  • Mineralogy, Fluid Inclusion, and Stable Isotope Studies of the Hog Heaven Mining District, Flathead County, Montana
    Montana Tech Library Digital Commons @ Montana Tech Graduate Theses & Non-Theses Student Scholarship Spring 2020 MINERALOGY, FLUID INCLUSION, AND STABLE ISOTOPE STUDIES OF THE HOG HEAVEN MINING DISTRICT, FLATHEAD COUNTY, MONTANA Ian Kallio Follow this and additional works at: https://digitalcommons.mtech.edu/grad_rsch Part of the Geological Engineering Commons MINERALOGY, FLUID INCLUSION, AND STABLE ISOTOPE STUDIES OF THE HOG HEAVEN MINING DISTRICT, FLATHEAD COUNTY, MONTANA by Ian Kallio A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Science in Geoscience Geology Option Montana Tech 2020 ii Abstract The Hog Heaven mining district in northwestern Montana is unique in that it is a high- sulfidation epithermal system containing high Ag-Pb-Zn relative to Au-Cu, with a very high Ag to Au ratio (2,330:1). The deposits are hosted within the Cenozoic Hog Heaven volcanic field (HHVF), a 30 to 36 Ma suite that consists predominantly of rhyodacite flow-dome complexes and pyroclastic rocks. The HHVF is underlain by shallow-dipping siliclastic sediments of the Mesoproterozoic Belt Supergroup. These sediments are known to host important SEDEX (e.g., Sullivan) and red-bed copper (e.g., Spar Lake, Rock Creek, Montanore) deposits rich in Ag-Pb- Zn-Cu-Ba. The HHVF erupted through and deposited on the Belt strata during a period of Oligocene extension. Outcrops and drill core samples from Hog Heaven show alteration patterns characteristic of volcanic-hosted, high-sulfidation epithermal deposits. Vuggy quartz transitions laterally into quartz-alunite alteration where large sanidine phenocrysts (up to 4 cm) have been replaced by fine-grained, pink alunite, and/or argillic alteration that is marked by an abundance of white kaolinite-dickite clay.

  • Theoretical Studies on As and Sb Sulfide Molecules
    Mineral Spectroscopy: A Tribute to Roger G. Bums © The Geochemical Society, Special Publication No.5, 1996 Editors: M. D. Dyar, C. McCammon and M. W. Schaefer Theoretical studies on As and Sb sulfide molecules J. A. TOSSELL Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry University of Maryland, College Park, MD 20742, U.S.A. Abstract-Dimorphite (As4S3) and realgar and pararealgar (As4S4) occur as crystalline solids con- taining As4S3 and As4S4 molecules, respectively. Crystalline As2S3 (orpiment) has a layered structure composed of rings of AsS3 triangles, rather than one composed of discrete As4S6 molecules. When orpiment dissolves in concentrated sulfidic solutions the species produced, as characterized by IR and EXAFS, are mononuclear, e.g. ASS3H21, but solubility studies suggest trimeric species in some concentration regimes. Of the antimony sulfides only Sb2S3 (stibnite) has been characterized and its crystal structure does not contain Sb4S6 molecular units. We have used molecular quantum mechanical techniques to calculate the structures, stabilities, vibrational spectra and other properties of As S , 4 3 As4S4, As4S6, As4SIO, Sb4S3, Sb4S4, Sb4S6 and Sb4SlO (as well as S8 and P4S3, for comparison with previous calculations). The calculated structures and vibrational spectra are in good agreement with experiment (after scaling the vibrational frequencies by the standard correction factor of 0.893 for polarized split valence Hartree-Fock self-consistent-field calculations). The calculated geometry of the As4S. isomer recently characterized in pararealgar crystals also agrees well with experiment and is calculated to be about 2.9 kcal/mole less stable than the As4S4 isomer found in realgar. The calculated heats of formation of the arsenic sulfide gas-phase molecules, compared to the elemental cluster molecules As., Sb, and S8, are smaller than the experimental heats of formation for the solid arsenic sulfides, but shown the same trend with oxidation state.

  • Brushite and Taranakite from Pig Hole Cave, Giles County, Virginia
    BRUSHITE AND TARANAKITE FROM PIG HOLE CAVE, GILES COUNTY, VIRGINIA Jonw W. MunnAv, Department oJ Chemistry, and Rrcnano V. Drrrnrcu, Departmenl.of Geo- logical S ciences,V ir ginia P olytechnicI nstitute, Blacksburg, Virginia. Ansrnacr Brushite occurs as nodular massesof platy crystals in the lower part of a bat guano and hair deposit in Pig Hole Cave, Giles County, Virginia. Taranakite occurs as flour-like masses near contacts between the guano and hair deposit and clay and along fractures within brecciated clay within the same cave. Chemical, physical, optical, r-ray, and thermal data for each of these minerals are presented. Some of the thermal data for brushite ano many of the data for taranakite are reported here for the first time. It is suggested that the taranakite formed as the result of reactions between the bat guano and bat hair and clay. Iwrnorucuow The presenceof the minerals later identified as brushite and taranakite in a bat guano and hair deposit in Pig Hole Cave, Giles County, Virginia, was discoveredin January, 1954. So far as has been ascertainedby a search of the literature, this is the first reported natural occurrence of either brushite or taranakite in the United States of America. After posi- tive identification of the minerals, further investigations of them were undertaken mainly becauseof their relative abundance within the cave. Locar,try AND OccURRENCES Pig Hole Cave is located beneath the property of A. B. Porterfield on Johns Creek Mountain in southeastern Giles County, southwestern Virginia. The cave was so named becauseof the former presencewithin it of the odoriferous remains of a pig lodged in a crawlway beneath the natural opening to the cave.

