La composición isotópica del azufre en sulfuros (8 34S) de las mineralizaciones tipo sedimentario-exhalativo del Ordovícico superior del valle de Arán (Pirineos Centrales) varía entre +3,5 y +15,1 %0 en los encajados en carbonatos y entre -2,7 y +5,5 %0 en los encajados en materiales detríticos. Estos valores sugieren que dichos depósitos se formaron a partir de dos fuentes de azufre distintas: una originada por reducción de sulfato de origen marino y otra por lixiviación de materiales detríticos y/o volcánicos de edad cambro-ordovícica. El metamorfismo Hercínico no ha afectado significativamente las composiciones isotópicas originales de los sulfuros y las variaciones de la 8 34S de los mismos en cada una de las dos litologías encajantes, podrían explicarse por pequeños cambios en la f0 2, temperatura o pH durante la formación de los depósitos. La composición isotópica del plomo de 6 galenas analizadas presenta las relaciones siguientes: 18,02 ::; ABSTRACTThe sulfur isotopic composition of sulfides from sedex-type deposits enclosed within Upper Ordovician rocks in the valle de Arán (Central Pyrenees) ranges from +3.5 to + 15.1 %0 in mineralizations enclosed in carbonates and from -2.7 %0 to +5.5 in mineralizations enclosed in detritic rocks. These values suggest two different sources of sulfur: a heavy source of crustal origin, probably related to the reduction of seawater sulfate, and a lighter one, resulting from leaching of underlying detritic and/or volcanic rocks of cambro-ordovician age. Hercynian metamorphism has not significantly altered the original sulfur isotopic composition of sulfides and their variation at the deposit scale can be explained by changes in T, pH or f0 2 during sulfide deposition. Lead isotope composition of 6 galena samples have the following ratios: 18.02::; 206Pbp04Pb ::; 18.08; 15.66 ::; 207PbP04Pb::; 15.70 and 38.16 s 208PbP04Pb ::; 38.29, similar to those reported by Marcoux (1987) in the Pierrefitte deposits (Central Pyrenees, France). These values are very homogeneous and suggest alead source situated within the upper crust. Calculated ages based on Cumming and Richards (1975) lead evolution model range from 422 to 452 m.a. (Upper Ordovician), which is the age of the enclosing rocks. These data confirm the hypothesis of a sedimentary-exhalative origin of the deposits.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
