Abstract

Measurements have been made on fluid inclusions from mines and drill core within and adjacent to the Viburnum Trend and Northern Arkansas Zinc Mississippi Valley-type districts. Hydrothermal dolomite is the primary host mineral for the inclusions examined, but measurements have also been made on inclusions in sphalerite and calcite. Measurements of homogenization temperature (Th) and final melting temperature of ice (Tm) for 306 fluid inclusions are tabulated and briefly discussed. Results of this study give information on temperature and salinity of the ore fluids beyond the boundaries of the mining districts and provide insight into the regional distribution of the hot, saline brines trapped in the inclusions.