  • Mineralogical Reconnaissance of Caves from Mallorca Island
    ENDINS, núm. 27. 2005. Mallorca MINERALOGICAL RECONNAISSANCE OF CAVES FROM MALLORCA ISLAND by Bogdan P. ONAC 1, Joan J. FORNÓS 2, Àngel GINÉS 3 and Joaquín GINÉS 2 Resum S’han fet prospeccions des d’un punt de vista mineralògic a divuit cavitats de l’illa de Mallorca. Han estat identificats, mitjançant anàlisis de difracció de raigs-X, infraroigs, tèrmics i microscopia electrònica (SEM), 16 minerals que s’engloben dins de quatre grups químics diferents. La calcita ha estat l’únic mineral present a totes les cavitats prospeccionades. En espeleotemes de quatre coves diferents s’ha iden- tificat aragonita, guix i hidroxilapatita. Endemés, també han estat identificats alguns altres minerals dels grups dels carbonats, fosfats i silicats, presents en forma de crostes, cristalls diminuts o masses terroses. Els mecanismes responsables de la deposició mineral en les coves de Mallorca són: (i) precipitació a partir de l’aigua de percolació, (ii) precipitació en la zona de mescla (aigua dolça – aigua marina), (iii) reacció entre la roca encaixant i diversos espeleotemes, i les solucions enriquides en fosfats procedents del guano de les rates pinyades, i (iv) transició de fases mi- nerals. Des del punt de vista de la mineralogia, la Cova de sa Guitarreta i la Cova de ses Rates Pinyades s’han confirmat com a dues de les coves més destacables; cada una d’elles presenta vuit autèntics minerals de cova. L’associació de fosfats que contenen és diversa i interessant. Abstract Eighteen caves on the Mallorca Island were investigated with respect to their mineralogy. Sixteen minerals, divided into four chemical groups, were identified and described using X-ray diffraction, infrared, thermal, and scanning electron microsco- pe analyses.

  • Minerals of the Hydrotalcite Group in Metasomatically Altered Carbonate Rocks from Zawiercie, S Poland
    MINERALOGIA POLONICA Vol. 32, No 1, 2001 PL ISSSN 0032-6267 Ewa KOSZOWSKA1, Dorota SAŁATA1 MINERALS OF THE HYDROTALCITE GROUP IN METASOMATICALLY ALTERED CARBONATE ROCKS FROM ZAWIERCIE, S POLAND A b s t a c t . Minerals of the hydrotalcite-manasseite group were identified in samples from two borehols in Zawiercie (ZMZ-9, RK-1). The minerals were found in calciphire bodies (RK-1) and in one small, metasomatic veinlet (ZMZ-9) formed in Middle Devonian dolomites. Alteration of dolomitic sediments was genetically connected with infiltration fluids that caused formation of a gamet-pyroxene skam. Inves­ tigations have revealed the presence of both hydrotalcite and manasseite. Besides, in few places of the veinlet there occurs a mineral, which has been recognized as iowaite. Key-words: hydrotalcite-manasseite group, calciphires, ska ms, metasomatic veins, Zawiercie, S Poland INTRODUCTION The hydrotalcite group minerals belong to a large group of natural and synthetic dihydroxides named also as "layered double hydroxides" or "anionic clays". Their general formula can be written as: M |2XM (0 H)2 (Am“)x/mn H 2 0 (where M+2, M +3 are cations in the hydroxide layers and Am_ is the interlayer anion) and is based on positively charged brucite-like layers with C 03-like anions and water molecules in interlayer positions (Drits et al. 1987) (Fig. la). Within the group, depending on the composition of the octahedral brucite-type cationic layers, three subgroups can be distinguished in which the cations are: a) M g +2 + Al+3, b) Mg +2 + Fe+3 , c) M g + 2 + C r+3.

Alkali volcanics are also locally present, pointing to regional differences in igneous processes. Many ma- terials from ancient Mars bear the mineralogic fingerprints of interaction with water. Clay minerals, found in exposures of Noachian crust across the globe, preserve widespread evidence for early weathering, hydrothermal, and diagenetic aqueous environments. Noachian and Hesperian sediments include paleolake deposits with clays, carbonates, sulfates, and chlorides that are more localized in extent.

Crimsonite occurs in subparallel aggregates of deep red blades or plates flattened on {100} and up to 0.1 mm in maximum dimension. The streak is light purplish orange. Crystals are transparent and have adamantine lustre. The Mohs hardness is ∼3½, the tenacity is brittle, the fracture is irregular to splintery and an imperfect cleavage is likely on {101}. The calculated density is 5.180 g/cm3. Crimsonite is optically biaxial (+), with 2V = 85.5(5)° and γ – α = 0.011. Using the Gladstone- Dale relationship, the calculated indices of refraction are α = 2.021, β = 2.026 and γ = 2.032.
