| sample_remark | Elburg et al. (2012, 2013): Ore consisting largely of iron oxide, with hematite and Mn (hydr)oxides overgrowing and/or replacing magnetite. Monazite is an important minor phase. Barite veins crosscut some ores, and fluorite and quartz appear to be late phases too. Apart from iron and manganese, the ores are also enriched in Cu and U, and sometimes in Mo and As as well. ARK732 contains more than 2000 ppm U, but has low Th (9 ppm), and very high concentrations of REE and strong LREE enrichment (Ce = 2500 ppm), Ba (19,000 ppm) and Cu (1400 ppm). U concentrations are typically detectable by EDS, but are significantly lower than for the granitoid-derived monazites. Monazite crystals from the different samples fall in distinct groups, and the most notable feature of these analyses is the paradoxically low U content of the monazites within the U-ore. |
