摘要

A growing body of evidence indicates a relationship in the genesis of the Pb-Zn-Cu ores of the Southeast Missouri district to Late Paleozoic tectonism along the Appalachian-Ouachita orogenic belt. The present study investigates the role that deep, sedimentary brines in the Ozark region, mobilized by the creation of steep topographic gradients during Ouachita orogenesis, played in the formation of the ores. The paleohydrology of this flow system was reconstructed and geochemical ore depositional mechanisms within this context were explored.;Transient finite element calculations of fluid flow, heat transport, and solute transport led to quantitative characterization of the evolution of the fluid velocity, temperature, and salinity fields as a result of uplift and erosion of Ozark topography. Predicted temperatures for the Southeast Missouri district did not match apparent ore-forming temperatures unless heat flow in the region was assumed to be considerably higher that it is at present. Results of the hydrologic calculations showed further that the onset of fluid velocities and temperatures optimal for forming the ores coincided very closely with the onset of low salinities, generated by meteoric recharge, unsuitable for forming the ores. Unless salinity was somehow replenished, then a relatively short period of time (10;Reactive transport calculations showed that the predicted thermal structure of the Ozark flow system was naturally conducive to the localization of ores in Southeast Missouri by cooling. However, the results also affirmed traditional criticisms of the cooling model, namely that the rate of ore deposition would be too slow given the amount of time available, and the ratio of quartz to metal sulfide mineral precipitation would be too high. Simulations of the mixing of separately transported metals and reduced sulfur showed that this mechanism would also lead to the concentration of ores in Southeast Missouri, due to local hydrogeologic controls. However, the simulations also showed mixing of fluids in the hydrologic environment of the Southeast Missouri district to be less efficient an ore-forming mechanism than has often been supposed, based on geochemical grounds alone.
