Halotrichite and its Mg-rich varieties are common products of the acid leaching of rocks, both volcanic and technogenic. The crystal structures of two halotrichite crystals were refined in the P 2 1 / n space group ( vs. P 2 1 / c used previously) with the unit-cell parameters a = 6.1947(2)/ 6.1963(5) Å, b = 24.2966(8)/ 24.2821(14) Å, c = 21.0593(8)/ 21.063(2) Å, β = 96.512(4)/ 96.563(9) º, V = 3149.2(2)/ 3148.3(5) Å 3 , Z = 4 to R 1 = 0.055 and 0.067 for 5673 and 3936 reflections with I > 2σ I reflections, respectively. The crystal structure consists of isolated Al(H 2 O) 6 octahedra, SO 4 tetrahedra, H 2 O molecules and [ X (SO 4 )(H 2 O) 5 ] 0 clusters ( X = Fe, Mg). The chemical analyses of both samples show their enrichment of Mg at the Fe 2+ site. The analysis of geometrical parameters of the crystal structures of halotrichite and its Mg-analogue pickeringite suggests that the localization of O atoms carried out in this work is more accurate and the single-crystal X-ray diffraction data for the first time allowed localization of hydrogen atom positions. The refined number of H 2 O molecules agrees with the ideal chemical formula. The crystal structure complexity of halotrichite is estimated as I G,total = 2305 bits/cell, which belongs to the family of very complex mineral structures. The contribution of hydrogen bonding system plays a significant role in the overall bonding scheme and the overall complexity of the crystal structure, increasing the Shannon information amount more than twice from I G,total(noH) = 988 bits/cell (no hydrogen atoms) to I G,total = 2305 bits/cell (all atoms including hydrogen). The comparative distribution of halotrichite relative to other Fe-Al hydrated sulfates from the standpoint of structural complexity is considered.","PeriodicalId":15957,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geosciences","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46290450","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The activity of scattered cinder cones was partly coeval with that of Tosa Sucha Volcano (Calabrian), but continued also after Tosa Sucha’s extinction until Middle Pleistocene ( c. 0.5 Ma). Whereas scoria cones on the Nech Sar plains displayed a rather simple Strombolian eruptive style, the cones located within the northern part of Chamo Lake were characterized by more complex evolution. Ganjulle scoria cone, with a uniform olivine basalt composition, started with a Surtseyan-style eruption, which turned into Strombolian as the volcano grew above the water level. An even more complex history was documented for the Ganta cone. Compositional zoning of pyroclastic rocks is explained by zoned-chamber exhaustion. The transition from magmatic to phreatomagmatic style of the eruption was then most likely linked to syn-eruptive subsidence of the area on the Chamo Lake banks. Subsequent transition back to Strombolian style reflected the growth of the cone above water level. The Sr–Nd–Pb isotopes, together with major-element-based thermodynamic modelling, demonstrate that magmas parental to the North Chamo alkaline volcanic rocks (alkali basalt, through trachybasalt and trachyandesite to trachyte) evolved initially by closed-system fractionation of olivine, later joined by clinopyroxene, spinel and calcic plagioclase. The subsequent stage was characterized by a substantial ( c. 25% by mass) assimilation of country-rock felsic igneous material, perhaps corresponding to the Paleogene ignimbrites.","PeriodicalId":15957,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geosciences","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46582105","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Edren and Baaran subzones at the NW tip of the Trans-Altai Zone were intruded by Late Palaeozoic plutons that have been examined by the combined geochronological and geochemical study. Mississippian subduction-related plutons intruded Devonian and Carboniferous volcano-sedimentary sequences in two magmatic pulses. The older, Tournaisian plutons (dated at 352 ± 1 and 347 ± 4 Ma) occur in both subzones; the younger Visean/Serpukhovian ones (331 ± 1 Ma) are found only at the northern boundary of the Edren Subzone. All Mississippian rocks are high-K calc-alkaline and characterised by a strong enrichment of hydrous fluid mobile lithophile elements over conservative Nb, Ta and Ti relative to normal mid-ocean ridge basalts. Low 87 Sr/ 86 Sr i (~ 0.7035–0.7038) and highly positive ε iNd values (+ 6.6 to + 5.2) suggest a relatively juvenile parental magma source with a short mean crustal residence. This corresponds well with the age of scarce inherited zircons, none of which is older than 530 Ma. The Early Permian post-tectonic plutons intruded the shallow crust of the Baaran Subzone (Devonian–Carboniferous flysch and Early Carboniferous volcanic arc). The prominent concentric body of the Aaj Bogd Pluton is composed of monzodiorites to monzogabbros (284 ± 1 and 294 ± 3 Ma) in its centre, surrounded by granite with syenite (282 ± 1 Ma) in the main mass of the pluton. Whole-rock Sr–Nd isotopic ratios match those of Carboniferous magmatic rocks, while trace-element patterns point to an intra-plate origin influenced by a fertile asthenospheric mantle component. On the other hand, the slightly older (290 ± 1 Ma) quartz syenites to alkali feldspar granites in the Baaran Subzone have spurious arc-like geochemistry inherited from their arc-related crustal source(s). Regional distribution of the numerous oval-shaped Early Permian alkaline post-orogenic plutons, some with A 2 -type granite affinity, follows the major Permian strike-slip zones spanning from the Dulate Arc in the west to the Khan Bogd Pluton in the east.

Petrographic features and trace element distributions demonstrate that the Karapınar basalts can be classified into two sub-groups as basalt-1 (KB1/ alkaline–calc-alkaline) and basalt-2 (KB2/calc-alkaline). Although these two types of basalts are petrographically, texturally and geochemically different, they exhibit similar “orogenic type” incompatible trace element patterns in MORB-normalized diagrams. KB1 basalts are relatively primitive (e.g., up to 12 wt. % MgO) and calc-alkaline to mildly alkaline (Ne-normative content up to 5 %) in character, whereas KB2 basalts are enclave-bearing, calc-alkaline (hypersthene-normative plus quartz or olivine) ones with the more evolved composition. The most primitive olivine from the KB1 exhibits normal zoning, from core compositions of Fo 89 to rim compositions of Fo 86, with a concomitant decreasing in Ni and increasing MnO and CaO contents. On the contrary, the KB2 olivines show both inverse and normal zoning in terms of CaO and MnO contents. Moreover, the studied olivine phenocrysts have enriched rims and/or growth zones in Li, Zn, Cr, Ti, Sc, and V contents, which indicates a source containing recycled continental crust and/or magma recharging processes. The olivine from the most primitive samples (KB1; MgO > 10 wt. %) has high Zn/Fe, Fe/Mn, Co, Zn, Ni, Ca, and low Mn/Zn, Co/Fe values indicating melt addition from a pyroxenitic source. Calculations based on the olivine chemistry indicate that the most primitive nepheline normative KB1 rocks originated from the melting of mixed pyroxenitic-peridotitic source that shows the average proportion of ~70 % and ~30 %, respectively. The mean δ 18 O values of olivine phenocrysts (+ 6.4 ‰; n = 8) from the Karapınar basaltic rocks are higher than typical mantle olivine (+ 5.1–5.4 ‰) but overlap known OIB-EMII sources (+ 5.4–6.1 ‰). Collected data indicate that the Karapınar basalts are the mixing products of partial melts from mantle peridotite and metasomatic pyroxenite generated by the reaction of the subducted oceanic slab-derived melts with the surrounding peridotite, related to the convergence system of the Eurasian and Afro–Arabian plates.","PeriodicalId":15957,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geosciences","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2022-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49420061","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
