Genesis of the Ozark Mississippi Valley-Type Metallogenic Province, Missouri, Arkansas, Kansas, and Oklahoma, USA

  • Chapter
Sediment-Hosted Zn-Pb Ores

Part of the book series: Special Publication of the Society for Geology Applied to Mineral Deposits ((MINERAL DEPOS.,volume 10))

Abstract

The Ozark region of the United States midcontinent is host to the largest Mississippi Valley-type (MVT) lead-zinc province in the world. The region includes the world-class districts of the Old Lead Belt, Viburnum Trend, and Tri-State districts and the smaller northern Arkansas, central Missouri, and southeast Missouri barite districts. This metallogenic province was the product of an enormous hydrothermal system that affected more than 350 000 km3 of rock. The hydrothermal fluids migrated into the Ozark region in late Paleozoic in response to convergent plate tectonics in the Ouachita foldbelt.

Ore districts were localized by a variety of paleohydrological controls on the migration of the hot basinal brines. Rock-water interactions in lithologically different aquifers produced ore districts with distinct metal ratios and isotopic compositions.

Reaction path modeling of quantitative fluid inclusion compositions shows that each district has its own depositional mechanism. The dominant ore depositional mechanisms are fluid mixing and wall rock reaction. The nearisothermal effervescence of CO2 from the ore fluid during migration to lower confining pressures produced widespread sparry dolomite and trace sulfides.
