Spheroidal Dolomite, Mg-Kutnohorite, and a New Mineral Occurrence of Boracite in Death Valley CA, USA: Implications for Genesis and Paleoenvironmental Interpretations. (4535) Authors: B.J. Buck* - Univ. Nevada Las Vegas S. Mrozek - Univ. Nevada Las Vegas D. Merkler - NRCS Las Vegas NV B. Harrison - New Mexico Tech Univ. Socorro NM L. Lato - NRCS Las Vegas NV Abstract: Spheroidal dolomite has been interpreted to form in numerous depositional environments including: (1) the oxidation of surface hydrocarbon seepages combined with bacterial activity and groundwater flow, (2) precipitation in ponds and peritidal depositional environments, (3) precipitation from hypersaline water and mixed saline-fresh water, and (4) phreatic precipitation. In this study, we find spheroidal forms of dolomite, calcite, Mg-calcite, and Mg- kutnahorite (sometimes spelled kutnohorite) in pedogenic pendants in an aridic, hyperthermic soil in Death Valley, California. Pedogenic minerals present include calcite, calcite/Mg-calcite, Mg-calcite, dolomite, Mg-kutnahorite, ankerite, boracite, gypsum, aragonite, halite, anhydrite, and sepiolite/palygorskite. This is the first documentation of the pedogenic formation of boracite, ankerite, and kutnahorite in a modern soil. Spheroids are 5-50 microns, (rarely up to 400 microns) in size, contain split growth, and are commonly hollow. No evidence of a water table is present within the soil profile; the extreme aridity of the study area, coupled with topographic position of the geomorphic surface, makes it extremely unlikely that this site had a high water table in the past. The results of this study support a pedogenic (and probably bacterial) origin for spheroidal dolomite, calcite/Mg-calcite, and Mg-kutnohorite in these arid soils.

Zhu et al. Geochem Trans (2021) 22:1 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12932-021-00075-1 Geochemical Transactions RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Dissolution and solubility of calcite-rhodochrosite solid solutions [(Ca1-xMnx)CO3] at 25 °C Yinian Zhu1* , Peijie Nong1, Nan Mo1, Zongqiang Zhu2,3*, Huan Deng1, Shen Tang2, Hongqu Yang1, Lihao Zhang2 and Xingxing Wang1 Abstract A complete series of calcite-rhodochrosite solid solutions [(Ca1-xMnx)CO3] are prepared, and their dissolution pro- cesses in various water samples are experimentally investigated. The crystal morphologies of the solid solutions vary from blocky spherical crystal aggregates to smaller spheres with an increasing incorporation of Mn in the solids. Regarding dissolution in N2-degassed water, air-saturated water and CO2-saturated water at 25 °C, the aqueous Ca and Mn concentrations reach their highest values after 1240–2400 h, 6–12 h and < 1 h, respectively, and then decrease gradually to a steady state; additionally, the ion activity products (log_IAP) at the fnal steady state ( solubil- ity products in log_K ) are estimated to be 8.46 0.06, 8.44 0.10 and 8.59 0.10 for calcite [CaCO ], ≈respec- sp − ± − ± − ± 3 tively, and 10.25 0.08, 10.26 0.10 and 10.28 0.03, for rhodochrosite [MnCO3], respectively.

Petrologic Evidence for a Rhodochrosite Precursor of Spessartine in Coticules of the Venn-Stavelot Massif, Belgium
Petrologic evidence for a rhodochrosite precursor of spessartine in coticules of the Venn-Stavelot Massif, Belgium W. SCHREYER, H.-J. BERNHARDT AND O. MEDENBACH Institut for Mincralogie, Ruhr-Universit~it Bochum, Germany Abstract Minute CaMg-bearing rhodochrosite inclusions were discovered in spessartine crystals of small coticule globules enclosed within redschists that form the country rock of the famous coticule bands of Belgium. This points to a former metamorphic reaction relationship between the two minerals, such as rhodochrosite + pyrophyllite = spessartine + quartz + CO2 + H20. The coexistence of spessartine with Mg-chlorite in the coticule globule could also indicate more complex reactions such as rhodochrosite + sudoite + quartz = spessartine + Mg-chlorite + CO2 + H20. Our finding casts some doubt on the suggestion by Kramm (1976) that spessartine formed from Mn-montmorillonite in previously glassy volcanic tufts. KEVWORDS: rhodochrosite, spessartine, coticule, Venn-Stavelot Massif, Belgium. Introduction Geukens (1984) as well as Lamens et al. (1986) favour carbonate-bearing protoliths as they are THE term coticule is applied world-wide to bands actually found in lower-grade portions of the of essentially spessartine quartzites occurring in massif.

It is interesting to Perhaps the most famous coticules, to which note in this connection that trace element studies the name meaning whetstone was originally of both coticules and red-schists yield virtually applied, are those of the Venn-Stavelot Massif of identical spectra for both rock types (Krosse, Belgium (Renard, 1878; Lessuise, 1981).

The studied minerals belong to the carbonate group [kutnohorite, Ca(Mn2+, 2+ 2+ Mg,Fe )(CO3)2, from Sasa mine] and to the inosilicate subgroup [carpholite, Mn Al2Si2O6(OH)4, from Vrbsko 2+ 2+ locality; rhodonite (Mn ,Fe ,Mg,Ca)SiO3, from Sasa mine]. Carousel facility of the 250 kW TRIGA reactor and multielement technique k0-instrumental neutron activation analysis (k0-INAA) were used for irradiation and for the determination of the elements content. Using intermediate/medium and long half-life radionuclides, in total, thirty- eight elements in the investigated minerals were determined.

A Mineral Physics Perspective a Dissertation Submitted in Partial
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Carbon in the Deep Earth: A Mineral Physics Perspective A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Geochemistry by Sarah Eileen Maloney Palaich 2016 © Copyright by Sarah Eileen Maloney Palaich 2016 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Carbon in the Deep Earth: A Mineral Phyiscs Perspective by Sarah Eileen Maloney Palaich Doctor of Philosophy in Geochemistry University of California, Los Angeles, 2016 Professor Abby Kavner, Co-Chair Professor Craig E. Manning, Co-Chair Carbon is an essential component to life on Earth, and plays a role in the carbon cycle at the surface of the Earth. Beyond these surface interactions lies the deep carbon cycle. This cycle controls the flux of carbon subducting into the earth and provides clues as a possible carbon reservoir in the deep earth. The studies included in this dissertation examine various forms of carbonate under high pressure, high temperature conditions found in the deep earth. Carbon is subducted as carbonate in calcite, aragonite and dolomite, as elemental carbon or as CO2. To achieve these the high pressures experienced by subducting material, diamond anvil cells are ii used to expose milligrams of material to extremem conditions. The experiments detailed here were conducted using a wide range of diamond anvil cell techniques and the data was collected at numerous synchrotron and neutron diffraction facilities across the globe including the Advanced Light Source, Lawrence Berekely National Laboratory, the Spallation Neutron Source, Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility, Grenoble France. These experiments are the result of fruitful collaborations that brought scientist from around the globe together to study the thermoelastic properties of carbonate and CO2.
