Received: 6 April 2018; Accepted: 23 July 2018; Published: 31 July 2018 Abstract: Native iron has been identified in an active thermogenic travertine deposit, located at Ilia area (Euboea Island, Greece). The deposit is forming around a hot spring, which is part of a large active metallogenetic hydrothermal system depositing ore-bearing travertines. The native iron occurs in two shapes: nodules with diameter 0.4 and 0.45 cm, and angular grains with length up to tens of µm. The travertine laminae around the spherical/ovoid nodules grow smoothly, and the angular grains are trapped inside the pores of the travertine.

  • Heazlewooditeand Awaruite in Serpentinites of The
    HEAZLEWOODITEANDAWARUITE IN SERPENTINITESOF THE EASTERN TOWNSHIPS,QUEBEC J. A. CnaUBERLATN Geological,Suraey of Canail,a,Ottawa Awaruite of composition approximately NiaFe was shown by Nickel (1959) to be a common accessory phase in most serpentinites of the asbestos-producing belt in the Eastern Townships, Quebec. Nickel demonstrated that awaruite developed during the serpentinization process from nickel and iron already present in these rocks. Work on the distribution and genesis of native metals in the Muskox intrusion (Chamberlain, et aI, 1965) indicated that native metals could form by the decomposition of earlier-formed sulphides. For example, pentlandite was shown to decomposeto form avraruite plus iron sulphide, and chalcopyrite to native copper plus pyrrhotite. Some native iron may have been formed by the reduction of magnetite. Such reactions suggested that awaruite in the Eastern Townships could also have been formed by the decomposition of primary sulphides. This theory was checked by examination of 44 polished sections made from samples donated by A. S. Maclaren of the Geological Survey, and from samples collected during the 1965 field season*. The observed distribution of awaruite, heazle- woodite and magnetite in these sections is summarized in Table 1. Magnetite is present in g4 per cent of the sections in amounts exceeding 0.1 per cent. Most sections contain 1 per cent or more. It occurs as threads between ghost olivine or pyroxene crystals, as discrete, weakly euhedral grains, or as rims around primary chromite crystals. It is invariably in contact with serpentine. Magnetite is believed to have formed by reaction of magnesium-iron olivine or pyroxene with water to give magnesium serpentine plus magnetite at temperatures below 550o C.

The present contribution compiles the first scanning electron microscope/energy-dispersive (SEM/EDS) data on graphite-like amorphous carbon, with geochemical and mineral chemistry data, from chromitites of the Skyros, Othrys, Pindos, and Veria ophiolites (Greece). The aim of this study was the delineation of potential relationships between the modified composition of chromite and the role of redox conditions, during the long-term evolution of chromitites in a supra-subduction zone environment. Chromitites are characterized by a strong brittle (cataclastic) texture and the presence of phases indicative of super-reducing phases, such as Fe–Ni–Cr-alloys, awaruite (Ni3Fe), and heazlewoodite (Ni3S2). Carbon-bearing assemblages are better revealed on Au-coated unpolished sections. Graphite occurs in association with hydrous silicates (chlorite, serpentine) and Fe2+-chromite, as inclusions in chromite, filling cracks within chromite, or as nodule-like graphite aggregates. X-ray spectra of graphite–silicate aggregates showed the presence of C, Si, Mg, Al, O in variable proportions, and occasionally K and Ca.

If a gate is open or closed leave it that way. • A farm is the owner’s livelihood and if they say no dogs, then please respect this. • When driving on riverbeds keep to marked tracks or park on the bank and walk to your fishing spot. • Never push in on a pool occupied by another angler. If you are in any doubt have a chat and work out who goes where. • However, if agreed to share the pool then always enter behind any angler already there. • Move upstream or downstream with every few casts (unless you are alone).
