dc.description.abstract | The role of organic matter in the formation of metal ores has been investigated in the Nonesuch Formation at White Pine, Michigan. Organic matter in mineralized strata was characterized by isotopic, molecular and spectrophotometric procedures and compared to organic matter in non-mineralized rocks. Samples from the White Pine copper mine contain little organic carbon in comparison to samples from non-mineralized sections of the Nonesuch Formation. Residual organic matter in mine samples is depleted in solvent-extractable matter, is relatively aromatic in character, and appears to be thermally overmature, yet no difference in carbon isotopic contents exists between kerogen isolated from mineralized and non-mineralized rocks. Comparisons suggest that oxidation of organic matter was involved in the reduction of oxidized metalliferous brines to precipitate copper sulfides and native copper and silver in this setting. | en_US |
