1. © A SULFUR ISOTOPE STUDY OF VOLCANOGENIC MASSIVE SULFIDE DEPOSITS OF THE EASTERN BLACK-SEA PROVINCE, TURKEY CAGATAY, MN; EASTOE, CJ SPRINGER VERLAG, MINERALIUM DEPOSITA; pp: 55-66; Vol: 30 King Fahd University of Petroleum & Minerals http://www.kfupm.edu.sa Summary Kuroko-type massive sulfide deposits of the Eastern Black Sea province of Turkey are related to the Upper Cretaceous felsic lavas and pyroclastic rocks, and associated with clay and carbonate alteration zones in the footwall and hangingwall lithologies. A complete upward-vertical section of a typical orebody consists of a stringer- disseminated sulfide zone composed mainly of pyrite and chalcopyrite; a massive pyrite zone; a massive yellow ore consisting mainly of chalcopyrite and pyrite; a black ore made up mainly of galena and sphalerite with minor amounts of chalcopyrite, bornite, pyrite and various sulfosalts; and a barite zone. Most of the deposits in the province are associated with gypsum in the footwall or hangingwall. The paragenetic sequence in the massive ore is pyrite, sphalerite, chalcopyrite, bornite, galena and various sulfosalts, with some overlap between the mineral phases. Massive, stringer and disseminated sulfides from eight kuroko-type VMS deposits of the Eastern Black Sea province have a delta(34)S range of 0-7 per mil, consistent with the delta(34)S range of felsic igneous rocks. Sulfides in the massive ore at Madenkoy (4.3-6.1 per mil) differ isotopically from sulfides in the stringer zone (6.3-7.2 per mil) suggesting a slightly increased input of H2S derived from marine sulfate with time. Barite and coarse-grained gypsum have a delta(34)S range of 17.7-21.5 per mil, a few per mil higher than the delta(34)S value of contemporaneous seawater sulfate. The deposits may, therefore, have formed in restricted basins in which bacterial reduction of sulfate was taking place. Fine-grained, disseminated gypsum at Kutlular and Tunca has delta(34)S values (2.6-6.1 per mil) overlapping those of ore sulfides, indicating Copyright: King Fahd University of Petroleum & Minerals; http://www.kfupm.edu.sa
