Salt production started during prehistoric times and is probably one of the oldest extraction activity. The formation conditions of salt (halite) and the various associated minerals, either through natural processes or anthropogenic methods, represent a point where archaeology, history and Earth sciences converge according to several lines: thermodynamic modelling of the evaporation process, shoreline evolution since Antiquity and mining industry with the consequent sociological impacts. |

Afin d’avancer dans la compréhension de la géodynamique des zones de suture varisque au stade tardif de la collision (en particulier au regard de l’évolution du système orogénique en contexte de HT), nous nous sommes intéressés à la mise en place des vaugnérites, roches basiques ultra-potassiques intrusives au sein des ensembles granito-gneissiques de la croûte varisque des Vosges. Ces roches, souvent associées aux ensembles granitiques tardi-collisionnels, sont de faible extension mais quasiment toujours présentes au sein de ces systèmes. Elles affleurent (1) dans les Vosges méridionales, en masses plutoniques marginales du Granite des Ballons et (2) dans les Vosges centrales (région de Plainfaing), en filons composites, intrusifs dans un complexe de migmatites et de roches métamorphiques appelées granite-gneiss. Les vaugnérites sont des roches mélanocrates à biotite et hornblende magnésiennes (20 à 40 % vol, 64 < mg# < 78), présentant des signatures géochimiques caractéristiques de roches ultra-potassiques mafiques à intermédiaires, métalumineuses à légèrement peralumineuses. L’âge U-Pb obtenu par ablation laser ICP-MS du zircon d’un gneiss à sillimanite du granite-gneiss encaissant des vaugnérites est de 451 ± 9 Ma, révélant un bâti pré-varisque à protolithe ordovicien supérieur. Les grains de zircon extraits de quatre vaugnérites donnent des âges U-Pb (± 2s) de 340 ± 2,5 Ma (Ballons), 340 ± 25 Ma, 340 ± 7 Ma et 336 ± 10 Ma (Vosges centrales). Les données de datation des vaugnérites, identiques aux incertitudes de mesure près, apparaissent donc cohérentes et révèlent un âge assez précoce dans l’histoire tardi-collisionnelle de la chaîne. Ces données, en accord avec les âges publiés préalablement sur ce secteur, montrent que les vaugnérites se mettent en place au Viséen moyen, au cours d’un événement magmatique majeur, exprimé tant dans les séries volcano-sédimentaires (Séries OderenMarkstein) que dans les granitoïdes ultra-potassiques des Vosges méridionales (Ballons) et centrales (Crêtes). Les études pétrologiques récentes sur les vaugnérites suggèrent qu’elles dérivent de la fusion partielle d’un manteau métasomatisé et contaminé à différents degrés par des éléments de croûte continentale fondue. Nous proposons ici que ce « pulse » magmatique ultra-potassique d’ampleur à 340– 335 Ma soit le signe une évolution majeure dans la dynamique de la subduction de la lithosphère rhénohercynienne sous les Vosges centrales et méridionales. Sur le modèle d’expériences thermomécaniques récentes simulant le déroulement d’une collision continentale mature, il pourrait traduire les premiers effets d’un phénomène de délamination lithosphérique syn-collisionelle impliquant (1) une subduction continentale relayée (2) par le sous-charriage d’une lame de croûte inférieure de la marge continentale avalonienne et (3) l’initiation de la délamination lithosphérique au sein du prisme orogénique supra-subduction qu’était le bloc continental saxothüringien-moldanubien. Ce processus conduirait à la mise en place d’un « upwelling » asthénosphérique, initialement localisé aux zones de suture varisque et se propageant au cours de la fin du Carbonifère vers le front sud de la chaîne à mesure de la propagation du front de délamination à la base de la croûte |

