Fluid Inclusion Photomicrographs
Detailed Description
Photomicrographs of secondary fluid inclusions in apatite (A) and milky quartz (B–H) from Pea Ridge. A.–C. Saline liquid-rich inclusions. D. Hypersaline inclusion with halite, calcite, and hematite. E. Vapor-rich inclusion. F. Hypersaline inclusion with CO2. G. Vapor-rich inclusion with CO2. H. Inclusion assemblage with variable phase ratios. Similar inclusions are present in each alteration zone and within fragments in the REE-rich breccia pipes. From Hofstra and others, 2016, doi:10.2113/econgeo.111.8.1985.

Iron Oxide-Copper-Cobalt-Gold-Rare Earth Element Deposits of Southeast Missouri—From the Ore Deposit Scale to a Global Deposit Model
The project main objectives are to: 1) geologically, characterize the setting and origin of the iron-copper-cobalt-gold-rare earth element deposits, and advance the knowledge of rare earth element and Co potential within iron oxide-copper-gold (IOCG) deposits of southeast Missouri, and 2) geophysically delineate and characterize the subsurface Precambrian geology using existing ground and new...
