Geochemistry of calcite veins : records of fluid mixing and fluid-rock interaction

• Detailed geochemical investigations of calcite veins, genetically related to intrusions and vein-hosting bedrock, have been used to indicate fluid evolution during intrusion-related hydrothermal mineralization, involving fluid mixing and water rock interaction. The area of investigation is located in the southeast of Sweden. The 1.85 Ga granitoid country rocks and the 0.9 Ga dolerite vein-related intrusions differ in chemical, geochemical, and stable isotope composition. The variation in rare earth and stable isotope composition across calcite veins and the presence of two groups of fluid inclusions suggests mixing of two types of fluids. Light rare earth enrichment and increasing Sr-87/Sr-86-ratios suggest water rock interaction of one/both fluids. (C) 2013 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.