The fracture network consists of a classical pattern of transverse and longitudinal fractures related to Layer Parallel Shortening (LPS) and folding respectively. Veins filled equally about the third of fractures in the carbonate shelf and turbidites. Carbon and oxygen isotopes of calcite veins mostly indicate precipitation from isotopically buffered water, consistent with high water-rock interaction. In the Sierras Interiores, petrographical observations and fluid inclusion microthermometry are consistent with two distinct stages of precipitation. The first stage is characterized by relatively low Th and low salinities (155-205° C and 0.5-3.2 wt% eq. NaCl). The second stage, which was characterized both by the formation of mode-I joints and by mode-I reactivation of preexisting veins, shows higher Th and salinities (215-270°C and 2.2-5.7 wt% eq. NaCl). Waters recorded in the second stage are interpreted to have interacted with underlying Triassic evaporites and flowed along major thrusts before vein precipitation, which are locally in thermal disequilibrium with host-rocks. We suggest the transition from a rather closed hydrological system during the first stage of vein formation, interpreted to have occurred during Eaux-chaudes thrusting (upper Lutetian-Bartonian), to a more open hydrological system during the second stage, which likely occurred during Gavarnie thrusting (Priabonian-early Rupelian). Finally, we also document the migration in space and time of hydrothermal pulses along the South Pyrenean Foreland Basin, related to the westward propagation of major thrusts during the Pyrenean orogeny. |

In this paper, the petrological description of such facies is highlighted. The Gouérarate Birbirites are mainly composed of silica (chalcedony and microquartz) and talc, geochemically characterized with high SiO2 level (up to 80%). They are derived from a highly refractory peridotite and serpentinite, which correspond to former dunite, harzburgite and serpentinite. The birbirites are mainly formed of ultramafic rocks’ weathering, which has resulted in the concentration of SiO2 and the transformation of olivine, pyroxene and serpentines into chalcedony, quartz and talc. |

The area comprises two lithostructural complexes. The Lower Complex consists of folded metagreywackes and N070-090 degrees E dextral shear zones, which roughly results from a NW-SE to NNW-SSE shortening direction related to a D-1 transpressive tectonic stage. D-1 is also combined with syntectonic plutons emplaced between ca. 615 and 575 Ma. The Upper Complex is defined by ash-flow caldera emplacements, thick and widespread ignimbrites, lavas and volcaniclastic sedimentary rocks with related intrusives that were emplaced in three main magmatic flare ups at ca. 575, 565 and 555 Ma. It lies unconformably on the Lower Complex units and was affected by a D-2 trantensive tectonic stage. Between 550 and 540 Ma, the magmatic activity became slightly alkaline and of lower extent. Ore deposits show specific features, but remain controlled by the same structural setting: a NNW-SSE shortening direction related to both D-1 and D-2 stages. Porphyry Au(-Cu-Mo) and intrusion-related gold deposits were emplaced in an earlier stage between 580 and 565 Ma. Intermediate sulfidation epithermal deposits may have been emplaced during lull periods after the second and (or) the third flare-ups (560-550 Ma). Low sulfidation epithermal deposits were emplaced late during the felsic alkaline magmatic stage (550-520 Ma). The D-2 stage, therefore, provided extensional structures that enabled fluid circulations and magmatic-hydrothermal ore forming processes. |

Field studies reveal three tectono-magmatic stages controlling the formation of the deposit, i) The first stage refers to the top-to-the-south asymmetry and the syn-kinematic Ikniwn pluton emplacement controlled by a compressional or transpressional strain regime, ii) The second stage is characterized, from older to younger and further away from the intrusion, by: metatexite with leucocratic stromatic bands, aplo-pegmatite sills, intermediate veinlets composed of quartz, K-feldspar and muscovite, and then gold-bearing striped foliation-veins. All these features are assumed to have been emplaced during a large-scale ENE-WSW dextral shearing process that results from an ESE-WNW shortening direction during transtensive tectonics. We suggest that the progressive and continuous shearing was initiated since