Abstract
Proton-induced X-ray (PIXE) analyses on a micro-scale of trace-element
(TE) variations in metamorphic and hydrothermal minerals can provide
insights into fluid-flow processes in lithospheric environments. The Los
Alamos nuclear microprobe was used to determine in situ TE abundances in
minerals from the Ubehebe Peak contact aureole and from Apennine
ophicalcites. In these two crustal environments, known to have
experienced significant fluid flow, TE variability in minerals zoning in
grains, analyses of multiple mineral generations in single samples, and
analyses of grains from spatially-resolved hand-samples provides
information on the chemical evolution of fluid-flow systems during
geologic processes. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.
