Origin and nature of the aluminium phosphate-sulfate minerals (APS) associated with uranium mineralization in triassic red-beds (Iberian Range, Spain)

Abstract

[ES] Este estudio se centra en el estudio mineralógico y químico de una mineralización de fosfato de aluminio y sulfato (APS) que se produce en una secuencia clástica del Triásico (Buntsandstein) de la Cordillera Ibérica. El depósito está constituido por areniscas, lutitas y conglomerados con matriz arenosa, que fueron depositados en ambientes de fluvial a marino somero. Además de los minerals APS, los minerales diagenéticos siguientes están presentes en la secuencia clástica: cuarzo, feldespato potásico, minerales del grupo de la caolinita, illita, óxidos-hidróxidos de Fe, cemento sulfatado-carbonatado de sustitución y minerales secundarios uraníferos. Los minerales APS fueron identificados y caracterizados por microscopía óptica, difracción de rayos X, microscopía electrónica de barrido, y microsonda electrónica. Los microcristales APS reemplazan a minerales uraníferos, asociados con caolinita, mica y poros de relleno en arcosas-subarcosas fluviales a mareales distales. Dado su contenido en Ca, Sr, y Ba, los minerales APS se pueden definir como una solución sólida de crandallite-goyacite-gorceixite (0,53 Ca, Sr y Ba 0,46 0,01). La baja concentración en LREE y Sr S> sugieren que los minerales APS se originaron durante la alteración supergénica de las areniscas del Buntsandstein debido a la presencia de los fluidos mineralizantes que provocan el desarrollo de areniscas con U en una zona de alteración distal precipitando a partir de minerales alterados detríticos. Además, la aparición de dickita asociada a minerales APS indica que se precipitaron a temperaturas diagenéticas (superior a 80 º C), en relación con el levantamiento que tuvo lugar durante la etapa térmica post-rift en el Cretácico tardío.

[EN] This study focuses on the mineralogical and chemical study of an Aluminium-phosphate-sulphate (APS) mineralization that occurs in a clastic sequence from the Triassic (Buntsandstein) of the Iberian Range. The deposit is constituted by sandstones, mudstones, and conglomerates with arenaceous matrix, which were deposited in fluvial to shallow-marine environments. In addition to APS minerals, the following diagenetic minerals are present in the clastic sequence: quartz, K-feldspar, kaolinite group minerals, illite, Fe-oxides-hidroxides, carbonate-sulphate cement-replacements and secondary uraniferous minerals. APS minerals were identified and characterized by optical microscopy, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and electron microprobe. Microcrystalline APS crystals occur replacing uraniferous minerals, associated with kaolinite, mica and filling pores, in distal fluvial-to-tidal arkoses-subarkoses. Given their Ca, Sr, and Ba contents, the APS minerals can be defined as a solid solution of crandallite- goyacite-gorceixite (0.53 Ca, 0.46 Sr and 0.01 Ba). The chemical composition, low LREE concentration and Sr > S suggest that the APS mineral were originated during the supergene alteration of the Buntsandstein sandstones due to the presence of the mineralizing fluids which causes the development of Ubearing sandstones in a distal alteration area precipitating from partially dissolved and altered detrital minerals. Besides, the occurrence of dickite associated with APS minerals indicates they were precipitated at diagenetic temperatures (higher than 80°C), related to the uplifting occurred during the late Cretaceous post-rift thermal stage.
