It consists primarily of orebody-24 in segment I, and orebody-1 and orebody-2 in segment II. The contents of platinum-group elements (PGE) in these orebodies decrease significantly from west to east across the deposit. However, the PGE characteristics of platinum-group minerals (PGM) and alloys, as well as their roles during mineralization in different orebodies, remain unclear. In this study, PGM and alloy occurrences in orebody-24 and orebody-2 had been observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and spherical-aberration corrected scanning transmission electron microscope (Cs-STEM). The PGE contents were analyzed by SEM–EDS for submicron-scale PGM and alloys. The results show that olivine in lherzolite mainly hosts PGM of PtTe and PdBi<sub>2</sub>, whereas pyroxene contains small amounts of PdBiTe. Pyrrhotite predominantly hosts (Ir-Rh-Pt)AsS, Pd(BiTe), and other PGM, as well as PtSn and PtOs alloys. Pentlandite mainly encloses Pd(BiTe), PdBi/PdBi<sub>2</sub> and other PGM, as well as PtSn and PtFe alloys. Chalcopyrite primarily encloses PdBi/PdBi<sub>2</sub>, and other PGM, along with PtSn and IrOs. Distinct distribution patterns of PGE in PGM and alloys had been observed between different orebodies. Orebody-24 contains more (Ir-Rh-Pt)AsS minerals and PtFe/PtSn alloy grains, whereas orebody-2 has a higher proportion of Pt- and Pd-bearing PGM. The presence of euhedral alloys in silicate minerals from orebody-24 suggests that its parent magma had a higher PGE content before sulfide saturation than that of orebody-2. More than 90% of PGM and alloys in both orebody-24 and orebody-2 contain Pt and Pd, emphasizing their contributions to the elevated Pt and Pd concentrations. The different PGE distributions of PGM and alloys in the two orebodies suggest that thermodynamic conditions (<i>f</i>O<sub>2</sub> and <i>f</i>S<sub>2</sub>) and semimetals, especially As, play critical roles in controlling PGE behavior and occurrence.</p>","PeriodicalId":7095,"journal":{"name":"Acta Geologica Sinica ‐ English Edition","volume":"99 4","pages":"1059-1073"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144923344","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Abundant W minerals have been identified in the region via exploration. However, metallogenic sources and evolution of W remain unclear, and the existing metallogenic model has to be updated to guide further ore prospecting. Elemental and Sr-Nd isotopic data for scheelites assist in the determination of sources and evolution of the W-mineralizing fluids and metals in the district. Based on field geological survey, the scheelites in the Gejiu district can be categorized into three types: altered granite (Type I), quartz vein (Type II) from the Laochang deposit, and skarn (Type III) from the Kafang deposit. Types I and II scheelites have low molybdenum (Mo) and strontium (Sr) contents, and Type II scheelite has lower Sr contents than Type I as well as higher Mo and Sr contents than Type III scheelites. Varying Mo contents across the scheelite types suggests that the oxygen fugacity varied during ore accumulation. Type I and Type II scheelites exhibit similar rare earth elements (REE) patterns; Type III scheelite contains lower REE content, particularly HREE, compared with the other scheelites. All scheelites exhibit negative Eu anomalies in the chondrite-normalized REE patterns. As the W-mineralization and two-mica granite share close spatial and temporal relationships, the negative Eu anomalies were likely inherited from the two-mica granite. Type I and Type II scheelites display varied (<sup>87</sup>Sr/<sup>86</sup>Sr)<sub>82 Ma</sub> (0.7090–0.7141) and <i>ε</i><sub>Nd</sub>(82 Ma) (from –9.9 to –5.4) values, similar to those of granite.

This indicates that the two-mica granite alone did not provide the ore-forming fluids and metals and that the Type III scheelite ore-forming fluids likely involved external fluids that were probably derived from carbonate rocks.

The results show that the Lower Jurassic lacustrine shales in the Sichuan Basin are in a warm and humid semi-anoxic to anoxic lake environment with high productivity, a strong stagnant environment, and a rapid sedimentation rate, with water depths ranging from about 11.54–55.22 m, and a mixture of type II/III kerogen is developed. In terms of reservoir characteristics, they are dominated by open-slit pores, and the pores are relatively complex. The percentage of mesopores is the highest, while the percentage of macropores is the lowest. Further analysis shows that paleoclimate controls the overall pore complexity and surface relaxation of shales by influencing the weathering rate of mother rocks.

Under the sequence stratigraphic frameworks, the spatio-temporal distribution features of the organic-rich shales of the Liujiang Fm. and the regional variations of the Liujiang Fm. were investigated. In addition, the rock components and OM occurrence states of the organic-rich shales were also observed and described in detail under the microscope. The results show that the organic-rich shales were formed temporally primarily during the third-order sea-level falling stage, developed spatially mainly on the east and west sides of the study area, as well as that the OM accumulation is closely related to tentaculitoids and seems to be influenced by a ‘biological pump’.</p>","PeriodicalId":7095,"journal":{"name":"Acta Geologica Sinica ‐ English Edition","volume":"99 3","pages":"646-666"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144514688","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
