Abstract
Preferred orientation of pyrrhotite by crystal lattice in varied mineralized rocks was investigated by means of the anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility. The study area is mineralized contact of Neo-Proterozoic meta-volcanics with Variscan Sázava tonalite in the Central Bohemia. The contact crops out in the Josef Gallery located in the Mokrsko-West gold deposit. Magnetism of the investigated rocks is dominantly carried by pyrrhotite associated with the Mokrsko-West gold mineralization. In meta-volcanics, pyrrhotite basal planes are parallel to the cleavage and were preferably oriented through recrystallization or neocrystallization in an anisotropic stress field and/or through mechanical reorientation due to ductile deformation of the host rock. In tonalite, pyrrhotite basal planes are parallel to dominating steep joints. This preferred orientation evidently originated through oriented crystallization from mineralizing fluids into microcracks hosting quartz veinlets. Steep to vertical intersections come from differently striking vertical joints hosting mineralizations.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Structural Geology publishes process-oriented investigations about structural geology using appropriate combinations of analog and digital field data, seismic reflection data, satellite-derived data, geometric analysis, kinematic analysis, laboratory experiments, computer visualizations, and analogue or numerical modelling on all scales. Contributions are encouraged to draw perspectives from rheology, rock mechanics, geophysics,metamorphism, sedimentology, petroleum geology, economic geology, geodynamics, planetary geology, tectonics and neotectonics to provide a more powerful understanding of deformation processes and systems. Given the visual nature of the discipline, supplementary materials that portray the data and analysis in 3-D or quasi 3-D manners, including the use of videos, and/or graphical abstracts can significantly strengthen the impact of contributions.
