Easily altered minerals and reequilibrated fluid inclusions provide extensive records of fluid and thermal history: gypsum pseudomorphs of the Tera Group, Tithonian-Berriasian, Cameros Basin

Abstract: This study reports a complex fluid and thermal history using petrography, electron microprobe, isotopic analysis and fluid inclusions in replacement minerals within gypsum pseudomorphs in Tithonian-Berriasian lacustrine deposits in Northern Spain. Limestones and dolostones, formed in the alkaline lakes, contain lenticularly shaped gypsum pseudomorphs, considered to form in an evaporative lake. The gypsum was replaced by quartz and non-ferroan calcite (Ca-2), which partially replaces the quartz. Quartz contains… Show more

“…This is commonly referred to as mineral pseudomorphism. Under certain conditions, mineral pseudomorphs can even record some crystallographic, chemical, or even isotopic information from the parent phases. Moreover, the composition of the fluids that promote mineral replacement is occasionally recorded in the pseudomorphs, providing interesting information about the replacement environment. , Therefore, the investigation of the interplay between the kinetics of dissolution–crystallization reactions and the composition of fluids, parent phases, and pseudomorphs is fundamental to gain a better understanding of geological processes such as diagenesis, metamorphism, and formation of sedimentary and secondary minerals during weathering.…”