the aplo-pegmatite stage and achieved during the hydrothermal phase. The existence of intermediate veins characterized by quartz-rich core and apatite-muscovite-feldspar-rich rims demonstrates the progressive evolution from the magmatic to the hydrothermal stage and evidence for the persistence of the magmatic character, at least until the onset of the hydrothermal p. cess, iii) The late stage developed large volcanic dyke swarm and brittle faulting. Zircon U-Pb LA-ICP-MS dating yields a Concordia age of +/- 63.5 +/- 6.3 Ma for the Ikniwn granodiorite intrusion. The fluid inclusions data besides the mineral thermometry indicate that two main types of fluids can been highlighted: i) a hot aquo-carbonic (H2O-NaCl-CO2) fluid with N-2 and CH4, evolving from vapour-rich N-2 and CH4 inclusions for the magmatic stage (similar to 550 degrees C)( )to CH4-CO2 biphased inclusions for the ongoing hydrothermal stage (similar to 450-300 degrees C) and ii) an always secondary low T (similar to 200 degrees C) saline aqueous type (probably NaCl) free from volatiles, with very variable salinity. Eventually, we highlight that in the hornfels-hosted IRG deposits, fluid sources may originate from both magmatic processes and devolatization of the metamorphic host rocks. |
2017Conference ER4 Auteurs : Althoff, F; Dubois, Michel; Castro, N Fluid inclusions constraints on the origin of Ribeirão da Prata lead and zinc ore deposits (southern Brazil) XXIVth European Current Research On Fluid Inclusions (ECROFI), 25-29 Juin, Nancy, 2017, (ACTI). @conference{Althoff2017, The Itajaí-Perimbó shear zone (IPSZ), in southern Brazil, is the northern boundary of the Brasiliano/ Pan-African Dom Feliciano Belt, whose evolution is related to the West Gondwana collage. This NE-SW shear zone is the limit between the Itajaí basin, at NW, and the Brusque group (part of Dom Feliciano Belt), at SE. The Itajaí basin is a Neoproterozoic foreland basin, with sedimentation occurring between 600 to 560 Ma. Brusque group is composed of schists and marbles with granitoids, that evolved from 900 to 540 Ma (Basei et al., 2011ab). The IPSZ hosts a lead and zinc (copper and silver) ore deposit at the Ribeirão da Prata mine. Galena, sphalerite, chalcopyrite and pyrite are the primary ore minerals. Covellite, goethite, malachite azurite (cerussite and pyromorphite) represent the secondary ore paragenesis (Biondi et al., 1992). The formation of this deposit is related to reactivation of the shear zone during the main deformation of the Itajaí basin (530 Ma). The IPSZ evolved from thrust to right lateral fault (Rostirolla et al., 1999) and built up a well marked structural control in the deposit, that is associated to fractured gneiss and granitic rocks with remarkable silicification. We have examined fluid inclusions within quartz from pre-, syn- and post-mineralization veins to provide constraints on the role of fluid activity and genesis of the deposit. Thirteen fluid inclusions associations from 5 veins, encompassing 630 fluid inclusions were analyzed by Raman spectroscopy and microthermometry. Fluid inclusions have trapped a saline aqueous fluid with salinity ranging from 1 to 10 wt.% eq. NaCl. No gas has been detected in inclusions. Large variations of salinity are observed inside fluid inclusion assemblages (FIA) probably indicating a mixing process between deep and surface waters. Homogenization temperatures are well distributed in the range 100- 180 °C. |
2017Conference ER4 Auteurs : Althoff, F; Dubois, Michel; Haldich, I W; Ronchi, L H; Ronchi, F C Constraints on the evolution of the Itajaí-Perimbó shear zone, southern Brazil, provided by fluid inclusions XXIVth European Current Research On Fluid Inclusions (ECROFI), 25-29 juin, Nancy, 2017, (ACTI). @conference{Althoff2017a, The Itajaí-Perimbó shear zone (IPSZ) is exposed in the Catarinense Shield, southern Brazil. It defines the contact between the Dom Feliciano Belt (Cryogenian) and the Itajaí Foreland Basin (Ediacaran). The IPSZ evolved from oblique-thrust to strike-slip fault during the Brasiliano / Pan-African orogenic cycle, and was reactivated affecting