Ap. Berzina et al., Isotopic composition of hydrogen in magmatic rocks of the Sora porphyry Modeposit (Kuznetsk Alatau), GEOL GEOFIZ, 41(6), 2000, pp. 846-856
The Sera magmatic center, formed in the Early-Middle Paleozoic, includes su
bduction- (gabbros), collision-, (plutonic granitoids), and rift-related fo
rmations. The latter are represented by ore-bearing calc alkalic porphyry a
nd bimodal complexes, which formed almost synchronously. Their rocks have e
levated delta D values (-78 to -126 parts per thousand) as compared to othe
r centers with porphyry Mo-Cu mineralization in the Central-Asian mobile be
lt, which is explained by the closer connection of this center with the man
tle source at the early stage of development of the belt.
The delta D values of calc-alkalic magma responsible for the formation of t
he Sera center increased from the subduction stage (-81 parts per thousand)
to the collision (-64 parts per thousand) and rifting (-52 parts per thous
and) stages, which was probably due to the supply of more deep-seated fluid
s at each further stage of magmatism. The initial source of the Devonian bi
modal magmatism is the richest in deuterium (-45 parts per thousand).
At the subduction and collision stages, the differentiation of calc-alkalic
magma was followed by an increase in delta D. On differentiation of the or
e-bearing porphyry melt, the delta D value decreased as a result of redistr
ibution of deuterium into the fluid which was separated from the melt. The
interaction of the separated high-temperature fluid with crystallized rocks
led to an increase in delta D in them.
