In experiments involving fluids consisting of NaCl+H₂O, KCl+H₂O, CaCl₂+H₂O, 2M NaOH, or 2M KOH, no reaction of the titanite with the fluid was observed other than a slight dissolution of the titanite. Experiments involving NaF+H₂O and Ca(OH)₂+H₂O resulted in visible alteration of the titanite in texture and composition, coupled with the formation of perovskite. In the NaF+H₂O experiment, perovskite, enriched with rare earth elements (REE), formed as euhedral to subhedral crystals on the surface of the recrystallized titanite. In the Ca(OH)₂+H₂O experiment perovskite took in minor amounts of REE, and formed as a reaction rim partially replacing the titanite via a coupled dissolution-reprecipitation reaction. Wollastonite, along with minor calcite, and grossular garnet, formed as an outer rim on the perovskite. In the NaF+H₂O experiment major and trace elements were leached from the titanite, whereas in the Ca(OH)₂+H₂O experiment no leaching of major or trace elements was observed. Nb/Ta, Th/U, and Y/Ho were investigated as potential indicators of hydrothermal processes. While the Nb/Ta ratio was altered in the experimentally metasomatised titanite, the degree of alteration was the same for both fluids. In contrast, only small changes in the Th/U and Y/Ho ratios between the altered and original titanite were seen for either experiment. The formation of perovskite at the expense of titanite in NaF+H₂O or Ca(OH)₂+H₂O fluids demonstrates how titanite reacts with these fluids in simple, low silica activity systems under mid to upper crustal P-T conditions.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":18547,"journal":{"name":"Mineralogy and Petrology","volume":"118 3","pages":"321 - 344"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s00710-024-00862-5.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141885381","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Three periods in the metamorphic-hydrothermal history of the deposit are recognized: 1) the pre-ore prograde skarn period when garnet-clinopyroxene skarns formed, 2) the syn-ore period that encompasses a retrograde stage marked by epidote and zoisite and a quartz-sulfide stage characterized by quartz, pyrrhotite, sphalerite, galena and chalcopyrite, and 3) the post-ore period associated with precipitation of calcite and quartz. The hydrothermal evolution is inferred from studying six groups of quartz-hosted fluid inclusions (FI). Two-phase FI of high- (Group A) and moderate salinity (Group B) are found in quartz cores and homogenized at 380–390 °C (mode) and 370–380 °C (mode), respectively. Group A FI consists of H₂O-NaCl liquids and CO₂-CH₄ gas mixtures and likely represents the original fluid composition, whereas Group B FI records dilution of the original fluid at constant temperature, with a slight increase in CH₄ contents. The quartz cores also contain Group C as volatile-rich FI (mostly CO₂ with up to 10 mol% CH₄ and H₂S) of a moderately low salinity and liquid-rich Group D FI composed of pure water with homogenization temperatures of 180–200 °C (mode). The transitional zones of quartz crystals show overgrowth textures and host Group E FI with low salinity that homogenized at 235–401 °C, which vapour phase is a CO₂-CH₄ mixture with up to 17 mol% CH₄. Group F comprises FI found within the rim zones of quartz crystals and they exhibit a low salinity and homogenization temperatures between 259–365 °C. Accordingly, the hydrothermal history at Rudnik involved: a) mixing of different salinity fluids at high temperatures (Groups A and B—retrograde stage), b) introduction of fluids with high volatile contents (Group C) and cooling of fluids with constant salinity (between Groups E and F), which likely correspond to the quartz-sulfide stage, and c) inflow of meteoric water (Group D—the post-ore quartz-calcite stage).</p></div>","PeriodicalId":18547,"journal":{"name":"Mineralogy and Petrology","volume":"118 3","pages":"461 - 482"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141369970","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}
