Theory teaching
Introduction. General terms about mineral deposits. Spatial and temporal evolution of mineral deposits. Metallogenic units and epochs. Mineral and elementary composition of ore bodies. Ore textures and structures. Analysis of genetic models of the following series, groups and classes of mineral deposits: 1- Endogenous mineral deposits: a- magmatic (liquid segregation, orthomagmatic crystalline differentation and magma injection ore deposits), b- magmatic-hydrothermal (carbonatite and pegmatite ore deposites), c- postmagmatic ore deposits (skarn deposits, greissen and albitite ore deposits, ore deposits related to granite intrusions, ore deposits realted to volcanic complexes, volcanic ore deposits, hydrothermal VMS deposits, porphyry ore deposits, Missisipi valley ore deposits). 2- exogenous mineral deposits: a- desintegration deposits (laterite ore deposits, infiltration ore deposits, supergene enrichment ore deposits), b- sedimentary ore deposits ( deposits of clastic sediments, deposits of chemical sediments, biogene sedimentary ore deposits. 3- Metamorphogenic mineral deposits: metamorphic, metamorphosed and ultrametamorphic. Practical teaching
Demonstration and analysis of characteristic examples of metallic and non-metallic mineral deposits in the world and the demonstration of their genetic model. Introduction with graphical and textual documentation related with the chosen examples of mineral deposits. Macroscopic determination of ore samples with the aim of understanding the features which are important for genetic interpretations. |
