Abstract
This paper discusses the problems of interpreting the study results obtained for metal and mineral microinclusions by the scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray microanalysis, which are related to the matrix material effect. The method was shown to work well when studying “relatively large” (5–10 μm) microinclusions for the purpose of phase identification and semi-quantitative determination of their composition normalized to 100%. The potential for “cleaning” analysis results from “additives” caused by matrix elements, as well as the criteria for assessing a distance from boundaries of a micro-object at which the matrix effect becomes minimum, are considered. The results we obtained by means of these approaches are illustrated by examples of petrology and metallogeny of igneous rocks studied in the Kamchatka region and the Stanovoy fold belt. This study made it possible to obtain new data on petrological processes in the mantle–crust substrate under the active volcanic arc and on the ore–magmatic system evolution under the ancient active continental margin.
期刊介绍:
Russian Journal of Pacific Geology publishes the results of research on the Earth crust and mantle composition and provides articles on the geological structure and patterns of distribution of mineral deposits in the Pacific Ocean, marginal seas and continental margins. It discusses the topics of stratigraphy, sedimentology, magmatic activity, and seismicity. The journal deals with the problems of lithosphere plates tectonics, and offers the results of neotectonic, geomorphological, geodesic, environmental and mining studies in the Pacific region. The journal accepts theoretical, methodical and philosophical articles covering general issues of geology, geophysics, geochemistry, geoecology and mining. The journal also publishes critical notes and comments, and reviews.
