Although fluid inclusions were apparently known to early naturalists, actual research on fluid and melt inclusions began only in the mid-1800s and grew very slowly for the next 100 years. Russian scientists began systematic studies of inclusions in the 1930s, but it was not until about 1960 that publications mentioning or using fluid inclusions began to increase from a few each year to the pres...

Coeval silicate melt and aqueous synthetic fluid inclusions were INTRODUCTION formed at 800°C and 2000 bars in the quartz-saturated haploIn recent years the study of silicate melt inclusions has granite–H2O–NaCl–KCl system. The equilibrium assemblage congained considerable popularity as a method to charsisted of Ab19·2Or31·1Qtz49·1 melt, quartz, and an aqueous solution acterize the PTX evolutio...

introduction arefi quartz-bearing conglomerate (middle jurassic) is situated within binalud structural zone. the unit is trending nw-se located 25 km south of mashhad. more than 97% of the pebbles are quartz as mono-crystalline, poly-crystalline, and minor fragments of chert, quartzite, and mica schist. less that 3% of the remaining minerals are feldspar, mica, chlorite, hornblende, tourmaline,...

Lithium isotopic compositions of fluid inclusions and hosted gangue quartz from a giant volcanogenic massive sulfide deposit in China provide robust evidence for inputting of magmatic fluids into a Triassic submarine hydrothermal system. The δ(7)Li results vary from +4.5‰ to +13.8‰ for fluid inclusions and from +6.7‰ to +21.0‰ for the hosted gangue quartz(9 gangue quartz samples containing prim...

Our new method incorporates fluid pressure communication into inclusion-based models of elastic wave velocities in porous rocks by defining effective elastic moduli for fluid-filled inclusions. We illustrate this approach with two models: (1) flow between nearest-neighbor pairs of inclusions and (2) flow through a network of inclusions that communicates fluid pressure throughout a rock sample. ...

Native lead, a rare mineral, occurs in a late-stage vein in the world’s largest lead – zinc – silver deposit, at Broken Hill, Australia. The lead-bearing vein consists mainly of laumontite, quartz, biotite and muscovite, together with minor amounts of lead, galena, sphalerite, molybdenite, and rare allanite-(Ce). Three types of fluid inclusions have been identified: two-phase brine inclusions l...
