Carbonate hosted lead zinc ore deposits
Source The source of sulfur and metals within carbonate-hosted lead-zinc ore deposits is the host carbonate sequence where diagenetic recrystallisation of low-temperature calcite into a higher-temperature aragonite form prompts adsorbed zinc to be metamorphically ejected from the crystal lattice of the carbonate minerals. The zinc then enters the formational solutions and typically forms a chelated bond with hydrocarbons which typically contain sulfur. Transport The low-temperature hydrothermal solution formed by diagenetic recrystallization of the carbonates then migrates into stratigraphic highs, such as folds, and typically also concentrates in fault zones at the margins of basement grabens. If the solutions are not trapped successfully within the carbonate host, it is possible for the hydrothermal fluids to leak out into the ocean basin and form SEDEX lead-zinc deposits.
Trap The trap for carbonate-hosted lead-zinc sulfides is a chemical reaction which occurs as a consequence of concentration of sulfur, often hydrocarbons, and zinc and lead which are adsorbed by the hydrocarbons. The hydrocarbons can either leak out of the fault zone or fold hinge, leaving a stockwork of weakly mineralized carbonate-sulfide veins, or can degrade via pyrolysis in place to form bitumens. Once hydrocarbons are converted to bitumen, their ability to chelate metal ions and sulfur is reduced and results in these elements being expelled into the fluid, which becomes saturated in zinc, lead, iron and sulfur. Sulfide minerals such as galena, sphalerite, marcasite and pyrite thus form. Commonly MVT deposits form by the combination of hydrocarbon pyrolysis liberating zinc-lead ions and sulfur to form an acidic solution which dissolves the host carbonate formation and replaces it with massive sulfide accumulations.
This may also take the morphology of fault-hosted stockworks, massive tabular replacements and so forth. Porous limestones may form disseminated ores, however most MVT deposits are massive sulfides with knife-like margins between carbonate and sulfide mineralogies. Mineralogy and alteration Ore minerals in carbonate replacement deposits are typically lead sulfide, galena, and zinc sulfide sphalerite. Weathered equivalents form anglesite, cerussite, hydrozincite and secondary galena and sphalerite within the supergene zone. MVT and Irish type deposits are commonly associated with a 'dolomite front' alteration, which manifests as a yellow-cream wash of dolomite (calcium-magnesium carbonate) within calcite-aragonite assemblages of unaltered carbonate formations. Most ore bodies are quite sulfidic, and most are very low-iron, with pyrite-marcasite contents typically below 30% of the mass of sulfides. This makes MVT lead-zinc deposits particularly easy to treat from a metallurgical view. Some MVT deposits can, however, be very iron-rich and some sulfide replacement and alteration zones are associated with no lead-zinc at all, resulting in massive accumulations of pyrite-marcasite, which are essentially worthless. There is sometimes an association with quartz veining and colloform silica, however silicate gangue minerals are often rare. Oil synergies The importance and synergies between hydrocarbon source-transport-trap 'fairways' and MVT and Irish Type lead-zinc deposits has been known for several decades. Often the prospectivity of particular carbonate formations for lead-zinc deposits of this nature is first identified by core drilling by oil explorers. This concept of a cogeneration of hydrocarbons and precursor brines by the same process allows many lead-zinc explorers to use hydrocarbon basin models to predict if a carbonate sequence is likely to host MVT or Irish Type mineralization. Exploration Exploration for MVT deposits is relatively complex in theory and straightforward in practise. During the area selection phase, attention must be paid to the nature of the carbonate sequences, especially if there is a 'dolomite front' alteration identified within oil exploration wells, which is commonly associated with lead-zinc mineralisation. Thereafter, attention must be paid to picking floral facies of any reef carbonates formed from coral reef accumulations. The facies of the carbonate sequence is critical, as this is controlled mostly by faults which are the ultimate target of exploration.
A fore-reef/back-reef transition is the 'sweet spot', and thus depending on the age of the carbonate sequence, familiarity with coral palaeontology is considered essential. Finally, once a basin model of the carbonate sequence is formulated, and the primary basin-margin faults are roughly identified, a gravity survey is often carried out, which is the only geophysical technique which can directly detect MVT deposits. Gravity surveys aim to detect significant accumulations of lead and zinc due to their greater density relative to their surrounding host rocks. Finally, the 'pointy end' of an exploration programme is to drill each and every one of the gravity targets in sequence, with no favour or prejudice given to the strength or amplitude of any anomaly. It is well known that unsubtle and unsophisticated methods of pattern drilling have found MVT deposits missed by more selective explorers, for instance the Lennard Shelf Deposits in Western Australia were found on the second last hole of an extensive drilling programme. Similar deposit styles Similar deposit styles may be encountered in sheared and deformed carbonate belts where zinc-lead sulfides are hosted at the sheared contact of carbonates with siliciclastic sequences.
Examples include the Dharwar Basin zinc-lead deposits, India where sulfides are hosted in shears within dolomite sequences.

Questions & Answers about Aragonite Crystal
Saltwater ph problem!!!!?
Im just beginning a saltwater aquarium. I bought 22 pounds of live rock and 20 pounds of carribasea live aragonite sand for my 20 gallon aquarium. Its been setup for 2 days now and the gravity is at 1.023 but the ph is at 7.8. I use reef crystals for my salt and the ammonia ia at the highest level and the nitrite is at 1.0. I even bought a additive ph buffer to increase the ph but after using it yesterday the ph has dropped from 8.3 to 7.8 so the buffer has proven not to work after initially raising the ph and now dropping it. What is the cause of the ph to be low and how can i permanently fix it?
You need your salinity to be at least 1.024 for starters 1.025 even better. Most of the micro life on rocks need at least this level to survive. Snails are very sensitive to this. Your salt is mixed so that when mixed to a level of 1.024 will give you a ph of 8.2 the ideal level. anything less than 1.024 will give you lower levels of trace elements. PH is light and therefor time of day sensitive. So if you test ph at the end of the day your tanks ph will be at its highest. If you test ph in the morning or in the early period of your light cycle ph will test the lowest. Always test ph at lights on and lights off to know what your highest and lowest ph levels are. You do not want to go below 7.7 or over 8.4 .
Never try to adjust PH> test alkalinity levels and make sure they are at least 8 DKH 9 DKH is a little better. As long as your Alkalinity is at these levels low PH is not a problem, and ph will not go over the safe HIGH level.