Late Permian rocks in the Paraná basin (Rostirolla et al., 2003). The oldest rock known in the Dom Feliciano belt is the A-type Parapente granite (843 +/- 12 Ma; Basei et al., 2008), that outcrops inside the IPSZ. The Parapente granite is older than the IPSZ and suffered only brittle- (feldspars) plastic (quartz) deformation, with development of low grade mylonites and phyllonites. The pressure-temperature (P-T) conditions throughout the evolution of the IPSZ were evaluated using fluid inclusions from the Parapente granite. Different quartz generations were identified according to their microstructural features. Homogenization temperatures range from 193 °C in quartz from the less deformed granite (FIP 25), 224 to 180 ºC in quartz from a deformed vein in accordance with the granite foliation (FN6), 180 to 169 ºC in quartz from a deformed vein that cuts the granite foliation (FIP 29), and 165 to 138°C in quartz porphyroblasts from the phyllonite (FIP 6 and FIP 22). All fluid populations are mainly saline waters of low to medium salinity (1-10 wt% eq. NaCl), with exceptionally a low gas content (CO2 and N2) in one sample (FN6). Depths estimated from fluid inclusion isochores indicate at least three crustal levels where the shear zone may have been active (from ~20 km to ~10 km). P-T conditions of formation of phyllonites are estimated at 350 °C and 4 kbar and probably determine the end of the evolution of the IPSZ. The variation in depth of almost 10 km implies that the shear zone operated as a thrust fault |

2017Conference ER4 Auteurs : Kieffer, M; Nasraoui, M; Dubois, Michel; Lavina, P Mineralogy and fluid inclusions of amethyst veins, Auvergne, Central Massif France: Implication for hydrothermal évolution and genesis XXIVth European Current Research On Fluid Inclusions (ECROFI), 25-29 juin, Nancy, 2017, (ACTI). @conference{Kieffer2017, Most amethyst deposits are closely related to granitoids. the vernet-la-varenne amethyst (auvergne district, french massif central) is hosted by several granite and grano-diorite sub-types with few aplite/pegmatite occurrences. amethyst veins have been mined between the 17th and the 20th centuries, but the ore genesis and the hydrothermal evolution remain poorly understood because of the lack of systematic studies of field geology, mineralogy and geochemistry. in the studied area, amethyst veins are mainly oriented n110-n130 and are intimately related to silicified zones with progressive change of quartz colour ranging from milk to purple. two main paragenetic stages of amethyst formation have been recognized based on petrographic observations. the first paragenesis si-s-cu-as-sb-rich is composed of milky-quartz, pyrite and cu-fe sulphides solid solutions with an as end-member (tennantite) and a sb end-member (tetrahedrite), whereas the second paragenesis is as-sb-free and mainly composed of milky-quartz and chalcopyrite. the fluid inclusion study reveals that the amethyst veins were formed from low temperature (100 to 300 °c) and low (<3.5 % equiv. wt.% nacl), to high-salinity fluids (18 to 22 eq wt.% nacl). a subordinate aqueous fluid of moderate salinity has been also recorded (14 eq wt.% nacl). temperature and salinity variations suggest the occurrence of mixing and dilution of early magmatic fluids with external fluids (meteoric and/or evaporate leaching). further oxygen and hydrogen isotopic data are needed to precise the proposed hypothesis. |
2017Conference ER4 Auteurs : Nasraoui, Mohamed; Dubois, Michel; Zinbi, Y; Rottier, B; Misdariis, N Relationship between magma and Cu-mineralization in Eastern Jbilet (Morocco) XXIVth European Current Research On Fluid Inclusions (ECROFI), 25-29 juin, Nancy, 2017, (ACTI). @conference{Nasraoui2017, Copper hydrothermal vein deposits are orebodies formed by precipitation of metal sulphides from hydrothermal fluids released from cooling magmatic sources, eventually mixed with fluids of other sources. several processes are controlling the precipitation of cu-hosting minerals including fluid mixing, temperature, eh and ph changes. identifying new cu deposits in morocco is extremely