  • The Regional Distribution of Zeolites in the Basalts of the Faroe Islands and the Significance of Zeolites As Palaeo- Temperature Indicators
    The regional distribution of zeolites in the basalts of the Faroe Islands and the significance of zeolites as palaeo- temperature indicators Ole Jørgensen The first maps of the regional distribution of zeolites in the Palaeogene basalt plateau of the Faroe Islands are presented. The zeolite zones (thomsonite-chabazite, analcite, mesolite, stilbite-heulandite, laumontite) continue below sea level and reach a depth of 2200 m in the Lopra-1/1A well. Below this level, a high temperature zone occurs characterised by prehnite and pumpellyite. The stilbite-heulan- dite zone is the dominant mineral zone on the northern island, Vágar, the analcite and mesolite zones are the dominant ones on the southern islands of Sandoy and Suðuroy and the thomsonite-chabazite zone is dominant on the two northeastern islands of Viðoy and Borðoy. It is estimated that zeolitisa- tion of the basalts took place at temperatures between about 40°C and 230°C. Palaeogeothermal gradients are estimated to have been 66 ± 9°C/km in the lower basalt formation of the Lopra area of Suðuroy, the southernmost island, 63 ± 8°C/km in the middle basalt formation on the northernmost island of Vágar and 56 ± 7°C/km in the upper basalt formation on the central island of Sandoy. A linear extrapolation of the gradient from the Lopra area places the palaeosurface of the basalt plateau near to the top of the lower basalt formation. On Vágar, the palaeosurface was somewhere between 1700 m and 2020 m above the lower formation while the palaeosurface on Sandoy was between 1550 m and 1924 m above the base of the upper formation.

The samples can be divided into three types: Mn-rich 15 16 nodules, Fe-Mn nodules, and Fe-rich nodules. The manganese-bearing phases are todorokite, birnessite, 16 17 and buserite. The iron-bearing phases are feroxyhyte, goethite, 2-line ferrihydrite, and proto-goethite 17 18 (intermediate phase between feroxyhyte and goethite). The XRD patterns from a nodule cross section 18 19 suggest the transformation of birnessite to todorokite. The TEM-EDS spectra show that todorokite is 19 associated with Ba, Co, Ni, and Zn; birnessite is associated with Ca and Na; and buserite is associated with 20 2+ +2 3+ 20 Ca. The todorokite has an average chemical formula of Ba0.28(Zn0.14Co0.05 21 2+ 4+ 3+ 3+ 3+ 2+ 21 Ni0.02)(Mn4.99Mn0.82Fe0.12Co0.05Ni0.02)O12·nH2O.

  • Metamorphism of Sedimentary Manganese Deposits
    Acta Mineralogica-Petrographica, Szeged, XX/2, 325—336, 1972. METAMORPHISM OF SEDIMENTARY MANGANESE DEPOSITS SUPRIYA ROY ABSTRACT: Metamorphosed sedimentary deposits of manganese occur extensively in India, Brazil, U. S. A., Australia, New Zealand, U. S. S. R., West and South West Africa, Madagascar and Japan. Different mineral-assemblages have been recorded from these deposits which may be classi- fied into oxide, carbonate, silicate and silicate-carbonate formations. The oxide formations are represented by lower oxides (braunite, bixbyite, hollandite, hausmannite, jacobsite, vredenburgite •etc.), the carbonate formations by rhodochrosite, kutnahorite, manganoan calcite etc., the silicate formations by spessartite, rhodonite, manganiferous amphiboles and pyroxenes, manganophyllite, piedmontite etc. and the silicate-carbonate formations by rhodochrosite, rhodonite, tephroite, spessartite etc. Pétrographie and phase-equilibia data indicate that the original bulk composition in the sediments, the reactions during metamorphism (contact and regional and the variations and effect of 02, C02, etc. with rise of temperature, control the mineralogy of the metamorphosed manga- nese formations. The general trend of formation and transformation of mineral phases in oxide, carbonate, silicate and silicate-carbonate formations during regional and contact metamorphism has, thus, been established. Sedimentary manganese formations, later modified by regional or contact metamorphism, have been reported from different parts of the world. The most important among such deposits occur in India, Brazil, U.S.A., U.S.S.R., Ghana, South and South West Africa, Madagascar, Australia, New Zealand, Great Britain, Japan etc. An attempt will be made to summarize the pertinent data on these metamorphosed sedimentary formations so as to establish the role of original bulk composition of the sediments, transformation and reaction of phases at ele- vated temperature and varying oxygen and carbon dioxide fugacities in determin- ing the mineral assemblages in these deposits.

