Vikingite is monoclinic, C2/m, with a = 13.5394(10), b = 4.0992(3), c = 25.506(3) Å, β = 95.597(8)°, V = 1408.9(2) Å3, Z = 1, Dc = 7.0412 g/cm3. The structural formula derived from the refinement is Ag2.85Pb12.35(Bi9.52Sb1.27)Σ=10.80S30, corresponding to Vik40.0. The structure of vikingite is composed of thinner slabs (4L) of four octahedra Me2–Me1–Me1–Me2 and thicker slabs (7L) of seven octahedra Me4–Me5–Me6–Me7–Me6–Me5–Me4 separated by Pb atoms Me3 in trigonal prismatic coordination. The refinement showed differences between the structures of Vik40 and the previously published structure of Vik50. The drop of L % below 50 % shows most profoundly in the marginal octahedral site Me2 of the thinner 4L slabs, which becomes a Bi–Pb–Ag site with 28.6 % of silver next to 50 % of Bi and 21.4 % of Pb. The central Me1 site from 4L slabs which is almost a pure Bi site in Vik50 (0.97 Bi + 0.3 Ag) becomes a Bi-Pb site with minor Sb (0.54 Bi + 0.06 Sb + 0.40 Pb) in Vik40. The Sb for Bi substitution was found to take place in the semimarginal site Me5 (0.74 Bi + 0.26 Sb) in the thicker 7L slabs, which is a pure Bi site in Sb-free Vik50. Another important change against Vik50 occurs in central octahedral site Me6 (pure Pb site in Vik50), which becomes – despite the decrease in Bi content with decreasing L % – a Pb–Bi mix site. The correctness of the refined structural model was verified and the occupancies of mixed sites were fine-tuned employing charge distribution calculations in program ECoN21. In Vik40 weighted average bond lengths RAV of the marginal sites Me2 and Me4 and of the central site Me1 are significantly larger than in Vik50, reflecting the lower Ag content and the presence of Pb, while the Bi site Me5, which is partly substituted by Sb and the site Me6 with minor Bi at the expense of Pb exhibit adequately shortened RAV values.","PeriodicalId":15957,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geosciences","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2021-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41533842","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 gravity data are inverted for the top of the Precambrian basement using horizons from 2–D gravity and magnetic forward models and well tops as input depth measurements. 2–D models, used in the study, are built upon depth converted seismic profiles. The results are visualized as an isobath map for the top of the Precambrian basement, complemented with the qualitative structural interpretation of gravity and magnetic anomaly maps. The outcome of 3–D joint inversion of the gravity data and depth measurements shows the Precambrian crystalline basement deepening southward from c. 1 to almost 7 km b. s. l. Consequently, an approximately 2 km thick wedge of autochthonous sediments, thickening southward, is embraced between the crystalline basement and a sole detachment of the Carpathian fold-and-thrust belt, imaged by seismic data. Since the modelled top of the crystalline basement is roughly parallel to the Moho, suggesting no extension-related thinning in Mesozoic, the autochthonous sediments are likely of pre-Permian age. A positive magnetic anomaly in the south of the study area is presumably associated with the presence of an elongated body of intermediate to mafic rocks in the basement of the Brunovistulian Terrane. These rocks may represent a relic of a Cadomian magmatic arc comparable to that existing in the Brno Massif of southern Moravia.","PeriodicalId":15957,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geosciences","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2021-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45819961","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 program allows the users to enter total of 34 input variables, including Sample No, SiO2, TiO2, Al2O3, V2O3, Cr2O3, Nb2O3, Fe2O3, FeO, MnO, NiO, ZnO, MgO, CaO, Na2O, K2O, BaO (wt. %) for each magnetite and ilmenite compositional data. WinMIgob enables to enter and load multiple magnetite and ilmenite analyses in the program’s data entry section. Alternatively, the composition of magnetite–ilmenite pairs can be typed in a blank Excel file as in the above order and then loaded into the program’s data entry screen for data processing. The ferric and ferrous iron contents from microprobe-derived total FeO (wt. %) of magnetite–ilmenite compositions are estimated by stoichiometric constraints based on three different approaches. Using the calculated multiple magnetite and ilmenite analyses, WinMIgob estimates molecular (%) and mole fractions of magnetite, uvöspinel, ilmenite and hematite amounts. The program evaluates fourteen magnetite–ilmenite geothermometers, thirteen oxygen barometers and six relative to the nickel–nickel oxide (NNO) buffer values based on the different calibrations with various calculation methods. WinMIgob also allows the users to check if their magnetite–ilmenite pairs taken from rocks are within or departure from the Bacon–Hirschmann Mg/Mn exchange equilibrium line ± 2σ level. This program generates and stores all the calculated results in the Microsoft Excel file (i.e., Output.xlsx), which can be displayed and processed by any other software for further data presentation and graphing purposes. The compiled program code is distributed as a self-extracting setup file, including a help file, test data files and graphic files, which are intended to produce a high-quality printout.","PeriodicalId":15957,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geosciences","volume":"1 1","pages":"51-70"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2021-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41637534","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}
