Aspectos químicos de la magnetita y clorita de las

Abstract

The chemical characteristics of the magnetites and the chlorites from Ordovician ironstones of Zamora are described in this paper. The unusually Hig contents of Ti, V, Cr. Ba and Ni magnetite indicates, probably, the existence of a basic precursor in the sourceland and Co/Ni ratio <1 that suggests a sedimentary origin to itself. Also it shows a clear depletion in Eu and a light enrichment in Ce. The latter, together with the S 1sO value ranging from 3.6 to 8.6, also suggest a diagenetic or metamorphic origin to the magnetite.Starting from the major elements contents o f the chamosite, the T. fO2 and fS2 have been estimated ranging from 234 to 312°C , log fO2 from-36 to -31,4 and log fS2from-11,9 to-9,8 respectively. These T are compatible with the metamorphism ones that affected this area during the Hercynian Orogeny, showing essentially a metamorphic origin to the chamosite