    I`mt`qx1/00Lhmdq`knesgdLnmsg9Rbnkdbhsd This month’s mineral, scolecite, is an uncommon zeolite from India. Our write-up explains its origin as a secondary mineral in volcanic host rocks, the difficulty of collecting this fragile mineral, the unusual properties of the zeolite-group minerals, and why mineralogists recently revised the system of zeolite classification and nomenclature. OVERVIEW PHYSICAL PROPERTIES Chemistry: Ca(Al2Si3O10)A3H2O Hydrous Calcium Aluminum Silicate (Hydrous Calcium Aluminosilicate), usually containing some potassium and sodium. Class: Silicates Subclass: Tectosilicates Group: Zeolites Crystal System: Monoclinic Crystal Habits: Usually as radiating sprays or clusters of thin, acicular crystals or Hairlike fibers; crystals are often flattened with tetragonal cross sections, lengthwise striations, and slanted terminations; also massive and fibrous. Twinning common. Color: Usually colorless, white, gray; rarely brown, pink, or yellow. Luster: Vitreous to silky Transparency: Transparent to translucent Streak: White Cleavage: Perfect in one direction Fracture: Uneven, brittle Hardness: 5.0-5.5 Specific Gravity: 2.16-2.40 (average 2.25) Figure 1. Scolecite. Luminescence: Often fluoresces yellow or brown in ultraviolet light. Refractive Index: 1.507-1.521 Distinctive Features and Tests: Best field-identification marks are acicular crystal habit; vitreous-to-silky luster; very low density; and association with other zeolite-group minerals, especially the closely- related minerals natrolite [Na2(Al2Si3O10)A2H2O] and mesolite [Na2Ca2(Al6Si9O30)A8H2O]. Laboratory tests are often needed to distinguish scolecite from other zeolite minerals. Dana Classification Number: 77.1.5.5 NAME The name “scolecite,” pronounced SKO-leh-site, is derived from the German Skolezit, which comes from the Greek sklx, meaning “worm,” an allusion to the tendency of its acicular crystals to curl when heated and dehydrated.

Roonv Bxttzt Department of Geological Sciences,Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois 60201, U.S.A. Ansrucr The composition and morphology of Cr-rich spinels in MORBs reflect and record pre- eruptive petrogeneticevents such as magma-chamberrecharge, fractionation, and magma mixing. In this paper we examine Cr-rich spinels in MORB-type lavas erupted from the near-ridge Lamont seamountsand from the adjacent East Pacific Rise crest at 10'N. The spinels studied are exclusively from quickly quenchedglassy to spherulitic flow margins. The host lavas are depleted [(LalSm)" < 0.57] and relatively primitive [Me/(Me + Fe2*) to 0.71, Cr to 460 ppml, with the most primitive samplesapproaching the composition of liquids in equilibrium with mantle peridotite. The spinelscover a wide range in Al and Cr contents,with spinel Cr/(Cr + Al) ranging from 0.20 to 0.54 for the entire suite. As in other depleted MORBs, TiO, and calculated FerO. contents in the spinels are low (0. 16- 0.85 and 5.5-9.2 wto/0,respectively). Contents of Al, Mg, and Fe of groundmassspinels strongly correlate with host-glasscomposition, but spinel Cr content shows little correla- tion with host-glassCr content. Castingof spinel compositions in terms of Mg-Fe'z*spinel- host liquid exchangeequilibria and in terms of the compositionally related crystallochem- ical effectson this exchangeshows that for a given lava suite derived from similar parental lavas, spinel Crl(Cr + Al) increasesand Mg/@g + Fe2+)decreases with the amount of Fe enrichment, Al depletion, and extent of fractionation [as representedby the normative ratio Diop/(Ol + Diop)l of the liquids in which they equilibrated.

The occurrences are in manganese-rich silicate rocks of middle to upper greenschist facies (Hoskins mine) and hornblende hornfels facies (Woods mine). Coexisting minerals are members of the namansilite-aegirine and pectolite-serandite series, Mn-rich alkali amphiboles, alkali feldspar, braunite, rhodonite, tephroite, albite, microcline, norrishite, witherite, manganoan calcite, quartz, and several unidentified minerals. Woods mine sugilite is colour-zoned with pale mauve cores and colourless rims, whereas Hoskins mine sugilite is only weakly colour-zoned and pink to mauve. Within single samples, the chemical compositions of sugilite from both localities show wide ranges in A1 contents and less variable ranges of Fe and Mn, similar to trends in sugilite from other localities. The refractive indices and cell dimensions tend to show systematic increases progressing from Al-rich to Fe- Mn-rich. The formation of the sugilite is controlled by the high alkali (especially Li) and manganese contents of the country rock, reflected in the occurrences of coexisting high alkali- and manganese- bearing minerals, and by high fo2 conditions.

They can be as small as golf balls or as big ment pore waters – that is, seawater that has been modi- as large potatoes. The nodules occur over extensive areas of the fied by chemical reactions within the sediment. vast, sediment-covered, abyssal plains of the global ocean in water depths of 4 000 to 6 500 metres, where temperatures are just above The metal oxides that make up the precipitate attach to a freezing, pressures are high, and no sunlight reaches (Figure 2). nucleus – perhaps something as small and common as a bit of shell or a shark’s tooth – and very slowly build up around The manganese and iron minerals in these concretions precipi- the nucleus in layers. Their mineralogy is simple: vernadite tate (form a solid) from the ambient, or surrounding, water in two (a form of manganese oxide) precipitates from seawater; ways (Figure 3): todorokite (another manganese oxide) precipitates from pore • hydrogenetically, in which the minerals precipitate from cold waters; and birnessite (a third manganese oxide) forms from ambient seawater; and the todorokite.
