Abstract The active sulfide chimney ore sampled from the flank of the active Tiger chimney in the Yonaguni Knoll IV hydrothermal system, South Okinawa Trough, consists of anhydrite, pyrite, shalerite, galena, chalcopyrite and bismuthinite. Electron microprobe analyses indicated that the chalcopyrite and bismuthinite contain up to 2.4 wt. % Sn and 1.7 wt. % Pt, respectively. The high Sn-bearing chalcopyrite and Pt-bearing bismuthinite are the first occurrence of such minerals on the submarine hydrothermal systems so far reported. The results confirm that the Sn enters the chalcopyrite as a solid solution towards stannite by the coupled substitution of Sn 4+ Fe 2+ for Fe 3+ Fe 3+ while Pt enters the bismuthinite structure as a solid solution during rapid growth. The homogenization temperature of the fluid inclusions in anhydrite (220-310℃) and metasured end-member temperature of the vent fluids (325℃) indicate that the minerals are precipitated as metastable phases at temperature around 300℃. The Sn-bearing chalcopyrite and Pt-bearing bismuthinite expess the original composition of the minerals deposited from a hydrothermal fluid with temperatures of about 300℃.

Title Alternative Automatic measurement of oxygen isotope ratio of water samples

Abstract The automatic sample preparation system for oxygen isotope analysis of natural water samples was constructed. The system is essentially a modification of that originally designed by W. Dansgaard in the University of Copenhagen. Sixty water samples of 5 ml each are automatically equilibrated with CO(2) of 30 ml NTP each within 4.5 hours. The equilibrated CO(2) gases are successively measured for their oxygen isotopic ratios by an automatic mas-sspectrometer, VG903. The time required for the measurement of the 60 CO(2) samples is about 15 hours; thus approximately 20 hours are required to complete the isotopic measurements of 60 water samples. The accuracy of the oxygen isotopic analyses is about 0.1%. The result of oxygen isotopic analyses by the automatic preparation system agrees with that of the conventional method within about +0.1%. The results indicate that the automatic preparation system is applicable for the oxygen isotope analysis of natural water samples.
