The ^3He/^4He ratio varies from1.3 to 8.7 Ra(n=10, average: 5.1 Ra), whereas the ^40Ar/^36Ar ratio is from 285.3 to 314.7(n=10, average: 294.8). These results suggest that the He was derived from a mixture of MORB with variable amounts of seawater, but the Ar in the ore-forming fluids trapped in the sulfides is predominantly derived from seawater. The fluid inclusions of barite have a wide range of homogenization temperatures and salinities varying from 163℃ to 260℃ and 2.6 wt%to 8.5 wt% Na Cl equiv., respectively. It is suggested that the ore-forming fluids were produced by phase separation, which agreed with the present-day vent fluid study.展开更多

There are significant differences in types of polymerized molecular network structure and degree of bond breakdown of the magmatic glass phases between the non-CO2 and CO2 gas pools: magmatic glass phases of fluid inclusions and matrix in volcanic rocks from the CO2 gas pool contain more sheet network molecules and have a greater degree of bond beakdown than those from the non-CO2 gas pool; and when gas bubbles occur in evolving magma, magma saturated with volatile components has more sheet network molecules. The results suggest the magmadegassing mechanism of the formation of CO2 gas pools in the Shengli oilfield.展开更多
