the French Massif Central. We used microthermometry and bulk crush-leach analyses to determine isotope ratios of mineralizing fluids (δ18O, δD, δ37Cl), together with cation and anion composition of fluid inclusions hosted by fluorite. Chlorinity and Cl/Br molar ratios (212–521) indicate the involvement of a brine, whose origin likely corresponds to Triassic evaporated seawater compatible with supratidal dolomitic facies preserved nearby. Microthermometry reveals high Ca/Na ratios, suggesting that the brine composition evolved from hydrothermal alteration of the Variscan basement and partial dissolution and replacement of the host sedimentary rocks. δ37Cl values are lower than the expected value of evaporated seawater, suggesting Cl isotope fractionation by ion filtration in clay-rich horizons. Fluorite crystallized at minimum temperatures of 70 to 110 °C, 10–40 °C warmer than the host Triassic sedimentary rocks. Ascending brines were expelled during the Early Cretaceous and experienced a drop in pressure and temperature, together with possible mixing with the SO4-rich pore water of the sedimentary rocks, causing precipitation of silica, followed by fluorite and barite, forming a stratabound deposit similar to those found in many areas in Western Europe.
期刊介绍:
The journal Mineralium Deposita introduces new observations, principles, and interpretations from the field of economic geology, including nonmetallic mineral deposits, experimental and applied geochemistry, with emphasis on mineral deposits. It offers short and comprehensive articles, review papers, brief original papers, scientific discussions and news, as well as reports on meetings of importance to mineral research. The emphasis is on high-quality content and form for all articles and on international coverage of subject matter.
