Calcite is a common gangue mineral in hydrothermal deposit especially for the carbonate-hosted Pb–Zn deposit and incorporates Fe, Mn, Mg and trace amounts of REE because of the institution between Ca 2+ and REE 3+, the fractionation of REE can be mainly caused by several ways such as redox condition change, temperature variation and the …
We propose that carbonate-buffered fluid mixing is a critical process for forming post-sedimentary Zn ± Pb ± Ba deposits in sedimentary carbonate rocks.
Abstract The Huize Zn-Pb- (Ag-Ge) district is a typical representative of the well-known medium-to large-sized carbonate-hosted Zn-Pb- (Ag-Ge) deposits, occurring in the Sichuan-Yunnan-Guizhou Pb-Zn Ore-forming Zone. Generally, fluid inclusions within calcite, one of the major gangue minerals, are dominated by two kinds of small (1–10 μm) inclusions …

As a major gangue mineral in many types of hydrothermal deposits, calcite hosts a suite of rare earth elements and yttrium (REYs) via the substitution of Ca 2+ by the trivalent REY ions into the crystal lattice (Shannon, 1976, Bau, 1991, Bau and Möller, 1992, Zhong and Mucci, 1995). Because of the elemental behavioral change with increasing atomic number (i.e., …
Zhou et al. considered the mineralization in the Huize Zn-Pb ore field is related to the closure of the paleo-Tethys ocean, so they supported an Eocene age.