essential for the country economy. however, the discovery of new deposits is limited by the lack of understanding of metallogenic processes involved in some districts like the one of eastern jbilet, the target of the present work. the eastern jbilet area, belonging to the moroccan hercynian belt, hosts numerous cu-mineralized veins. these veins are distributed over more than 20 km around the city of kelaa sraghna. up to now no genetic model of these cu-veins has been proposed for such deposits. veins hosting sulfide mineralization show multiphase precipitation process mainly of pyrite, chalcopyrite, with minor bornite, covellite, and chalcocite. gangue minerals are represented by quartz and carbonates including calcite, dolomite, ankerite and siderite. our recent field investigations show discreet occurrence of both volcanic and plutonic rocks. the present work focusses on the genetic relationship between cu-veins versus the local magmatism occurrences, and will discuss implications for spatial distribution of the mineralization. field work combining mapping/geophysical exploration and drilling campaign shows that the mineralization process could be linked to small appendices of plutonic rocks probably belonging to a large volcanic system (pillow-lava and basic dykes). a comparison of fluid inclusion results, performed on hydrothermal quartz coming from outcrops and shallow galleries (down to –77 m), provides evidence of ptx fluid signatures with temperature less than 200 °c, depth less than 4 km and high nacl (>20 %) content. no boiling process have been detected. from a genetic point of view copper could be transported as cl-complexes and the precipitation of sulfide-bearing minerals seems to be temperature and ph-dependent. these data suggest that the lateral and in-depth distribution of the mineralization could be linked to a large magmatic system and give key perspective for further exploration work in eastern jbilet. |

2016Journal Article ER4 Auteurs : N'diaye, Ismaïla; Essaifi, Abderrahim; Dubois, Michel; Lacroix, Brice; Goodenough, Kathryn-M.; Maacha, Lhou Fluid flow and polymetallic sulfide mineralization in the Kettara shear zone (Jebilet Massif, Variscan Belt, Morocco) In: Journal of African Earth Sciences, vol. 119, pp. 17-37, 2016, (ACL). @article{Ndiaye2016, The kettara shear zone is a regional wrench shear zone within the jebilet massif of western morocco, part of the variscan orogenic belt. this massif is characterized by bimodal magmatism, largely intrusive, and by a number of polymetallic massive sulfide deposits. a syntectonic mafic-ultramafic intrusion and an adjacent, deformed pyrrhotite-rich massive sulfide deposit are located within a ‘compressional jog’ of the shear zone. hydrothermal alteration in both the intrusion and the wall rocks adjacent to the deposit is characterized by syntectonic replacement processes leading to formation of chlorite-schists and quartz ± calcite veins. fluid inclusions in mineralized (pyrrhotite-bearing) quartz veins from the wall rocks adjacent to the deposit and in veins associated with chlorite-schists within the intrusion indicate a prevalence of h2o-co2-ch4-n2 and h2o-salt fluid systems. in the mineralized veins the fluid shows reducing conditions, with gas dominated by ch4 and n2 and salinities around 7.5 wt% nacl, whereas in the chlorite shear zones fluid is co2 dominated and salinities are higher than 23 wt% nacl. hydrogen and oxygen isotopic compositions of chlorite and quartz are similar and demonstrate involvement of metamorphic water in both the deposit and the intrusion. the data are consistent with a regional metamorphic fluid flow through the kettara shear zone. the migrating metamorphic fluids were reduced in the organic matter-rich host rocks leading to deposition of sulfides in the mineralized veins. there are two possible hypotheses for the origin of these mineralized veins: either they were formed during deformation and remobilization of a syn-sedimentary massive sulfide deposit, or they were formed synchronously with the sulfide deposit during development of the kettara shear zone. |
