We provide the first detailed study of the chemical composition of sulfosalts from the hydrothermal veins directly related to the specialized (Sn–W–F enriched) Gemeric granites. Bismuthinite derivates (bismuthinite and phases with naik ranging from 21.3 to 23.7 and 30.3), minerals of the kobellite–tintinaite series (with Sb/(Sb + Bi) atomic ratio ranging considerably between 0.13 and 0.71), giessenite–izoklakeite series (with Sb/(Sb + Bi) from 0.26 to 0.33) as well as Pb–Sb sulfosalts (mainly jamesonite, boulangerite, robinsonite and their Bi-rich varieties) are common. Rare Bi-enriched rouxelite, bournonite and minerals of the tetrahedrite group were also observed. The two distinct types of sulfosalts associations were distinguished, each related to the different type of host rock and with variable Bi/Sb ratio. The first is represented predominantly by Bi-rich sulfosalts (bismuthinite derivates, kobellite, giessenite–izoklakeite) and occurs in the quartz veins hosted in P-enriched leucogranite. The second association is developed only in hydrothermal quartz veins hosted in porphyric granites and except of Bi (bismuthinite derivates) also significant amounts of Sb-rich sulfosalts (tintinaite, boulangerite, robinsonite, jamesonite, rouxelite, bournonite and tetrahedrite-(Zn) to tetrahedrite(Fe)) are present.","PeriodicalId":15957,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geosciences","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2021-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69781303","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}

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}
