RESULTS OF ISOTOPIC STUDY OF EPITHERMAL FLUORITE DEPOSITS OF WESTERN TRANSBAIKALIA (SOURCES OF MATTER AND FLUIDS)

Abstract

The purpose of the publication is to estimate the fluid sources of the epithermal fluorite deposits of the Western Transbaikalia by analyzing the isotope composition of oxygen, carbon, hydrogen and sulfur. Methods. The isotopic compositions of oxygen in silicates as well as carbon in carbonates are determined by V.F. Posokhov in the Geological Institute SB RAS. Results. The isotopic composition of oxygen in quartz is characterized by low δ18O (-3.4 - + 2.6 ‰). Pyritic sulfer of these deposits is also enriched by the light isotope δ34S (from -1.8 to -7.7 ‰ δ34S). The value of δ34S varies from +0.4 to -9.7 ‰ and is -3.75 on the average for seven fields. Conclusions. The isotope studies indicate a deep source of sulfur, which underwent changes in the process of its rise from the magma pocket to the upper horizons. The composition of the fluid is indicative of the participation of water from the meteor source caused by recycling processes under the influence of shallow underlying basite pluton.
