However, its occurrence and enrichment processes are still discussed and debated. Here, a unique occurrence of thorite, discovered in Nubian granodiorite rather than in highly evolved granites from southwestern Egypt, is reported. This report presents data derived from optical and backscattered electron (BSE) microscopy and energy-dispersive X- ray spectrometry (EDS) analyses conducted on the thorite and its host rock. The Nubian granodiorite thorites are viewed as secondary, not primary products. Two distinct types of secondary thorites are identified that are referred to as type A thorite and type B thorite herein. Type A thorite occurs as small grains that are enclaved in a fine-grained matrix of altered oligoclase and ferrohornblende, and clinochlore. Thorite grains, up to 100 μm in size are characterized by corona-type structures comprising of clinochlore and hematite with some barite. Their sources are most likely hydrothermal solutions occurring during an alteration stage and having relatively high conditions of sulfate activity. Type B thorite, on the other hand, forms crystallites in altered domains of magmatic allanite-(Ce), ranging in size from ~ 0.1 to ~ 10 μm. Formation of Type B thorite is a direct result of fluid-driven alteration processes, since it requires the in situ-redistribution of elements, particularly thorium, silicon, and uranium. Thorite types A and B are composed mainly of thorium uranium silicate, with variable minor amounts of Y, Al, Ce, Nd, Fe, Ca, Na, Mg, P, and Cl. Thorite compositions are within the range reported for uranothorites from other occurrences.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":18547,"journal":{"name":"Mineralogy and Petrology","volume":"118 4","pages":"535 - 545"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142186754","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 granitoids are ferroan and metaluminous, and display the typical characteristics of A-type granites, with high contents of Zr, Nb, Ga and rare earth elements (REEs). The enclaves are metaluminous and have a broad compositional range with two groups distinguished: silica-poor (45–50 wt% SiO<sub>2</sub>) and silica-rich (54 to 59 wt% SiO<sub>2</sub>), the latter overlapping in composition with the granitoid samples. The silica-poor enclaves are enriched in REEs compared to the silica-rich type, while the silica-rich enclaves exhibit trace-element patterns similar to those of the granitoids. Initial whole rock ε<sub>Nd</sub> values range between -3.8 and -4.0 for the granitoids and give a slightly wider range from -2.6 to -3.8 for the enclaves.

These may suggest that the two magmatic systems represented by the granitoid host rock and the enclaves, were probably derived from different sources, but with sufficient interaction, which led to a progressive change in the composition of the enclaves towards intermediate composition. We suggest that the mafic melts of the enclaves were generated at the base of the thickened crust through partial melting of the lower crustal source, with a significant contribution from mantle material.

Clinopyroxene ranging in composition from diopside to augite is the most significant mafic mineral of the basic rocks. Aluminum partitioning between tetrahedral and octahedral sites shows that those crystalized at low pressure. Ferric iron of clinopyroxene also indicates high oxygen fugacity for formation of crystal. Geothermobarometry using clinopyroxene-melt equilibrium calculations constrains the crystallization temperature and pressure of this mineral as 1100–1200 °C and 2–6 kbar.

Co-existing basalt to trachyandesite lavas display parallel and tight REE patterns that suggest these rocks originated from a common mantle source or parental magma. Tectonomagmatic discrimination diagrams and mineral compositions are consistent with the host volcanic rocks having the characteristics of continental margin arcs. Geochemical data are consistent with the parental magma of mafic-intermediate rocks of Rasht-Abad area being derived from a typical subcontinental lithospheric mantle which was enriched by subducted slab-derived fluids and melts during tectonic events in the active continental margin.
