Petrography and microthermometry of fluid inclusions in apatite in the Turamdih uranium deposit, Singhbhum shear zone, eastern India - An insight into ore forming Fluid

摘要

The Singbhum shear zone is one of most important polymetallic mineralized zone, characterized by uranium, Cu and apatite-magnetite mineralization. Although there is unanimity regarding the hydrothermal nature of different ores, the fluid characters, particularly related to apatite-magnetite mineralization, are not very well-constrained. This study aims at deciphering the fluid character involved in apatite-magnetite and associated mineralization through fluid inclusion studies in apatite from apatite-magnetite-bearing uranium ores in the Turamdih uranium deposit.
